  1. Was that really gum? It was the most brittle, sharp-edged slab of something. Like a bubblegum-scented slab of pressboard that tasted like, well, pressboard. And it broke when you chewed it!! What kind of gum breaks when you chew it???!?
  2. I remember Zac. Very sad.
  3. With Jeffrey’s and Knebel, he doesn’t get the save chances....
  4. Rogen is probably cheaper anyway. What other parts need to be cast so this complete lack of story can be told? Do we need a Ken Rosenthal to deliver no news everyday? I think Josh Malina is perfect for his part. He can just stare in awkward silence at Buster Olney, as portrayed by Andy Milonakis...
  5. Do the Yankees only have Florial at 106?
  6. Maybe for some scenes 10 years down the road where Kimbrel has just let himself go. (Rogen as an athlete? Really?) I say Jason Momoa, but he needs to cut his hair...
  7. And the only reason you can keep pace at all is Severino. But if he isn’t Severino and is instead Julio Teheran 2.0 or Mat Latos 2.0 or Jair Jurrjens.... you get the idea. It’s easy to think “no way that will happen,” but I didn’t choose these names by accident or at random; they’re from his “Similar Pitchers By Age” list on B-R.com. FYI: Teheran is number 1...
  8. Also, Bryce Harper will be played by Chris Pratt , and since the role requires him to do nothing for 6 months, it shouldn’t tax his acting ability. Manny Machado will be played by Luis Guzman, who is a little old for the part but... hey, the guy is in every movie. He has to fit in here somewhere...
  9. It’s just a different method of analyzing the same game. You’re old enough to remember thermometers filled with mercury (and the horrible places people had to put them), but nowadays we have these magical electronic gizmos you swipe across your forehead or pop in your ear for one second. They all work, but at the end of the day, it’s all still looking at temperature...
  10. In his last full season, he was worth 4.9 fWAR, so it’s not as outrageous as you imply. Really the biggest factor will be how much time he spends on the field...
  11. A phone? Is that one of those old-timey things with a dial that people used to talk into? I think I saw one in a museum once...
  12. If you want a more physical resemblance than Buscemi or Carrell, I nominate former Boston comedian Jon Benjamin, the voice of the titular characters in Archer and Bob’s Burgers, which are two hilarious shows...
  13. It’s a safe bet Lowrie won’t make 2b over Pedroia for the AL All Star team regardless, as he is now in the NL and switching to 3b...
  14. Yes if you prefer ERA as a measure. For a long time the philosophy was “best pitchers start, worse pitchers to the bullpen.” Then it evolved to “ worse pitchers to the bullpen plus one really good reliever who closes.” But now, teams seem to be gravitating towards putting better pitchers in the bullpen and relying on starters less, probably driven by economics, as middle relievers tend to be the cheapest pitchers...
  15. Even then, I can name numerous other relievers who are reliable the majority of the time. Some teams just build bullpens using primarily cheaper high upside/no consistency pitchers. But do you think the Yankee bullpen with Chapman, Britton, Ottavino, Green, and Betances has a lot of volatile pitchers? Or the Brewers bullpen with Hader, Jeffress, Knebel, Barnes, etc? Or when the Royals had Holland, Davis, Crow and Collins? Some teams just use good pitchers in their bullpen. dgalehouse summed it up. Some relievers are crapshoots, but so are some starters...
  16. Recurring SNL character a few years ago. I thought Moynihan was hilarious...
  17. Oh galehouse, you’re about one step away from Bobby Moynihan’s “Drunk Uncle” character with this rant
  18. Nobody wants to see James Woods anymore. Bryan Cranston should play Dombrowski and Scott Boras will be portrayed by a 3 foot tall CGI devil voiced by Andy Cerkis using his Gollum voice...
  19. Thank God we have your unbiased opinion to set those silly pundits straight (and to tell them what facts they are using and why those are wrong). And thank you for pointing out Happ’s superiority to Price and evidencing it with a season where Price threw all of 79 IP...
  20. Hanks is too old to play Epstein. Jason Schwartzman or Justin Long would be better...
  21. What if Dombrowski was played by Tom Hanks? Still zero stars?
  22. That did seem like a really stupid idea for a movie. When exactly did Kevin Costner forget how to pick a script?
  23. Swihart to Cincy for the recently DFAd Jose Lopez might have been a fair trade. But I guess DD isn’t as big of as fan of the former Reds’ top ten prospect...
  24. But that’s still just 4 games plus some postseason after a pretty good layoff. Interestingly, his first game back was one of his hardest throwing. So that begs the question - was he throwing softer because that was all he could do? Or because he was trying to find his optimum velocity again?
  25. K The dollar conversion assumes you want to replace that player with a free agent at the current full price...
