Looks like the Rox finally handed the closer role over to Ottavino. Good for him. Nothing against LaTroy or even Betancourt, but they are seemingly better in the setup role. We'll see if Ottavino can handle the new role. The stuff is obviously good enough.
I agree on the pitcher versus position player standpoint. I also think Bosio has done an outstanding job. I give him some credit for Arrieta. I also believe the organization change as a whole was a huge factor. The Orioles specifically made Arrieta pitch with one arm tied behind his back by...
I don't believe you can count on any value being there for either of them defensively in terms of the award. While they both have great arms(Soler being probably a little better) Bryant probably should be moved to LF quite honestly. I don't think 3rd base is his best position. He would be an...
I agree that Soler hits balls hard. I disagree that Bryant is going to k a lot more. Both will rack up the Ks during the course of a season. Bryant probably takes a few more BBs even though both have very good plate approaches and I believe Bryant will showcase more power and overall put up...
I think Bryant will be the ROY personally. That's not to say it can't be Soler. I just think that Bryant overall has been motivated to excel at every level he has been at and that will continue at the Major Leagues. I disagree with Ugly that Bryant will just be a good and not great player. I...
Not a fan of the Rox crew. Especially Drew Goodman. I do like Bob Brenly for the DBacks. His opinions and humor seem to resonate with me. Then again, I listened to him for years when he was a Cubs color man.
The absolute worst I have heard are the TV crews for the Reds and the Marlins for...
He had a great game overall. Throwing Cozart out at 3rd on that botched pickoff attempt by Lester was a thing of beauty. That's not even counting the 2 2 run bombs and the single he ripped in the 10th. Shout out to Jumbo Diaz for throwing what should have been a neck high fastball(with how...
There is hope for them. Not this season, but in the future if they tear it all down and begin the rebuild. A couple things need to go right of course. Tulo and Cargo would need to stay healthy and be productive until the ASB(obviously not a given considering how often they have missed games...
The Rockies have nobody but themselves to blame. LaTroy is not the guy you should be putting in the closer role. It's probably going to take another blown save for them to realize that. Ottavino is probably your best overall high leverage reliever, so he might be getting the chance...
He's not comfortable throwing to bases for whatever reason. I think it's something he and the team are going to have to address going forward. It's really surprising more teams didn't take advantage in the AL the last couple of seasons. The Cardinals sure took advantage of it on opening...
Nice. Been to Wrigley and Cubs Park in Mesa. Wrigley is beautiful, but obviously the renovation was long overdue. Good to see it taking its first steps into the 21st century even if there were bathroom issues for fans on opening night. Cubs Park is really top notch if you are ever in the...
I am honestly glad that there are fellow Cub fans on the board. My obsession with the team is unlikely to be matched IMO. As for the Back to the Future Cubs World Series win prediction in 2015, I don't see it coming true. I do agree it is very possible in the next 5 years with the kind of...
