6/30 Brewers (Sheets) vs CUBS (Marshall), 2:55pm, FOX, XM188

[bhogg]

i hope fielder hits one 899 feet.

Who in the hell predicted a 900OPS for Hart? Find me one publication that did.

PECOTA mean projection is an .864 for him. The 75 percentile projection is .904. They project him to be worth $43,450,000 over 2007-2011.

But, that is based off of his first half too, correct? Looking back no one predicted him to be an All-Star level outfielder. Hell a few years ago he was behind Dave Krynzel and the other Corey Hart on their prospect list.

[Magnetic Curses]

this feels like that 99 rockies game.

[Sammy Sofa]

How many runs have the Cubs given up with 2 outs today? 4? 5?

[Sarcastic]

Can we forfeit this game for the sake of the bullpen? I know that it is technically possible for the Cubs to come back, but at this point they might need a rest for their pen more than a slim chance at winning the game.

[otis89]

i don't think braun has made an out against us yet this year.

 

He struck out yesterday late in the game.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Well, at least the Cubs sucked enough today that I won't hang around and waste much more of my Saturday afternoon.

Nope. PECOTA doesn't change as the season goes on. He was projected to be a 20/20 guy with a good OBP in a partial season of play. He actually put up numbers as good as Fielder in the minors, he just didn't get the hype.

wow, what the heck are the brewers feeding their young players?

 

bad pitching

 

These same guys were shut down by good pitchinf yesterday

[Prior4CyYoung]

aight im out this is terrible good luck with this thread.

[Magnetic Curses]

i think the brewers, after yesterday, have decided to stop screwing around.

Or they just get the lucky break of facing Eyre. Teeing off on him really isn't that impressive.

[Magnetic Curses]

the brewers only swing at strikes. they're well trained.

[Sarcastic]

Or maybe they're just facing crappier pitching and getting bettre swings.

[98navigator]

Fielder pops out to DeRosa

 

9-2

[otis89]

Finally. Inning mercifully over.

[JGalt73]

9 outs = 9 hits, 9 runs...

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Finally. Inning mercifully over.

 

there was nothing merciful about that.

Exactly. These guys can be shut down with good pitching. Unfortunately, there hasn't been any today, thus far, from the Cubs.

eyre started the game and gave up 7 over 2?

OK, they faced two crappy pitchers today. As we saw yesterday, good pitching shuts them down, just like anyone else.

[Magnetic Curses]

i seriously don't see a lineup weakness for the brewers right now. possibly when mench starts, but that's it.

marshall pitched exceptionally this year, wouldn't you agree?

As much as he has been good before today, Sean Marshall is not projected to be a front of the rotation starter in the MLB. He is a decent starter who pitched an awful game. That happens. If you were watching him pitch, then you saw that he was unable to get his curveball below the belt for the whole game, and it cost him.

[nilodnayr]

fielder gets one off the end of the bat, high and into a heavy gale and it's off the top of the wall. we have no one on this team capable of something like that.

 

brewers are winning the division, and they deserve it.

Right, if you really believe that guys like Estrada, Hardy, Jenkins, Hart will continue to way outpeform their career numbers. I think they come back to the pack in the second half big time. Hell even Prince Fielder is having a career year.

 

Estrada is actually having a below average year right now, other than his injury plagued 2005 he's been a .770+ OPS catcher. Hart projected as a .900ish OPS player so he could keep it up. Jenkins is doing exactly what would be expected of his 3 year average against righties. Hardy I'll give you though. This team is not playing over its head for the season.

Who in the hell predicted a 900OPS for Hart? Find me one publication that did.

 

His PECOTA 75th percentile is 904. His weighted mean is 870, so yeah, the most accurate projection system predicted it. He did OPS over 800 in the majors and over 900 MLE in the minors last year.
