Not buying the cubs this year, they beat up on bad teams but struggle vs good ones.They went 2-4 at home vs the dbacks and nationals(no strasburg,turner,schzrer,gonzalez) they suck with risp.
Hopefully I'm wrong cuz it only matters how you play in october(if they even get there) but this team has some glaring flaws.I honestly think this the dodgers year
The positive is willson contreras is having a breakout season -
? the Astros and the Royals for ? off my $100k parlay

edwards has lost it
im sure he will find it again
but you just cant trust him in one run games -
after that game goldschimdt had against Q its hard to pick against him but give me votto in a bases loaded situation because he might be the most patient batter in baseball as well as the smartest hitter
but in a non bases loaded risp situation give me goldschmidt
votto draws walks because he is INSANELY patient at the plate and knows the strike zone better than probably any player but i think he can be too patient to a fault on some frank thomas ? — frank would always say that a walk was as good as a hit -- he would take walks instead taking a more aggressive approach with risp
murphy would be third in either situation because they have more pop than him while being just as good as hitters -

Yea and for some odd reason maddon keeps marching his ass out there with a man on or in high leverage situations.He got rocked today they was ALL lining him up.It could be mental or somethin mechanical his command been a problem for a minute.
But yea I rather see rondon out there over edwards right now.Davis too his last few appearances been way more difficult than they should be. -
SMH DAMN..........R.I.P Dutch........he was the realest dude on that '93 squad

i honestly dont like joes bullpen management
never have
edwards has been bad since like the all star break
rondon had 1 bad game against stl but hadnt given up a run other than that in over a month
im all for showing confidence to pitchers but put edwards in a blowout game to work on confidence
the team needed that game more than cj needed that game -
and they have the astros and dodgers coming up
both sweeps
dont stop now boys
by my count the white sox just have about 200 or so games of brutal baseball left before they win 10 straight division titles with 4-5 world series sprinkled in
REST
IN
PEACE

THE
LEAGUE -
R.i.p. don baylor

WC comin for that #1 spot -
That Quintana inner city trade went down like I hoped

I watched that Live
Young Javy -
I might watch start watching white sox games in 2019.Haven't watched them religiously since the joe crede,magglio,carlos lee days. -
Stanton has been on a ? tear lately. Straight crushing baseballs.

Judge should be ROY & MVP -

Who is that chick sittin between the please and the update? -
I expect contreras to be out 4-8 weeks he was limping bad and had to be helped off the field
Cards surging,brewers stagnant,pirates in the cut.Nl central still up for grabs it's a 4 team race.This gonna hurt the cubs -

Yeah, he struggled since the HR Derby, but if it wasn't for Judge, the Yanks would be dead in the water
My vote would go to Sale, Judge, or the Midget 2B in Houston for the AL MVP
Sale AL Cy Young
Judge AL ROY -
i wonder how many games pujols batting 4th has cost the angels
he is so bad
below replacement level this year
a DH with a .270 obp
his salary goes up every year until the contract expires
2018: 27 million
2019: 28 million
2020: 29 million
2021: 30 million
the escalating salaries are the worst part — he wont have any incentive to retire early — they should have front loaded it making it more likely hed walk away early — its too bad if they didnt have that contract theyd be able to put a much better team around trout and simmons but at least hamiltons 26 million a year finally comes off the books after this season
