***OFFICIAL*** 2018 Cakeleeg Thread - 28th round is "touch and go" (2 Viewers)

[General Malaise]

Speaking of minor gases, those wings for lunch may have been a mistake.

Well, since we're all waiting around, where did you go?  What kind of sauce?  How was the waitress?

 

[Capella]

16 Wings? Holy #### 

 

[FishTacoTuesday]

I just fired someone which took 2 fewer hours than it takes for Slowcal to ####### pick. 

 

[FishTacoTuesday]

Wings to go.  It's a #### ### chain, but the good wing place is across town.  16 hot, no fries.  Counter service, no waitresses, but one was a 6 and the other was a tubby 3 @FishTacoTuesday

I’ll take a tubby 6, no threes unless they are a Penn Stater (bad helmet, good uniform). 

 

[Capella]

Is that a lot?  Doesn't seem like a lot.

When I was in college I could do 20-25. 8 is about my fat boy max now. 

 

[General Malaise]

Half-price wing Tuesday at BWW.  I shall order 10, lightly seasoned with Chipotle BBQ dry rub with a side of Asian Zing and maybe Caribbean Jerk.  And, I will wash them down with two Scorpion Bowl IPAs, which are $4.98 this month after 3pm for a tall.  I will spend precisely $20 with tip.  More delighted I could not be for my lunch today.

I ate lunch 4 hours ago. You west coast people are weird. Sounds like a good meal though.

It's only noon here.  I usually eat leftovers for lunch at my desk every day but on Tues. I like to take advantage of the wing deal.  Plus, my wife made vegetable soup last night for supper and screw taking that in for my leftover lunch.  Plus, I'm done by 1:30-2pm every day, so I don't have to wait all that long for lunch today.  I had an apple and some pistachios.  Also walked today as it's a nice, sunny - albeit brisk - day here in Portland, so I will get 5 miles under my sneakers to help offset the calorie bomb that awaits me.  

Sure would like to talk about baseball and not the minutia that is GM's ordinary average guy life.  Look what you've done here, @SoCalBroncoFan

12.08 -- Jake Arrieta, SP Nats or Phils, probably

 

[General Malaise]

What's a little shoulder discomfort in Spring Training anyway for a pitcher...

12.09 Marcus Stroman - SP - TOR  
 

 

[General Malaise]

Don't worry guys, I'll fill in the spreadsheet.

 

[Bogart]

12.07 OF Gregory Polanco/Bucs 

Have been looking at Polanco the last two rounds, but couldn't pull the trigger. Enticed by the "best shape of his life" articles out there.

12.08 -- Jake Arrieta, SP Nats or Phils, probably

Had his name actually typed in before Villar. I'm now not as happy with my pick.

 

[shuke]

I hate when 2 guys you were seriously considering go right after you pick.  

Did I make the right choice??

THE post-hype sleeper of 2018.

Polanco’s ####ty 2017 was already baked into his ADP in the 120s. Getting him two rounds later reduces the overall risk, so I’m cautiously optimistic he can be more like the player he was in 2016.

I had White Castle for dinner last night.  Been farting a lot today

We have now reached the point in the draft where it’s somewhat painful. 

 

[FishTacoTuesday]

Drafting Samarkkhghjfffcgha is only slightly better than clipping the neighbor’s toenails. 

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Shark broke the draft.

 

[Capella]

FDAC  select Archie Bradley CLOSER Arizona

Wow what a great pick guys, keep it going 

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Wow what a great kick guys, keep it going 

Now you just need to collect the other two options!

Not bad at all for a team's 3rd or 4th SP.

Fun Fact: Chris Archer has allowed 37 road homers the past two years. 

 

[General Malaise]

Fun Fact: Chris Archer has allowed 37 road homers the past two years. 

Yeah, but he gets tremendous run support.

 

[Capella]

He uhhhh also struck out 250 guys in less than 200 innings. 

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Cheeeeeeeeeeeese

Huh. That is a fun fact.

Cheese has Slowcal’d Two days in a row now.

No spotlighting. 

 

[FishTacoTuesday]

Fun fact: 

Andrew Benintendi had a .582 OPS and a .054 ISO vs LHP last year. 

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Maverick’s up and ready in alert five.

Nice pairing Slowcal II

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

The money is IN the banana stand.

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Im not trying to be funny but Brad Brach isn’t on my list.  Is it that bad of a pick or is my list that bad?
