Arrieta: "One of my worst warm-ups I've ever had"

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

yay .500

[Little Slide Rooter]

Early indications would have Feldman and Clevenger for Arrieta and Strop as one of the most absurdly one sided deals ever. Dare I say Brock/Broglio one sided?

If it were feasible, I'd want to call up Javy for just this series.

stop talking about dongs, I'm getting ads for astroglide on this page

[Guest]

I'm not one to bitch about modernizing and monetizing Wrigley, but no Len, the giant scoreboard does not make the place more intimate.

 

have you been there?

 

i kinda see where he's coming from

 

Explain this.

Yeah, I'm curious about this too. I'm ok with the board because we're a pro team and revenue is part of the deal, but I don't see how it makes Wrigley 'more intimate'.

It's so [expletive] huge it makes the rest of the park seem small by comparison.

I assume we let OMC continue and take that he spot of the dude who hasn't posted in three months.

Not until we lose, which won't be for a long time.

This is going to get used after all 92 of our regular season victories plus however many in the playoffs this year.

 

No. 1

Cubs won, all you until they lose as far as I'm concerned.

[Guest]

you guys remember bhogg game threads?

 

whatever that was, it needs to become a thing again

 

because nostalgia

[halplm]

You guys probably don't care, but I just did a simple model on the sac bunt with the 5th hitter... Essentially, if you're playing for 1 run only, it's still 25% better to not bunt in that situation. Granted, that's not taking into account the conditions for today, which may have significantly reduced the chance of anyone getting a hit... but that only makes it a wash.

 

It worked out fine today, but that doesn't mean it was a good decision.

 

If it were the 8 or 9 hitter, with today's conditions... then I would get behind it, but if we can't expect our 5 and 6 guys to get hits, we need better 5 and 6 guys.

Calculating it to be 25% better to not bunt in the situation is severely overestimating the run environment, especially at the stadium today.

And that Chris Coghlan probably sucks.

dude is awful in the outfield but in watching him since last year, as a hitter, he always seems to put together good ABs and seems to hit the ball hard pretty consistently. not saying he is good or bad, as I'm not sure, but I don't get the supreme hate.

It's like nuking the whales. Gotta hate somebody, and the 3b spot isn't stable enough to hate any one person.

[Sammy Sofa]

You can't process why people are down on a guy who sucked hard for 4 seasons prior to last year, while lusting after a gigantic video screen.

 

ROBOTS, MAN. You guys are weird.

yeah, down on a guy and SSR hate are vastly different, dummy

 

i'm down on him...i think

 

SSR is reaching Arrieta and CarGo 2.0 levels of hate.
