Jiji Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 From ESPN's stats twitter: Kyle Schwarber is the first Cubs player within modern era (since 1900) to hit 12 HR within his first 42 career games Up 6-0 in the 4th. Blue Jays come back in the 9th and win too. August has been a good month for baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 @UniWatch just mentioned on White Sox broadcast that some coaches may wear shorts for the upcoming throwback game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabe Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 The Brewers consider the Milwaukee Braves their history as well for whatever bizarre reason, so we pretend we won a WS, although technically the city did, it just wasn't this franchise in any context or historical linking.Eddie Matthews never played for the Brewers. You don't get to claim the title won by that team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Man Known as Dan Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 So, would I be coming across as homerish if I said its kinda bullshit that two teams with the 3rd and 4th best record in baseball are most likely going to have to go through a one game playoff, with the winner getting to play the best team in baseball in "round 1" while the Mets and whoever wins the West getting to Play each other round 1? Just kinda sucks that 3 teams who have been great are gonna cannibalize each other before the NLCS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Lucia Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 It's not homerish at all, but this isn't exactly a situation that would have been easy to foretell. Who could have expected that the NL East and NL West would have been so damn bad? Still don't think it's more egregious than the 103 win Giants staying home in 1993. Win the second-most games in baseball? Tough shit, should have won the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Man Known as Dan Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 You traded him. If you wanted him so bad, you should have worked on an extension. Also, don't blame us on your management deciding your bigger needs was a fat Third Baseman and Hanley Ramirez instead of going into pitching. We knew exactly what we wanted to do this off-season and we did it. Your teams mindset was throw money around and make giant flashy moves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elizium Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 "Stole" Maybe he would have been more inclined to resign with the Sox if they, you know, didn't trade him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 ESPN has an article on Javier Baez and his sister Noely. It's pretty darn good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man Known as Dan Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Javy Baez is in kind of a weird limbo right now. The Cubs are good, and he isn't a part of it. He no longer appears on prospect lists, so you don't hear him getting talked about there. In general, it seems like people have made up there minds on him. Then you put that aside, and look at what he's done, and realize he's a 22 year old above average defensive SS who is putting up a .917 OPS in Triple A this year. He's striking out about 25% of the time, which is still a lot, but significantly lower then he was doing last year at this level. Basically, don't write him off yet.
