Random Cubs Musings: Minor League Edition

[A New Era]

I'm still waiting for that "something else" he supposedly had and will supposedly post it today. Hasn't yet. . .

Yeah, the girl who cut my hair the other day didn't know what Magnum PI was and then I realized that she wasn't even close to alive in the 80's.

 

I was talking to a woman on a dating site who was on the low end of my 1/2age+7 rule and she wasn't even born when Seinfeld season 2 was running. That's when I noped out of dating sites.

You aren't 36 yet, are you?

[Guest]

Lol I love how the little [expletive] even tried to leave himself a way out. Kyle you suck and your opinions are like sweetchuck from the police academy movies.

 

I haven't seen those. Was he a guy who was right all the time? Because I was dead right in every one of those posts.

You know I'm just giving you [expletive], kyle.

 

I was just thinking about how dated we are all getting. The NSBB demographic fits a pretty narrow band.

Pics?

Hot.

I'm 32. People born the after the second season of Seinfeld finished would be no older than 23.

You're looking to get laid, not find a life partner. I'd never want to go through what you are having to go through because of your whore ex wife. But if I was, I'd be looking to bang as many 20 year olds as my dick could handle.

Just submitted a piece for editing I think you all will enjoy. Once it's posted, I'll tweet it out.

although I could see Castillo being replaced in the offseason.

 

I've been thinking this, too. I know going the season we expected some progression with him, and we even got it early in the season when him, Castro, and Rizzo were all jiving together for a couple of weeks that first month, but since then he's been pretty abysmal at the plate. On May 1st his batting line was .300/.349/.525/.874 and since then he's been .207/.263/.314/.577. That's a whole lot of suck. Do they stay patent with him and try and let him put it together or try and grab someone in trade? The FA crop is pretty bad:

 

John Buck

Ryan Doumit

Nick Hundley *

Gerald Laird

Russell Martin

Jeff Mathis *

Wil Nieves

Miguel Olivo

Ronny Paulino

A.J. Pierzynski

David Ross

Geovany Soto

Kurt Suzuki

 

I've been wondering how attached Seattle is to Mike Zunino, though that was back when Seattle was a possible destination for Samardzija or Hammel. Not sure if we have anything that could pry him away that the Cubs would be willing to move (I wouldn't move one of our big prospects for him). But regardless of that idle speculation, I was curious what you, or others, might think would be a reasonable target to replace Castillo if they do intend to replace him. I think that might be one of the offseason storylines not a lot of people will expect and/or be excited about, but would be kind of an important decision.

 

Also I imagine a lot of that depends on if they decide to let Schwarber stick at catcher long term, given the positive early reports on his ability there.

Mislabeled - Javy's K Rate

 

 

Javy's BB Rate

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

k, those graphs are confusing the hell out of me, and I don't have a hangover excuse.

[Guest]

k, those graphs are confusing the hell out of me.

 

The K rate one is mislabeled. Looks like he just forgot to change that part.

 

The T20 means last 20 games.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

what the hell are the numbers on the x axis

[Guest]

what the hell are the numbers on the x axis

 

Just the amount of games all bunched together, he skip 4 games each time.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

jesus, I think I need to take a remedial math course at CRC

[Guest]

Nah, it's weird looking

[CubInOK]

I'd like to see Javy's walk rate get back up to 25%, but not have that ugly 60% K rate go with it.

Here's Javy's last calendar month in non-graph form:
