On the one hand, I appreciate ya'll owning your takes OTOH, this take ain't it chiefs. Moncada was diagnosed with a strain by an MRI, and it is serious enough to be out 2 weeks. This is a legit injury. And no, I don't care about the time you played through 3 broken ankles for your beer league softball team or whatever other dumb story makes you think a guy not being able to play through a hammy strain is soft.

The Sodfather needs to let some clovers grow out there so he can find out if his crush likes him back

I can't tell if Gio has been lucky or unlucky so far

Nobody asked but I def took the under....

O/U 5.2IP before we break up the No-No?

What an epitome of a Hahn quote. "Logical to see a heightened level of aggressiveness this offseason." 1) This doesn't even say we WILL see a more aggressive offseason, just that it would make sense to 2) Heightened level of aggressiveness is a relative term, so it only means more aggressive than last year, which could still not be close to aggressive enough in the fans eyes The dude is a master at not actually committing to anything he sounds like he is. I'd pay a pretty penny to hear his wedding vows.

Where are all the "He's just a wimp that can't play through pain" takes from last night? C'mon, take a bow ya'll.

After a good night's rest I realized it isn't even worth engaging him anymore. Where is that new Roofshot guy? At least he was willing to read up on WAR. That's a guy I can at least have a convo with lol.

Called it. Totally called this shit.

Momma always said yanking it will make me go blind, turns out it just makes the ump go blind

Catcher yanked that ball like he was starting a lawnmower, how TF did he get that call?

Not at 100 pitches yet, watch Ricky throw him back in

You either agree with me, or you agree with me and are lying about it!!!!

I'm proudly a statnik, so I feel like I am doing a disservice by falling to infighting here, but WAR definitely has some subjectivity baked in, exemplified at the very least by the fact that there is both fWAR and bWAR. The derivation of the weighting of the factual outcomes allows opinions to influence the final result.

Which is irrelevant, because there are already many resources that explain WAR, both simply and in-depth. https://library.fangraphs.com/misc/war/ https://www.baseball-reference.com/about/war_explained.shtml http://m.mlb.com/glossary/advanced-stats/wins-above-replacement https://www.baseball-reference.com/about/war_explained_position.shtml Just because someone didn't memorize the equation doesn't mean they didn't look into it and verify its validity.

He didn't say meet halfway. He said the gap needed to be bridged. Not many good things come from stopping in the middle of a bridge.

Dream draft spot? 30th

Come on Jose. Time for you to show why you have Greg's undying loyalty

He gave up 1 run vs NYY, shut out MIN through 5, and dominated the Rays his last time out. He isn't consistent enough to be a true ace yet, but he has shown the potential to be that if he can be consistent with his stuff.

Ya'll need to chill on the hot takes. Gio's last 8 opponents have been NYY, BOS, CHCx2, KCR, TBR, and MINx2. That is a hell of a lot of good offenses. He'll be fine, especially as he gets more experience (and consistency) with his new delivery

Come on Moncada. Time to keep up with Cruz

Someone defend that bunt please. I need to fight someone, and Ricky is too far away. Idiocy.

WHY ARE WE PLAYING FOR ONE RUN WITH THE TOP OF THE ORDER UP IN THE 3RD WTFFFFFFFF

Fucking idiot but I'm not above charity, so I'll take it

Cruz looks like he could bunt for a HR when it is hot out here
