Sure. But people who make those decisions aren't going to take a first baseman who used to play outfield not very well when they can pick from actual outfielders playing the position regularly, and fans are sure as hell not going to write him in for an outfield spot in the voting.

That homerun derby last night was absolutely amazing.

The one player from the Cubs might be the one who costs the NL this game haha.

I think it's safe to say it's not their year. I loved that Kris Bryant, who's the face of Cubs Nation, was handily beaten out in the final vote by El Rojo Chingon who plays in a fairweather sports town, according to some Cubs fans *cough*DMBZeppelin*cough*

Padres asked the Dodgers for top prospect Alex Verdugo in trade discussions for Brad Hand.
If the Dodgers' season comes down to whether they want Luis Avilan or Brad Hand to face Jake Lamb with the bases loaded in the sixth or something, then sure. But otherwise, the story with this team falling in love with others' relievers is that it ends in heartbreak.

Seager is just a liability at shortstop. I can see him fucking up in an important game. They have to move him to first base or the outfield to minimize his bobbling ground balls.

If only Hector Sanchez was on either the 2010 Phillies, 2012 Cardinals, or 2014 Cardinals teams...

Puig's in the lineup tonight against Trump supporter Madison Bumgarner. Fight imminent.

I saw Mofo with the last post in here and thought for sure it'd be a post about the Angels blowing a 10-4 lead in the 9th.

Damn. I can't recall a worse meltdown in their history since that infamous game where they blew an 8-run lead against Bartolo Colon and the Indians and then Mo Vaughn stayed in the dugout while both benches cleared after Troy Percival plunked David Justice with a pitch and Justice charged the mound, and Terry Collins re-signed two days later. People forget what a shitshow that franchise was before 2002.

So that catch Austin Jackson made was actually really amazing. Kurkijan said that it was a harder catch than the Willie Mays catch in terms of difficulty.
Also, what is going on with the Cardinals? Seems like they got shit going on in the clubhouse.

Cowherd tried to say that it shouldve been a homer because he leaped over the wall until a fan called in and mentioned momentum.
I like Cowherd for the most part, but damn can he be a jackass sometimes.
Re: The Official 2017 MLB Season ramblings and De Facto Cubs Masturbatory Thread
I'm really not the biggest fan of Cowherd. He's an arrogant prick.
