Just seeing the phrase "concurrent surgeries" at the end of that article made me squirm. Who would ever think that's ok? Especially when it's something that could result in spinal cord damage.

He definitely did not make that kick, but it still looked about 70 yards or so, which is still awesome obviously.

Yeah, could certainly be the distraction they needed to try to show how pious they are by taking a tough stand against racism, despite it being overwhelming obvious that it was the circle game. Also, once this story came out, I'm assuming by a white supremacist who saw it as a golden chance to get exposure for their cause by co-opting this harmless game for their own publicity, the can of worms was already opened and the Cubs likely felt boxed in to just tell everyone that this guy was racist and deserving of the ban not only to save their own face, but to look like social justice heroes.

I've seen the upright OK sign mentioned before, but I've never seen anyone give them the power to take away the circle game as well. This is so ridiculous. Also banned from Wrigley Field effectively immediately are Reece, Malcolm, and Stevie.

Walker walked in his 4th PA.

'Twas not I. But he's listed at 6 foot, which obviously isn't big, but that doesn't scream "super tiny" to me. Stroman is only 5'7".

Hoese up to #29? Damn. I need him to suck down the stretch here. lol

I tweeted out after his last start that his days in Kanny were numbered. This start tonight obviously reinforces that. Can't imagine he could have any more than 2-3 more starts at the MOST if he's this good onward.

To clarify what Blaze posted, WSDave said "I think they are going to draft Hunter Bishop out of ASU...I think they are going to way under slot and then draft this pitcher who is lighting the world on fire from Crystal Lake Central High School". Said maybe they will offer $5M to Bishop and then throw the rest at Priester. Slot value at #3 overall is $7,221,200. Slot at #45 is $1,650,200. Assuming they do $5M for Bishop and just slide that money over, that's about $3.9M for Priester, which is #15 overall slot value.

He was more than that, he was a top 4 pick in a lot of the mocks I saw over the winter.

I was coming here to say the exact same thing. With the Dbacks having about every 5th pick in the draft, it's going to be really hard for teams to roll the dice on that strategy, especially the Sox who have 42 picks between selections.

I guess with the amount of hype and non-stop talk about the show I am expecting something on the level of Breaking Bad, and it's definitely not. But that's fine, because it's clearly entertaining enough, and even I'm invested on how it ends now, but I guess my expectations of WHY people love the show were off.

Callis replied to my tweet and said he doesn't think Hoese will get to the Sox at #45.

What was the significance of the library scene then? Watch this undetectable girl be detected? I'm far from the only one who has questioned her ease of putting herself in that position to kill the Night King without anyone noticing. There is a huge GoT fanboy at work who answers questions for me and he even thought it was a bit weak to allow him to be so vulnerable.

So the White Walkers can move extremely fast and completely overcome enemies with no regard to their wellbeing.....unless they need to fight a main character, then they can one by one stand in a circle and get chopped down by Jon Snow or the dragon lady and her guard? And what the fuck was Jon Snow doing just giving himself up to be killed by the dragon? And they JUST demonstrated that the white walkers are extremely sensitive to sound in that library scene. Now all the sudden Arya can run through all of them undetected and kill the biggest villain in the show? I dunno man, for a show that people hype up as being the greatest ever, I was surprised how often that episode fell in to the same old dumb threads as any other lollipop battle scene or network TV show. And how the hell did those people NOT think that hiding in a crypt among the dead MIGHT be a bad idea when the guy coming in to your castle has his entire lore built on being able to raise people from the dead? I dunno man, the scene with the zombies laying their bodies across the fire to build a bridge over it was legit awesome and clever, but most of the rest of it was a big eyeroll for me. And lastly, I REALLY thought the Night King was going to kneel down before Bran. They both looked at each other like they were intimately familiar with each other and Bran didn't looked nervous or scared. Would have been a cool twist. Also, if you are going to have a guy who can watch the entire battlefield at once through aerial views from birds, don't you want that guy near someone in command who can change battle plans? I get he was used as bait, but it's not like they seemed to have a real plan to kill the Knight King once he actually took the bait.

Nah, I bet Robert is around #10-12.

Drey Jameson went 7 IP tonight, 4 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 12 K. Now up to 104 K and 22 BB in 66 IP.

Assuming Manny gets a shot at the rotation now.

Welp, and there goes Santana.

No, he was their Saturday starter I believe.

Fuck I had no idea this happened. Watching the video of it now. He pretty much immediately bursts in to tears. Awful.

W-S for confidence boost, since there is a chance he's mentally fragile.

Also, Captain Phasma is so totally dying. That whole scene with her getting knighted made my girlfriend cry, so it must have been an enormous moment for her character, which obviously translates to a swan song as a lot of you have pointed out.
