Bananarchy

No reason to be mad about Yoan. He had a couple of hits the next night.

Traditionally, the power hitter bats 3rd, but in reality, the fourth and 5th hitter are more likely to be at bat with more people on base. The 3 slot is severely overvalued in today's game. There is a very high chance the 3 slot comes up to bat with no one on. The 5, on the other hand, has a better opportunity to bat with people on base. The math is a little tricky, but it works out. Want to get really fun? All this discussion only talks about the first inning. There is another school of though which says "get your best player to bat the most". In that case, the leadoff man and the 2 spot should be your best all-around hitters, because once the first inning is over, the leadoff man doesn't necessarily lead off anymore. That's when things get really fun. 1/2 spot should be guys who get on base, 4-6 more power.

Sig predates the name change. I'm working on it.

Eloy made the cut

Cub forum perusing makes me feel better. For every SonofaRoache there are ten on Cubs boards. For everything which makes us different, we are all too similar. PSD has basically decided there is no talent on the Cubs

You won’t be satisfied until a person is killed. That Almora play was horrific

Fun times. Rebuild Totally worth it

Can we get Yonder in the banner, @Kalapse?

Barely fits my avatar.

Armour Square Arsenal

You're his favorite Cub fan

I have a ton of respect for @fathom. Dude loves the Sox. Same with greg, who I never agree with. You can tell he loves the sox

We honestly can't have a game thread without someone whining about the front office. Meanwhile we're trying to watch a baseball game. I just can't help but go after those people in game threads. And then (I wouldn't know for sure, I haven't seen a post from him in months) @Fan O'Faust adds nothing.

You are ruthless. I love it.

Yeah, his posts tend to age poorly.

The usual suspects are awfully quiet at the moment. Obviously Rick Hahn doesn't want to win.

Pretty much every Sox fan's wishes for today's game were 1) win 2) eloy homer we got both.

You're at the wrong website You meant to be here: https://www.northsidebaseball.com

Uhhh. Eloy

Eloy's swagger is so much more genuine than Javy Baez's bullshit.

White Sox! Yes!

What is it about Wrigley that makes Cub fans think every fly ball is a home run? Oh, that's right, it's the Cub fans, not Wrigley.

Probably @SonofaRoache That's his level of take.

Quintana trade won

Eloy!!!!! yesssss!!!
