If there's one thing Cubs fans would never do, it's complain about highly paid underperforming corner outfielders

The low rumbling you hear is hundreds of low-A and rookie ball players scouring their social media for offensive posts to delete

Hamels is clearly not anywhere near what he used to be but I'm still OK with him being a game 4 starter over Chatwood, Montgomery, or anyone on short rest. Going from the 6th worst team in defensive efficiency to the 5th best and switching leagues will probably smooth out that .296 BABIP as well.

N: Eddie Butler was the PBTNL for the Cubs in the Hamels deal V: Giving up MLB talent for a Hamels rental... I guess this is fine since the roster needed someone freed up on the 25 man?

I don't blame the Nats for looking to make a bundle off of a panic buying GM in the last 18 hours but holy moly it's hard to think of a team that blew their championship window any harder in the post-Wild Card era.

Blow up that stadium too, they're 3-8 in home playoff games, they've lost all 3 LDS Game 5s at home and the one time they didn't push a series to 5 games they lost it on the road because they lost games 1 and 2 at home

Kirios posted:Considering how they have the best player since Barry Bonds you have to throw the Angels into the mix. They're about to lose Mike Trout in a couple of years and they have won zero playoff games with him. You can fault the Angels for failing to build around a generational talent but I don't really consider one playoff appearance as a window. It's pretty interesting how teams have done in the post wild card expansion era: The Champions Giants: 2 Wild Card wins, 2 LDS wins, 2 LCS wins, 2 World Series wins, 1 LDS loss, 8-1 Royals: 1 Wild Card win, 2 LDS wins, 2 LCS wins, 1 World Series win, 1 World Series loss, 6-1 Cubs: 1 Wild Card win, 3 LDS wins, 1 LCS win, 1 World Series win, 2 LCS losses, 6-2 Astros: 1 Wild Card win, 1 LDS win, 1 LCS win, 1 World Series win, 1 LDS loss, 4-1 Red Sox: 1 LDS win, 1 LCS win, 1 World Series win, 1 LDS loss, 3-1 The Almost-Got-Theres Cardinals: 1 Wild Card win, 3 LDS wins, 1 LCS win, 1 LDS loss, 2 LCS losses, 1 World Series loss, 5-4 Dodgers: 3 LDS wins, 1 LCS win, 2 LDS losses, 2 LDS losses, 1 World Series loss, 4-5 Tigers: 2 LDS wins, 1 LCS win, 1 LDS loss, 1 LDS loss, 1 World Series loss, 3-3 Mets: 1 LDS win, 1 LCS win, 1 Wild Card loss, 1 World Series loss, 2-2 Indians: 1 LDS win, 1 LCS win, 1 Wild Card loss, 1 LCS loss, 1 World Series loss, 2-3 The On-the-Doorsteps Blue Jays: 1 Wild Card win, 2 LDS wins, 2 LCS losses, 3-2 Yankees: 1 Wild Card win, 2 LDS wins, 1 Wild Card loss, 2 LCS losses, 3-3 Orioles: 1 Wild Card win, 1 LDS win, 1 Wild Card loss, 1 LDS loss, 1 LCS loss, 2-3 The Well-At-Least-We-Won-The-Play-Ins Diamondbacks: 1 Wild Card win, 1 LDS loss, 1-1 Rays: 1 Wild Card win, 1 LDS loss, 1-1 Pirates: 1 Wild Card win, 2 Wild Card losses, 1 LDS loss, 1-3 The 0-Fors Rockies: 1 Wild Card loss Twins: 1 Wild Card loss Angels: 1 LDS loss Braves: 1 Wild Card loss, 1 LDS loss Reds: 1 Wild Card loss, 1 LDS loss Athletics: 1 Wild Card loss, 1 LDS loss Rangers: 1 Wild Card loss, 2 LDS losses Nationals: 4 LDS losses Of those I'd say that Texas and Washington are the biggest misses when it comes to playoff windows in this decade.

Yeah I forgot the ones that haven't made it yet: Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Miami, San Diego, the White Sox and Seattle - though I think 3 of those could probably break their droughts this year. Kind of amazing that 24 out of the 30 teams have at least made a wild card game in the last 6 seasons.iospace posted:
Yeah this is post-expansion to 10 teams in the playoffs.

I think that on paper the 2019 Nats are the second or third best team in the NL East and that position is incredibly fragile/based around the health of the 265 million dollars they have committed to two players

Matt Harvey is a Cy Young caliber pitcher today if he doesn't go out there in the 9th inning of Game 5 in 2015, who disputes this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gw85aXy2HRg&t=9705s They may not have won the series but I am 10000% convinced this half inning broke Harvey permanently and it was entirely his fault for overriding Collins CubsWoo fucked around with this message at 19:39 on Jul 31, 2018 |

Cubs send Jhon Romero to the Nats for Kintzler, a high-A pitcher who may or may not make you his btich.
