7/1 Cubs (Wells) @ Pirates (Vasquez) 6:05, CSN

See? This is what I'm referring to in the two other threads I posted in. We're borderline moronic as far as the fundamentals go, and once again, Brenly notices it and gripes about it. We have to be the worst baserunning team in baseball.

 

This seems to be a common trend that we've had problems with for many years. Remember how much fun it was to watch Moises Alou on the basepaths?

Yay. Let's not waste this.

Pathetic!!

*Airmails cutoff man, catcher, pitcher backing up catcher, first ten rows of the stands*

[DiamondMind]

And there's another example of the unquantifiable benefits of good fundamentals/aggressiveness. Pitcher is annoyed by Fuld at 1B, and commits an error on the pickoff.

Alou's arm was NOT that good. I thought I remember him being in the territory of Juan Pierre noodle-itude.

 

 

AND YAY FOR HITS

[Roast]

Hah, double play. Figures.

[DiamondMind]

We all knew that DP was coming.

[Little Slide Rooter]

whatever.

He habitually hit the backstop and the net behind home plate on throws home.

you're a web bot aren't you?

[JimSorgi]

I bet Brenly noticed how bad that double play was.

[DiamondMind]

Can we hire the most interesting man in the world from Dos Equis to play CF?

so wait, now it's good to be aggressive? That's all Lou was doing with bradley? Now what would have happened if fuld ran and was thrown out?

No, web bots provide more substance to their respective forum.

Huh, my brain must be trying to block those memories out.

Which means it's impossible to prove either way the effect Fuld had on the pitcher.

Of course it's good to run the bases aggressively. When have I suggested otherwise? Of course I don't mean stupid-aggressive like Soto at 3B last night, but yea.

[DiamondMind]

Nice play Foxy

[Roast]

When have I suggested otherwise?

Literally 10 minutes ago when bradley was going on contact to be "aggressive"

[Outshined_One]

Strangely decent play by Fox there, although I was worried he'd chuck the ball into RF.

Take this stat for what you will:

 

Outs recorded on the basepaths 2009 (doesn't count caught stealing or pickoffs):

 

Brewers: 20

Cards: 22

Cubs: 22

Astros: 24

Reds: 33

Pirates: 33

 

By that stat, the Cubs aren't the worst baserunning team in their division this year, much less the worst in the majors.
