    Swanson spent his off-season playing soccer. My guess is he's going to show up in great shape.

    Saw a picture of Adam Duvall the other day. IMO he is definitely not a candidate for BSOML

    I dunno... the Athletic article on King Felix makes it sound like he's right there for the BSOML headline too. The healthiest and most fit he's been in 2 years apparently.

    There is the same chance that you or I would be successful as the fifth starter as Felix being successful as the fifth starter.

    His arm is gelatin.

    Guess that's the only way he gets to play with girl friend!
    Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
    And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;......

    And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod
    The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
    Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

    What cracked me up about it is that he didn't change his routine at all. Said he ate a bit better and that was it.

    You might be overestimating 5th starters. You can be pretty bad and be a "successful" 5th starter. If he eats some innings, fills in for an injury, and takes a bit of stress of young arms, he'll be a success.

    His arm wasn't hurt last year. It was a leg/quad problem he tried to pitch through. Betting he'll win more games than Hamels this year.

    They made it up to save face. It sounded better on the injury report than "inability to pitch." Which is his real problem.

    Let's make a leave the board bet. Hamels wins more than Felix and Enscheff leaves the board.

He's made some asinine (no cringe worthy) statements on twitter and now he's trying to pin the decision solely on his voting choices which is inaccurate.

    of course the clown tries to pin it on his political beliefs and not the fact that he's joked about rape on twitter (among other gross things). and of course he calls it "locker room humor." i've been in locker rooms my entire life and never heard ONE guy joke about rape. talk about women? sure. joke about rape, or grabbing women by their vaginas? na. most dudes i know wouldn't hear that.
