9/22 - Pirates (Duke) vs. Cubs (Hill) - WGN - 12:05

I'm not talking about players in general though, I'm talking about one player. So yes, when you have one player who's been at the same level for four years, it's a perfectly fine sample size.

 

You don't need to look at 100 years worth of data to find something out about one guy.

 

There you go, Jacque.

 

Edit: Jacque? Wow, not sure where that came from.

 

 

This is completely your opinion and miles and miles away from being fact.

[Mizzou]

hill has only thrown 74 pitches and really settled in the last 3 innings... stupid lou

Agreed, there's no reason to take him out right now unless he asked to be removed.

[CubmanPi]

What are the fans chanting?

[David]

The day is done for Hill.

 

I'd have let him go one more, but that's just me.

 

I would have to, but I can understand Lou's thinking here.

 

You're gonna have to explain it to me.

 

Keep him fresh for the playoffs?? Dunno.

Torres:

 

No hitting anyone in the head today. Thanks.

 

Sincerely,

 

Cubs fans.

[E.J.]

Torres is taking an hour in-between pitches. Throw the ball already.

[Bruno7481]

Remember his last start when it was obvious something was bothering his leg. Maybe this has something to do with that and they are just being cautious.

He's got a runner on base, so he wants to use a hitter to try to pile some more on. Furthermore, it's down the stretch. He can use Marmol, Wood, Howry, and Dempster to end the game.

 

I would have conserved the pen, but I know what Lou is wanting to do here.

[Bruno7481]

The home plate umpire really thinks he is the show here this afternoon.

How? If you know that Ramirez was good with RISP in 2004, good with RISP in 2005, good with RISP in 2006, and good with RISP in 2007, you're telling me that you can't logically conclude that he'll be good with RISP in 2008?

[UMFan83]

The ump looks like Soda Popinski throwing a left hook when he rings up a batter.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Ryan steals second!

[E.J.]

Stolen base for the Riot. Come on Fonzie, knock him in.

[CubmanPi]

Riot takes second, looked really close.

[TruffleShuffle]

hey i'm pretty sure that hill could've gone up there and struck out

Awesome comparison. :lol:

 

I love that game.

While I do agree with that statement (we can't logically conclude that at all), what I'm really telling you is that you can't just arbitrarily conclude what a good sample size is.

BOOM!
