Holy crap did Gonzalez annihilate that ball in the ninth.

Cargo is just so so so so so so good

 

That ball was as scorched as you'll ever see

marshall is a pretty terrible option in coors - he relies heavily on his breaking stuff and those types don't do well in the thin air. that being said, i'm glad they put him in so that the cubs could lose. schlitter would've worked too, because he's awful.

 

gonzalez is pretty good, but have you seen that bb/k ratio? 18 bb, 94 k. yuck.

I could care less about a bb/k ratio on a guy hitting .321/.350/.554, 130 OPS+, 21 HR, 68 RBI, 15 SB and a Gold Glove caliber defense.

 

His home/road splits are simply atrocious though.

I could not care less. = I couldn't care less.

one probably should care, since some of that value is tied up in the high batting average, and unless he plans on keeping up a .374 babip forever, he's not going to keep hitting over .300 (and if he doesn't start walking, he'll have a soriano-like line with an average obp.)
