2016 MLB Season Thread Baseball • Page 106

HAHA that'd be a miracle. That person would surely win NL Manager of the Year by far and then likely get fired for not allowing them to get that #1 draft pick.

 

Best paradox ever

 

Hey! We're going to trade all of your best players and then fire you bc you can't win with this garbage team we have given you!

That is so shitty haha

 

It's really stupid. The way front offices handle managers and coaches in pro sports defy logic.

 

Well, if anything goes wrong clearly it's the coach's fault because the front office isn't gonna take responsibility for shitty personnel decisions

 

Is it weather or is this typical Camden Yards attendance?

 

Altuve already more than halfway to last year's HR total

trying to keep this early part of the season afloat

 

Excited and nervous for this series against the Nats. The Cubs had a pretty weak April schedule, so this is the biggest test so far.

Interestingly, the Cubs Pythagorean W-L is 22-4.

 

Lol @ Derek Holland

 

Altrillve w/ another leadoff bomb

 

I'll be fine with splitting this series. I was hoping for 2 of 3 in Pittsburgh and that worked out so I'll just keep on aimin' low.

 

Still respect the Red Sox for giving Shaw the 3b job out of spring training while the Yankees would be better off just putting a wet paper bag out at third but they refuse to take Headley's job away.

 

Yankees offense doing no favors for Tanaka tonight.

 

Hell of a catch by Ackley.

 

Anybody know if Warren G officially killed the whole let a shitty celebrity sing Take Me Out To The Ballgame thing? God I hope that's the case.

 

it's a great time to be a marlins fan

 

Not yet. Nickelback still needs to perform it live. Then it can die.

 

Ellsbury has the saddest arm lol

 

What do you mean he did fine!!!!

His ERA doubled after that!

 

That was Ellsbury? Thought it was Johnny Damon.

 

hard to tell the difference

 

Jeez the Nats cannot play the outfield today lol

 

Okay, so, if you'll like baseball and also like books, you might want to get Ben Lindbergh (538) and Sam Miller's (Baseball Prospectus) new book The Only Rule Is It Has to Work: Our Wild Experiment Building a New Kind of Baseball Team

If you're hesitant, here's two excerpts to give you a taste of what the book is about. Read them in this order:
