Can you cremate my mind?
OK A-holes. It's fixed. Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them. I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

If 162 games divided out into innings, we're currently in the bottom of the second.
The Cubs are going to win the fucking World Serious, and when they do, I want you to remember the self-defecation you wallowed in on May Fucking Eighth.

I admit it: I'm too tired to find the complementary thread. Did anyone else catch the medical-marijuana ad on the Friday radio broadcast?

Bump for 7 shutout innings and the game winning RBI.
Last two starts combined: 13IP 1ER 8BB 9K, WHIP of 1.077
That'll do for your 5.
I'd rather have a guy who doesn't walk 8 in 13 innings, so let's not hand him the Fifth Starter Cy Young just yet.
I'm not jewish but 1000X this. Sour cream on latkes is the only way to go. Apple sauce can lick my taint.

It's good, but the number of announced upcoming films really takes away any emotional heft at the end.
But massive kudos for making a story with this many characters not just comprehensible, but fun.
Aside: Middle Murton and I did a double feature with Black Panther first, then Infinity War immediately after. Very glad we did that given how much of the movie takes place in Wauconda. I think even Al Salvi had a bit part.
You are so Illinois it hurts.
Bolding "Al Salvi" would have illustrated the point more. Fucking Christ I hadn't thought of that guy in years

I was just browsing, with my hand down my shorts, through Cubs stats on Fangraphs, when I noticed that BMIaez has a BABIP of just .292. Considering that he currently leads the team in WAR ahead of give guys who all have a BABIP of over .350, that's pretty remarkable.
However, I then notice that not only is Javy's BABIP .292, but his BA is also .292. I tried to think about what exactly that means, but it made my brain hurt, so... paging statnherds?
BA is .299 and BABIP is .308. Internet is slow in Australia
Speaking of stats (cue Yeti), he's got 24 RBI which is leading the NL. That's kinda fun. 24 before April is over decent.
With what, 4 missed games due to weather?
He is currently on pace to best Hack Wilson's 1930 all-time MLB record of 191 RBI with 195 (he's also on pace to finish with one more homer than Hack had, 57 to 56).
The only logical conclusion is this is 100% what is going to happen
Look at Hack's age 26-32 seasons.
Year PA AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI SB BB SO BA OBP SLG OPS OPS+
1926-1932 4257 3635 729 1160 222 49 213 892 36 514 546 .319 .406 .583 .989 153
Average 608 519 104 166 32 7 30 127 5 73 78 303
per 162 games 699 597 120 191 37 9 35 147 6 85 90 348
Great presentation of numbers. Good thing you're not in banking or anything.

The day Murton's first son spurns Iowa for Indiana (the Harvard of Monroe County), Kyle Schwarber pours salt in the wound with two home runs.

I'm less concerned about the spurning than I am about the 20% more in cost.
Not helping to kill the stereotype here.
