4/6 Arizona (Galarraga) @ Chicago (Dempster) 1:20PM WGN

Yes, because the only options are thinking it's potentially the worst defensive play I'll see all year or "being proud of it," whatever the [expletive] that means.

 

Because that's not what I said. I said I will have watched a lot of baseball this year before I see another defensive play that pathetic. I've already watched a lot of baseball this year. Where you came up with ALL YEAR is why you should probably not respond. Reading comprehension can be a good thing.

 

Please go away.

[Tryptamine]

Well that's about the worst swing you'll see Castro take.

I hate to step into the tussle here, but this is a ridiculously worthless semantic argument. You should both just stop. :)

[Sammy Sofa]

Yeesh. That was not what I was expecting.

[Yeti]

I have a feeling I will have watched a whole lot of baseball this year before I see another defensive gaff as bad as that one.

 

Yeesh!

 

Really? It was a guy missing a diving catch and then someone else bobbling the ball.

 

Well why don't you nominate it for play of the year if you're so proud of it. It was brutal defensive play. I'm sorry you disagree. :roll:

i'm just glad that i was looking at the pistol i was cleaning instead of the tv when that play was going on

Guns and Cubs games don't mix. You're playing with fire.

[Sammy Sofa]

"Cubs ace Ryan Dempster."

 

Don't ever say that again, Len.

what in the world are you going on about

[Rob]

I'm pretty sure he'd OPS a good 100 points higher over a full-season.

 

And be between 10 and 20 runs worse in the field.

 

Doubtful.

 

DeWitt is a 3rd baseman playing a position higher up on the defensive spectrum and getting awful reviews from all involved.

 

Barney is a defense-oriented shortstop playing down the defensive spectrum and getting great reviews.

 

What am I missing?

 

Hmm that's true, but the fact still remains that Barney should not be on an MLB roster. 100 points of OPS is a pretty shallow estimate.

 

And you think .100 points of OPS so easily covers the potential two win difference on defense that it's a great injustice to play Barney over DeWitt?

 

It's pretty likely all three options suck equally. Nobody is getting screwed out of playing time they deserve.

"Cubs ace Ryan Dempster."

 

Don't ever say that again, Len.

 

Hahahahahahahahaha

[imb]

honestly, i'd rather have a poor-hitting, good defensive second baseman than DeWitt, just on a purely aesthetic level. It's easier for me to deal with a lot of weak ground outs and pop ups than the occasional Uggla in the field. But that's my cross to carry.

[Sammy Sofa]

I really like having Dempster on the team, but man, if he's actually your ace then you're in trouble.

Personally, I'm of the "ride the hot hand" mindset. But I'd probably default to the glove guy if all of them are cold, pretty much for the reason you stated.

what in the world are you going on about

 

It's pretty simple. That was a really, really bad defensive play even if Nuts and Gum disagrees.

Please stop lying.

 

And go away.

He never said that. You sound stupid.

I'd still count Z as the Cubs best starter, but I don't know if they have an "ace."

 

ARAMIS!

[Sammy Sofa]

RAMMY!!!

[Rob]

Bout time he snuck one out.

[imb]

Fan totally reached over the basket.

[Guest]

That was a laser.

[ctcf]

Yes

[haubrich91]

Arama-bomb! Kinda...

[inari]

I hate Chris Young.
