holy stuff

49-80

 

 

holy stuff

 

With 33 games left, the 100 L prophecy will be a difficult to fulfill, but I'm confident in this team's lack of ability. With 6 vs. the Astros, 3 vs. the Rockies, and 3 vs. the D Backs, and all above .500 teams the rest of the way( Cards, Pirates, Reds, Giants, Nats), we can do it.

You crazy, man. You funny guy!

[sneakypower]

Brewers kind of bailed out Castro on that triple

 

would have liked to see Jackson against Marcum, he's been really strong against changeups

 

edit: nevermind the jesus is in left so i am content

[bukie]

.197 average, .321 on-base percentage for an IsoD somewhere between hilarious and impossible.

[sneakypower]

and then that happened

[davell]

I guess we'll have a weighted competition next year between Wood, Rusin, and Raley for one rotation spot, unless we move Wood in a deal that helps us upgrade something.

[Epsteenie]

I've never seen so many titanic blasts in one series before. Lucroy and Braun's were both bombs.

[Sammy Sofa]

Jackson with a double to go with a walk and strikeout so far today.

[sneakypower]

how did Vitters not score on that?

[Sammy Sofa]

I really like DeJesus.

[Sammy Sofa]

No kidding; they would to have had thrown a perfect bullet to nail him at the plate and he was already a good 10-15 feet past the bag when Aoki was just getting the ball in his hand.

[Epsteenie]

I really like DeJesus.

 

So do Len and Bob. They're practically gushing right now.

[Sammy Sofa]

So Castro's now walked 11 times this month (Len said the most he's walked in a month before this one is 6), and his OBP was back up to .310 going in to this last PA.

[sneakypower]

6 BB in 5-1/3, this is Theo's offense, wearing out pitchers without remorse

[Ding Dong Johnson]

6 BB in 5-1/3, this is Theo's offense, wearing out pitchers without remorse

Take that, Rudy.

[Sammy Sofa]

Come on, Rizzo; let's see something sexy.

 

BAH.

So Castro's now walked 11 times this month (Len said the most he's walked in a month before this one is 6), and his OBP was back up to .310 going in to this last PA.

recall, he had 6 BB in his first 72 games (312 PA)

 

do not miss Rudy

Very, very happy with what we're seeing from him now.

 

Time for some Beef.

Also, his O-swing % for August just went below the league average. That would be the first time in his career that is the case.

[Sammy Sofa]

How many GS do the Cubs have this year? Just DeJesus'?

[Sammy Sofa]

Yessssss. So much delicious patience.

[Sammy Sofa]

JACKSONNNNNNNNNNN!!!!

[sneakypower]
