9/11 GAME ONE Cubs (Arrieta) @ Phillies (Morgan) 4:05 PM CST, CSN

[ctcf]

uh why is Arrieta staying in?

 

Because it's a DH?

This game's over, I'd feel fine letting Medina go 2. Arrieta's innings need to be limited.

 

look at that man. he is a chiseled, impeccably conditioned specimen of a human. he would take an innings limit and throw it in the blender with his morning smoothie.

 

your concerns are invalid

According to Fangraphs, from the beginning of the 2010 season through this season, Ryan Howard has been worth about $9.9 million.

 

He has been paid almost $120 million in that time.

 

That has to be the largest gap between amount paid and actual value ever right?

What was Mike Hampton worth over the course of his contract?

[Guest]

wow, even at his peak, hampton was like a 6/4 K/BB/9 guy

[ARCubsFan]

I think Kershaw is the Cy Young leader as opposed to Grienke

[Guest]

you guys think rizzo gets to 35 dongs this year?

i kept thinking someone in SF but his damn name wouldn't com eto me

seriously. Christ people were throwing fits for taking Lester out two days ago and now he complains about leaving Arrieta in. Don't overextend him, but there's no harm in running him back out there to at least start the 8th.

I had no problem pulling Lester. It's complete foresight to the people who had a problem with that.

 

you mean hindsight?

No, he obviously meant foresight.

[Derwood]

Rizzo needs to change his contacts before game two. Yeesh

I fortunately can only count a couple of Phillies fans among my friends, but I remember having very, very long conversations with them when the Phillies signed him to the ridiculous and completely pointless extension. With both I assumed they were going to be furious and horrified, but they defended that stupid, stupid deal for years afterwards.

As I've said before, it's remarkable how bad Rizzo can look a lot of the time for a really, really good hitter.

I think most voters have moved on from wins, but that doesn't mean a lot of them look at defensive independent stats yet. In the end, I think Greinke's ERA is just too low for them to take other things into account. And it's hard to blame them, really.

Witha 4 run lead I wouldve liked to see Ramierz in there and see what he's got. Wonder if he regained his velocity

[weis21]

not including tonight's game, Jake has a .91 ERA in the second half

he hasn't. he's toast.

“I’m as good as I’m going to be,” Ramirez said. “I don’t know if that’s full force at this point, but I feel like I can go out there and compete. I feel like I can let it go.”

 

Translation - Toast

well, hopefully only for 2015. I still hold out hope he can come back next year and be Ramirez of 2014

What was Mike Hampton worth over the course of his contract?

 

I think you're looking at being worth around $30 million vs. being paid about $90 million.

Are Freddy Galvis and Andres Blanco the exact same human being?

keep in mind that the going rate on wins back then was less
