QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Aug 5, 2015 -> 11:04 PM) First of all a 2.2 WAR difference is huge. Secondly, even with Bryant's offense going into the toilet the last 4-6 weeks he's still the 5th best offensive 3B in the game overall this season, and he's getting a ton of value from his baserunning. Fangraphs ranks him as the second most valuable baserunner in baseball this year behind Billy Hamilton. http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=...0&sort=18,d I don't know if I buy that. He might be good, but almost as good as Billy Hamilton?

QUOTE (JUSTgottaBELIEVE @ Aug 5, 2015 -> 09:44 PM) I have no idea how Bryant's output this season results in a WAR of 3.5 especially when you consider that Josh Donaldson is "only" at 5.7. Their offensive numbers aren't even close and Donaldson is the superior defender as well. That's a 2.2 win difference. Donaldson has around 50 more plate appearances, which is about 1/12 of a full season (600 PA). So a person who can output 2.2 WAR in those 50 PAs can theoretically have around 26 WAR a season. In other words, it's a big difference for only 50 PAs.

I have to admit, I'm really lost as to what the hell is actually happening in TD this season. There's an article on Slate breaking all of it down and even that thing is too long to read.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Aug 4, 2015 -> 11:13 AM) Eh. It's not like they were making it out to be like all of these guys were falling in love with her (other than Cena and Hader's characters). Not unrealistic at all that she wouldn't have a hard time finding guys at bars to sleep with her. It felt like the film made it seem like all the guys did fall in love with her or at least wanted more than a one night stand.

I'm watching Trainwreck bit by bit and there's one thing that I found to be unrealistic...there's no way guys would be lining up to bang Amy Schumer. It's not like she's a 10/10. Hell if Bree Larson was the main character, it'd be a little more believable.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 4, 2015 -> 10:03 AM) Horrible Bosses 2 was probably the worst movie I have seen in quite a while. You know a movie is bad when one of the outtakes after the movie is over has the funniest line in the entire movie. I got sick of Charlie Day and Jason Sudekis acting like bigger idiots than the first movie. That along with the fact that it wasn't all that funny just ruined it.

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Aug 3, 2015 -> 08:15 PM) I had fun with the actual collecting, but that mode gets really repetitive. They need to add something else to vary things a bit. Mine is something like this... 1) Gordon 2) Pollock 3) Braun/Dickerson Platoon 4) Abreu 5) Martinez/occasionally Upton 6) Frazier 7) Vogt/Norris platton 8) Crawford I got basically all of those guys pretty cheap and put most of my assets into my rotation. I've got Seaver, Harvey, Kluber, Cole and Keuchel/DeGrom (should have grabbed Grienke before he jumped to a diamond). lol you're on another level with your rotation

I've been playing Diamond Dynasty recently and I've finally built a pretty decent team. With the new roster updates, I was able to nab Puig, Rizzo, Shields, and Kipnis. My lineup: 1. Hamilton 2. Reyes 3. Puig 4. Rizzo 5. Bautista 6. Machado 7. Kipnis 8. Lucroy 9. Archer

I feel like he's a little too inconsistent to give ace money to. A great example would be the start today.

Umpire did an absolutely terrible job enforcing the warning he gave in the first inning. Blue Jays had every right to be pissed.

Damn Valencia's solid. He'd be great to have.

I hate Kurt Suzuki

Nice win. We have a nice shot of taking the series tomorrow with Shark going.

I like how Hawk had nothing to say about that double play. Lexi and Sanchez made that look easy.

Apparently Danks is really good against good teams...I don't get it.

I'm scared every time Duke pitches. He serves up HRs better than anyone else in the bullpen.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 1, 2015 -> 08:27 PM) Nice to see the Danks support! I like it. Soon, someday you all will be joining me on the Danks bandwagon. Believe me, Greg is good at the eye test. The eye test tells me Danks is a very good pitcher still coming back from the injury. I love the way he competes. I love the way he works fast. I love JOHN DANKS! It's been two years dude. He's never going to be the guy he was before the shoulder injury. He'll be a guy who can throw in the high 80s for the rest of his career.

You either buy or sell. Either you think you can make the postseason and strengthen that thought by adding a bat or you sell because you don't think you have enough. Don't just sit there and think we have enough, because honestly we don't.

So our lone acquisition is...Justin Sellers?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 03:00 PM) Phil Rogers ‏@philgrogers 39s39 seconds ago #WhiteSox lose primary target, w/@MLBBruceLevine reporting Yoenis Cespedes to Mets. W/o trading Samardzija, CWS lacked chipto win bidding. lol what? The Tigers got two two prospects I've never heard of from the Mets. How did we lack the chips?

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 02:58 PM) It was 1 minute after. I must have read it 20 minutes after.

Patience guys, I remember the Peavy deal didn't surface until 20 minutes after the deadline in 2009.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 02:57 PM) Wow, Levine got something right and he got a shoutout from Rosenthal lol I was like, Levine broke a trade? What?

I bet the prospects aren't that good. Tigers probably didn't want to help the Sox out.
