I don't always post at 2 am, but when I do, fuck the Cardinals.

Totally - Molina seems like a douchebag. And he is overrated. I guess if you believe that he has been head-and-shoulders better defensively than Bench, Rodriguez, Carter, etc, as the Fangraphs defensive metrics suggest, you can make the case that this career league-average hitter is a hall-of-famer. But that's putting a lot of faith in defensive metrics that are still in the early stages of quantification. (And on FG, they sure seem to have a strong recency bias, as the top 4 all-time C in defensive value are Molina, Rodriguez, Russell Martin and Brian McCann.)

That's because they mix up what goes into their defensive ratings depending on what data they have, which drives me fucking nuts.  The recent guys will have framing runs included in D-WAR.  The older guys won't, and they somehow think that's OK.

Slump bust on the ugly chick at 2am next time, it’s more forgivable.

Yeah, I read that they started factoring in framing data, but to your point, the metrics lose meaning if they are calculated differently across players.

Correa’s glove was in mid season form last night, no doubt 

[Scraps 13550]

Well, that was a dunk 2am post. I'll be on my way now.

Lol ok less of an idiot now

[Scraps 13550]

Doubling like Yordan

[David Dennison 18693]

Here for the Ryan Pressly knee freak out.

Here for the Ryan Pressly knee freak out.

It might still be bothering but it’s not a long term problem. Thank God that it’s only a bruise and not the dreaded discomfort.

[Limp Brisket 546]

It’s BR and I’m selectively reading trade articles that fit my idea of an ideal trade scenario.

bregman talking up the recent angels dust up 

[Scraps 13550]

Diekman to the As so mark him off the list

[perfectchaos007 6596]

Wait we traded Tyler White to the Dodgers? Who’d we get in return?

[Scraps 13550]

A Scrubb... har har har

[UTexasFight 9390]

Does it matter?

[runthebone 7933]

4-2 after DFA'ing White.  Just have to weather the storm, as FYPM MBTF used to say.

  

[Limp Brisket 546]

Astros -210 tonight

Maybe it is discomfort

[UTexasFight 9390]

This is why I expect a deal announced re: Kemp any day now.
They had until at least Aug 3 being able to get by with him on the 25 man (with 4 starters and sending Straw down)

That’s an eternity to expect this team not to have another injury.

[Wishbone 4739]

Hmmmm...... this STL pitchers name..... familiar.

Lulz!

[rvm96 1643]

WTF is going on

[Wishbone 4739]

Weird top 1so far.

[Limp Brisket 546]

Don’t care.  Winning.

[Scraps 13550]

Yall keep talkin shit about Correa!!

[Scraps 13550]

This explorer dont want none

[TonyTexas 10485]

Hmmmm...... this STL pitchers name..... familiar.

He’s been around forever. Doesn’t age.

[tx 3 putt 76494]

Good start !

[henrygandorf 29182]

great to see an ab like that from correa.

still very frustrating to see bregs attack a hittable first pitch and produce a routine dp ball.  he needs to start trying to go the other way and forget his crawford box stroke for a few weeks.

[Limp Brisket 546]

Yeah, glad to hear he’s done with the HR derby.

[Wishbone 4739]

Glad to get that bitch out. Hope it continues.

Daniel Punched the Lion, as Dave Barry would say.

[Limp Brisket 546]

Cardinals really cautious about us stealing signs.  It’s like Deebo worrying about us stealing his bike.

[UTexasFight 9390]

[tx 3 putt 76494]

Scraps needs to go buy some lotto tickets !

[YChang 3432]

[Guadaloopy 10929]

Correa obviously needs more recovery time.
