Dusty Baker says he contacted the #Padres about their open managerial job and was told thanks for your interest. But, no thanks.

Coghlan in RF today. Makes sense with how Soler looked.

Like I said, no Soler power in the cold. He will be back at Wrigley as it warms back up.

Is it supposed to be any warmer in Chicago?

Two cold weather teams though so it's really not that much of a difference.

It won't be. Seems like it will be windy in Chicago again as of now. But it usually is.

Yeah it's windy in NYC too. Thankfully no snow.

:lol one step closer to joining the Nationals.

Dusty needs to go to a team that has no chance of winning the World Series, but he'll get them to be above average and just good enough to sell tickets for a few years and they rebuild. Like the White Sox or Braves.

I'm pretty sure no one will let him manage a professional baseball team ever again.

Huh, Padres are smart.

 

[Silver Arrows]

Huh, Padres are smart.

and yet AJ Preller still believed they were in it after the All-Star break

I have a hard time classifying anyone who willfully trades for Matt Kemp as "smart".

this too

I'd like to take this moment to point out that Melvin Upton had a 110 wRC+ and 1.6 fWAR in 87 games last year.

God is dead

I remember when some analysts were saying last fall that Kemp could still be a really good defender in a corner outfield spot. Uh, nope.

How bad was that OF defensively? Myers was out for awhile but couldn't been good at all.

Pretty bad, but not the worst.

 

[Tragicomedy]

Pretty bad, but not the worst.

Rays better than Royals? The Alex Rios effect in play.

 

[GK86]

Let's go Mets!! Make it 2-0.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Rays better than Royals? The Alex Rios effect in play.

And Kiermaier was beast out there.

 

[Rock And Roll]

As expected, the betting lines are shit tonight. No bets for me. I got the Cubs to win tonight though I still expect the Mets to win the series.

 

[lazybones18]

Ok Cubs, let's even this series up

 

[bebop242]

Let's go Cubs!! Make it 1-1.

FTFY

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Let's go Syndegawd!

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Let's tie it up.

I see the amazing TBS camera work is starting early lol.

 

[GK86]

Off to a good start.

 

[BumRush]

Thor has insane poise for his age. Great inning.

 

[Link]

Good start for Thor, though I don't like that it took 20 pitches to get through the inning. All his pitches seem to be on.

 

[GK86]

Fuck your shift.

 

[Link]

Fuck your shift.

The Mets could really take advantage of those shifts if they were actually able to bunt.

 

[BumRush]

Really though, why is wright hitting 2nd?

Edit: in this case, thanks for proving me wrong baseball gods

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Captain!!!

 

[Link]

Really though, why is wright hitting 2nd?

His OBP isn't bad with his walks.

Also, that.

 

[GK86]

Really though, why is wright hitting 2nd?

Because of that lol.

 

[richiek]

The Captain finally gets the big hit!!

 

[chicagocubsfan]

well fuck

 

[lazybones18]

ffs Fowler, you're supposed to catch that

 

[J2 Cool]

Back to back nights going down inning 1

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

Arrieta's done

There were signs of it during the Wild Card start, and Maddon was incredibly stupid to let him throw a CG then

 

[squall211]

The captain showing signs of life!

 

[Lexxism]

lol fowler

 

[Link]

ffs Fowler, you're supposed to catch that

I thought the same thing about the Lagares last night. The wind is making things tricky.

 

[GK86]

The wind made that go foul. So close.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Holy shit Murph is en fuego

 

[zroid]

Murph is murdering baseballs

 

[BumRush]

Even though that went foul, Mets hitters are seeing Arrieta well tonight.

 

[CygnusXS]

Arrieta can't something something in the playoffs
