I know it's cliche and generalization, but Detroit's just a better team than us. I don't know how much discussion there is even to be had about this series. They've kicked our ass so far.

We are dead last in baseball in OPS. It doesn't take much to be better than us right now.

 

It's not just the offense man. Their bullpen is so much better than ours. Their bench is better than ours. Their manager is better than ours. Their team defense is better than ours. And before someone says I'm being overly negative - what really irks me, and I assume everyone else as well, is how much we've fallen from last year. This is just the epitome of frustration. I dont get it. We should be better.

I don't really think they've kicked the Cubs butt. They are a little better, yes, but they aren't Boston.

 

They are the best of a weak division.

I don't know about that. Up to this point, maybe, but going forward I think Detroit's a very dangerous team. They don't have the incredible pitching depth that Boston does, but I certainly think they can hang with them in a seven game series.

I see we suck still. Have we left a ton of guys on base again this game or just overall suckage from everyone?

Not with RISP. Which is arguably all that matters.

They've outscored us 15-11 in the series and we were a Kevin Gregg meatball from winning a game in the series. I wouldn't say they've kicked our asses. The key is we can't win on the road 13-22 if we drop this one.

We score one, they score two. Rinse, repeat.

Losing Ramirez really hurt.

Not trying to argue just for the hell of it, but I've really been impressed by Detroit this series. Yea, Gregg blew that game - but it was Leyland's move that put them in the situation for that HR. He didn't have to PH in that spot. Their bullpen is what really impresses me. They're going to be near impossible to beat if they have late leads if they keep this up or even improve on it in the second half. They steal bases, they hit for power, they do everything depending on what's needed in the context at the given time. They're adaptable. And that's the key word, adaptable. The cubs are as rigid as a baseball team could possibly be.

It hurt but we didnt lose Albert Pujols. Noway should losing Aram hurt like it has. Not on a team with a 130 million payroll

Not with RISP. Which is arguably all that matters.

 

so home runs doubles and triples without RISP don't matter? Fukudomes runscoring triple doesn't matter? Hitting with RISP is very important but not important enough to say "were dead last in ops" and not add "with risp".

More than anything I was just trying to clarify that we're dead last in OPS with RISP, not in general OPS. Not gonna debate that triples aren't valuable or whatever, as that wasn't my point.

Awesome we are better than the teams that don't even try to win. Way to go Jim.

Does Soriano currently have the worst contract in baseball?

 

dontrelle Willis is pretty bad but he doesn't have 5.5 years left on his so yeah. Barry zitos is pretty bad too.

Vernon Wells has to be in there somewhere too.
