8/13: Gm1 Cubs (Marquis) @ Braves (Morton) 12:10p CDT WGN

[Banedon]

Was Soto's fly too shallow to score Derosa?

[Choonch]

Give Edmonds a one year deal next year. I want him on this team.

 

pass. He's Gary Gaetti 2008

 

Disagree, I don't recall Gaetti playing this well in '98. While I think it's foolish to get too caught up in what Edmonds is doing...it's not completely out of the question to think about bringing him back.

You guys would never leave the casino when you're ahead...

I too have had those feelings. However, it's not that similar to the Gaetti situation in that Gaetti was never good and was playing out of his mind. While I didn't expect this performance from Edmonds, he's a borderline hall of famer who has put together a good season.

 

I'm not advocating resigning him, but there are some conditions under which I would like to see him back

 

I think "Borderline HOF'er" is pushing it, but he's had a very good career.

154 OPS+ in 128 AB for us in 98

 

I don't think he's Gaetti either but the guy put up some numbers.

Gaetti put up a 154 OPS+ with the Cubs that year...

 

.320 .397 .594

In 128 ABs.

[Banedon]

Scary...Gaetti and Edmonds with the same OPS+ with the Cubs in the year they were traded. Both had played for the Cards the year before.

[David]

128 ABs or 170 something, you're still talking a small sample size.

[jersey cubs fan]

Was that fly ball not deep enough to score DeRosa?

 

not a chance.

 

Theriot with an f-bomb after striking out. You can hear every conversation in the stadium right now - unfortunately that includes the horrible Atlanta announcers.

[Hall7810]

Seems like Jason has that sinker working.

110+ WARP3, 132 OPS+ from a CF... I'd say it's borderline.

Just judging from reading lips, it seems like Theriot drops a lot of F-bombs.

Rap corrupts impressionable minds.

[CubmanPi]

Tomahawk Chop time!! Off to the baseball pet peeves thread...

[BCVM22]

Two guys with two-strike counts and Marquis can't put them away.

Thats OK, Chipper doesn't absolutely murder Marquis over his career :(

[PrimeTime]

Of course Bob jinx it by saying Marquis has been staying out of tge big inning

[wekse]

marquis the worst ever at finishing an inning....now he'll give up 3 or 4.

[CubmanPi]

Of course Bob jinx it by saying Marquis has been staying out of tge big inning

And then by showing how chipper is unclutch with 2 out and risp

[ConstableRabbit]

Gamecast making it look like J-Marq is getting squeezed

[bcl412]
