5/18 Brewers (Estrada) @ Cubs (Wood) 1:20 PM WGN

[Hairyducked Idiot]

more importantly, what's with people reading kyle's posts and responding to them

 

Not only that, blatantly trolling for me to respond.

seriously though...the possibility of having two other guys come up who are around as filthy as rondon and ramirez is just nasty.

 

yeah it's just the [expletive] bullpen, but god damn.

[sneakypower]

for the past month, the Cubs bullpen is 2nd in the NL for fWAR

 

Rondon, Ramirez, Schlitter & Wright all have 10+ appearances with FIPs of 2.28 or better (of the four, only Schlitter is in the twos)

 

it's fair to say it's come together and is serving as a clear strength of the team right now

Travis Wood is bad.

Maybe not bad but his ERA- is 123 and his xFIP- is 109. Certainly below league average.

BTW I am formerly "MrWood". Had you chosen to acknowledge the context, my point was more that pitching is dominant this year, and numbers that I used to view as impressive, are now the norm. Maybe its just me, but I had adjusted my expectations on hitters, but was still subconsciously impressed with an ERA in the mid 4's and an xFIP of around 4. Maybe everyone else already knew this, but it just struck me yesterday.

 

Pitchers are dominating. Change "Travis Wood is bad" to "Travis Wood is slightly below average, and much less impressive than I had thought" if it makes you feel better.

 

I would have responded quicker, but the effort to change my username made my account "inactive" for awhile.

 

Great performance by Wood. I hope he keeps it up. That doesn't change the fact that he's slightly to significantly below average on the year.

 

You know, we could have just renamed your Mr. Wood account rather than you create a new account.

I sent Tim a pm asking for exactly that.

Sorry... I'm in the road this week and don't have much time online.
