October is here and I have playoff tickets in hand. Am I dreaming? If so, don't wake me up for a while.

I really want something stupid like David Ross leading off and playing somewhere other than C or 1B. I know it won't happen, but I want it.

Here's a fun guessing game, folks. Who are these two?

 

Pitcher A - 73.1 IP, 4.17 ERA, 5.20 FIP, 1.6 HR/9, 2.9 BB/9, 6.6 K/9

Pitcher B - 52.1 IP, 4.30 ERA, 4.80 FIP, 1.7 HR/9, 2.1 BB/9, 7.1 K/9

Is one Hammel's 2nd half line and the other Cueto's??? Just a guess for relevancy to the game

[JonJayCutler]

Ah yes, the dugout dice.

[ctcf]

Come on, you guys.

[sneakypower]

holy [expletive], Cueto & Kazmir...

 

Kazmir: (1-6) 11GS, 58-2/3 IP, 5.22 ERA, 1.57 WHIP

Cueto: (3-7) 11 GS, 70-1/3 IP, 4.99 ERA, 1.41 WHIP

HAREN: (3-2) 10 GS, 52-1/3 IP, 4.30 ERA, 1.28 WHIP

[Sammy Sofa]

I miss Cubsfun I wish he would have continued his photoshops / blog posts.

[ctcf]

i give up

 

Sneaky got it. A was Kazmir since his trade to the Stros. B is Haren since the trade to the Cubs

[ctcf]

Props to Sneaky on Cueto too, that's insane. Who would have thought!

oh haha i was referring to trying to figure out pitchers (i guess that applies to your question too) after seeing what kazmir and cueto have done compared to haren

 

i remembered seeing your question but didn't even realize it was in this thread

[ctcf]

Fun with even smaller sample sizes:

 

Trevor Cahill w/ Cubs: 15.1 IP, 1.76 ERA, 2.49 FIP, 19 K, 4 BB, 1 HR

Jonathan Papelbon w/ Nats: 23.2 IP, 3.04 ERA, 4.87 FIP, 16 K, 4 BB, 4 HR, 1 Assault

thumbs up to you too, deno

[muntjack]

Just about the best defense we can field, yes? Maybe Coghlan in LF?

 

Edit: And Ross at C, obviously

[ctcf]

Has anyone else had issues with MLB Gameday? It's always locking up on me and such.

mlb.tv has been terrible all year for me. it froze during the top of the 9th yesterday evening and when it back to the action, it gave me the "this game is now over" screen.

Close, best defensive lineup is probably something like

 

Ross- C

Rizzo- 1B

Castro- 2B

Russell- SS

Baez- 3B

Fowler- LF

Jackson- CF

Bryant or Denorfia- RF
