Is Darwin Barney the Brendan Ryan of 2B? Defensive metrics are in love with him.

 

The shifts aren't hurting. I remember recently reading (on here) that some metric has he and Castro as the top two rated fielders in the game this year.

No real surprise, he was always thought of as a strong defender at SS, and he profiles even better at 2B.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 8-21 when they GIDP.... 8-11 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Are the defensive metrics still friendly to Soriano this season? Because he's looked really good this year

[El Duderino]

He's 6th in UZR among all OF.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

This really is going to be just like 2001. Horrific May losing streak, followed by a winning streak of the same length+50%.

[Guest]

Sori!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 11-4 when they lead at the end of the 6th inning.... 5-28 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[weis21]

Soriano!!

[MWV]

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Alfonso Soriano show.

[Fred Hornkohl]

The reports of Soriano's demise have been greatly exaggerated.

 

CUBS are 9-14 when they hit a HR.... 7-18 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Soriano's annual 3 week offensive explosion is always fun to watch

[Little Slide Rooter]

Damn, Shark with 68 pitches through 6 full innings. He seems to be doing an awful lot of this type of thing. I know that the A word is one that shouldn't be used loosely for pitchers, but [expletive] if he isn't looking the part. And he downs Yonder Alonso on 3 pitches as I finish typing that last sentence.

[MWV]

So maybe don't pitch to Quentin? Christ.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Samardzija with a nifty 68 pitches through 6 innings.

 

CUBS are 14-16 when their pitchers average 16 pitches per inning or less.... 2-16 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Little Slide Rooter]

Soriano's annual 3 week offensive explosion is always fun to watch

 

One day, we'll manage to trade him mid expolosion.

[El Duderino]

stop throwing this clown first pitch fastballs

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 7-4 when they allow fewer than 3 walks.... 9-27 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!
