QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Sep 10, 2015 -> 01:45 AM) s*** we're 14th now? The damn Orioles are behind us now. Arizona has fallen off a bit the last two weeks too. Only good thing about not having a protected pick is it might avoid another disastrous free agent signing

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Sep 10, 2015 -> 01:36 AM) Melky has sucked. If we're going by BA as the metric than Garcia is a whopping 2 points lower. They both have sucked. Right there is fugging 4-6 WAR that the team really f***ing needed and did not get. Instead they got negative WAR. Hard to figure how hard some of these guys suck. Makes me want to change the manager ya know? And especially the GM

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Sep 10, 2015 -> 01:35 AM) Garcia has massively sucked this year. But with Melky, we knew what we were getting defensively. Offensively, has he underperformed? Yes. But has he massively sucked? No. He has been excellent with RISP and his .271 batting average is at least respectable. Melky is 144 out of 153 in fWAR. Avi 145th. Melky has a worse offensive rating than Avi as well. I stand by my statement that they both suck.

Samardzija deserves credit for doing his best to get the Sox a top ten pick.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Sep 10, 2015 -> 01:29 AM) Melky is better than Garcia... They both have massively sucked this year

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 10, 2015 -> 01:29 AM) Coop doesn't even go talk to him when he is getting hammered. Maybe Kaplan knows something No doubt in my mind there's some truth to that story

Melky probably can't wait for this season to end. Really awful beginning and end to the season for him .

Farmer and DJ were saying Samardzija doesn't pitch inside enough, as well as believing he is comfortable with his delivery when games start. They were also amazed at how many pitches he throws right down the plate.

Really see no reason not to give someone else Samardzija's starts.

JJ Cooper ‏@jjcoop36 42m42 minutes ago Carson Fulmer sat 94-95 t 96 in the first. Showed the nasty cb 5 times and bounced the one change he threw.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Sep 10, 2015 -> 12:20 AM) Thing is, they already had an ally in their minor league system and atleast Saladino provides elite defense. I'm assuming that means that Micah stands no chance of being with this team next season then. very high odds he's traded, it seems

QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 9, 2015 -> 11:12 PM) Well, the good news then is very few fans are ever seated high enough in the stands to ever be able to make way of what band formation shape is. Good point, I still think the band leader should be fired though.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Sep 9, 2015 -> 11:11 PM) WHY?! As I said last night, this is a good thing for the organization. Means they have higher expectations from their starters next year than what Saladino would likely provide. He has all the makings of a utility player.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 9, 2015 -> 10:27 PM) It was clearly the enterprise made to symbolize a dick, I thought it was awesome. While funny, I feel like an old man in saying it's truly despicable to do something like this with potentially thousands of kids in the stands.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 9, 2015 -> 09:51 PM) Chuck Swirsky on Twitter ready to give the Cubs the next 5 World Series. Wow, you're not kidding. He makes J4Life sound pessimistic. Good thing Chuck was allowed to do so many Sox games.

Wow, huge win for Cardinals!

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 9, 2015 -> 08:53 PM) My family who are Cards fans don't like him either. As for Cards offense, going after Brandon Moss (and giving up a good pitching prospect) instead of Lind is one of the dumber moves of this past trade deadline.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Sep 9, 2015 -> 04:22 PM) Honestly, when the team is bad, I think I'd rather follow Hot Stove rumors. Agreed, part of me just wants to get into the offseason with the main starting pitchers healthy.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 9, 2015 -> 08:13 PM) That Cardinals lineup looks...bad. They really need Holliday back for the playoffs. Quite a few of their guys have regressed since the ASB. Funny how much their fans on twitter HATE Jon Jay

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Sep 9, 2015 -> 06:13 PM) The Cardinals yesterday looked like they went to sleep in a bed and woke up in the middle of an ocean. From the video I saw, Grichuk is playing CF today and can't throw the ball. Cubs scored cause he tossed the ball to Heyward to throw in.

Seriously, WTF Cardinals. Giving Cubs thoughts of beating them to the finish line now, only 5.5 back with 24 left if score holds.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 9, 2015 -> 03:48 AM) You think in a vacuum Trayce puts up a higher war than Saladino if both started over a full season at their respective positions? I'm leaning towards one of these guys having to play next year. Trayce already worth a 1 war but also pretty unsustainable. Considering they both play good defense, seems it would be easier for Saladino. With that said, I do question if the org is as high on Saladino as we thought. I'm surprised how Saladino has been sent to bench since Olt came on.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 9, 2015 -> 04:39 AM) I was surprised they brought him up so quick. His improvement the last two months has been the best thing that's happened all season

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 9, 2015 -> 04:37 AM) Really wish we'we'd seriously consider DH'ing Garcia for the forsee able future. Will never happen. Yep, I was just thinking I see no possible way Trayce could put up a lower WAR if he was our RF compared to Avi
