Jerksticks

Sold out March 26th, 6 people the 28th sound about right?

I’m using notability with a tablet. It’s nice because I can take a picture as I’m taking notes which is crucial for my job. Not crazy about the whole apple pen and notability but it’s what I’m rolling with This thing seems really cool but not being able to picture in the note stream would hurt me and it also just seems like a lot of extra time having to scan each note page? I dunno. I could see this being badass for some folks though.

Does Sheets have the longest swing in the system? He looks just like Adam Dunn to me.

I’ve always been a huge fan of balancing the lineup, but I find myself wondering if it really matters that much anymore. Don’t get me wrong, I would love the big LH bat but not at the cost of forcing it.

1. Speedy RF with OBP. Doesn’t need high slugging. 2. Madrigal 3. Moncada 4. Robert 5. Jimenez 6. Vaughn 7. TA 8. Collins/McCann/DH 9. Collins/McCann/DH its so hard. Everybody is so good. I think the key for me is protecting Moncada with Robert. That will make Moncada a monster.

Truth. Even accounting for growing pains we should be better than most teams’ lineups. Not all, but probably most.

Yea Hahn nailed it.

Marcus Semirn did leave us with Buckets Of Semien, the greatest nickname the Internet may ever see.

John Jay bats cleanup though. Madrigal is a better Jay.

Lol buttcheeks?

Yea somebody has to take his place. Just can’t take any more Sanchez. It’s painful to watch his antics

Even with W/L there are intangibles that people refuse to acknowledge since it can’t be quantified. That’s idiocy to write off the stat completely. Just like it’s idiocy to put much stock in it. All the stats do is tell us stuff. It never hurts to listen.

I felt like every year between 2000-2012 we had a really good, exciting team on paper with a legit chance to make a run. Fuck Thomas’s triceps injury and fuck TCQ for ruining his career & fuck JFP’s back and just fuck Dunt.

Is this the worst lineup this year? Ever?

Trout Bellinger Scherzer Colome Yelich

Guilty over here too. I was done Danny Richaring him months ago though. Long overdue

Can’t be easy facing the best hitters in the world.

Not sure how big a score you need but you could always invest a few grand in a person or persons. Find some skilled trade people with integrity and help them out & set them up with a biz. That’s the only way I know how to get giant rips: people.

Nervous people are just nervous. They always need to blame somebody or hold somebody accountable for something. Most other people in the world are trying really hard every day to be proud of that day and treat people with respect. The nervous people...well they live on earth too.

I just can’t believe how good he is compared to last year. What a success

All I know is Giolito is doing an awesome job this year. Super excited to see if he can keep building on his success. Should be one of the more fun follows over the next 4-5 years

Maybe the only reason Hawk agreed to retire was if the FO went out and got Mazara. That’s the only way this makes sense.

Dude you are arguing a point that nobody disagrees with. Everyone understands the value difference between 30 IP of Chapman vs 6 years of Torres. Everybody on planet Earth understands that. Everyone. They had an opportunity to end a 108 yr drought in a down year. They pulled out all the stops. They got it done. Maybe both sides won the trade

This Charlotte talk is crazy to me- dude starts in MLB out of spring training, right? What am I missing?

I imagine sheets is trade garbage in the future. Maybe one day he’ll have some value. Getting to the majors before Vaughn would probably mean Vaughn is having a lot of trouble.
