[UMFan83]

Izzy justifies his playing time with a missed sign

[98navigator]

I think Izturis missed a sign

[ConstableRabbit]

[RegulusBlue]

I hate Lou.

 

YOU SUCK YOU [expletive]. STOP WASTING OUTS YOU WORTHLESS SACK OF CASH.

[Brian]

and Izturis gets a hit, figures.

[98navigator]

Izzy doubles

[Chocolate Milk]

That had to have been a blown hit and run.

 

didnt it.

 

That's what Ronny said. He is an old man though. He could just be crazy.

[BigSlick]

Thanks Derosa.

 

That could have been a run right there.

[RichHillIsABeast]

Good work, Izzy.

[RegulusBlue]

You'd hate to have a runner on there.

 

I hate you, Lou.

[Brian]

definitely safe on the steal.

[98navigator]

DeRosa was safe

[RichHillIsABeast]

Thanks Derosa.

 

That could have been a run right there.

 

Don't blame DeRosa for getting jobbed on a CS call.

[Brian]

Z pulling a jock there

[illiniguy]

just swing at everything Z. :x

[BigSlick]

Thanks Derosa.

 

That could have been a run right there.

 

Don't blame DeRosa for getting jobbed on a CS call.

 

Why are we runing with DeRosa anyway?

 

The whole thing is stupid.

[TruffleShuffle]

this game has all the marks of a cub performance... more LOB, fly balls to the warning track, running their way out of runs...

[98navigator]

Z out 4-3

 

2 down

[Banedon]

But the catching half of "pitch and catch" surely must have some minimal affect on the other half.

 

I disagree.

 

Bill James looked for evidence that catchers have measurable impact on pitchers' ERA, and he looked for many years. He found none. However, absence of evidence is not evidence to the contrary.

 

It very well may be that there is a cause-effect relationship in isolated cases that is swamped by noise when averaged over all catchers, hence unmeasurable.

 

Which means it's essentially an opinon issue. Therefore those that don't believe if that relationship being meaningful are not "kidding themselves".

[Brian]

drive him in Sori

[Soriano12]

Derosa is worhtless

[Chocolate Milk]

HR plz.

[98navigator]

[Brian]
