5/25 cobs (kyle) vs giants (holland) 1:20 ABC7

[Bertz]

I'm still waiting for Addy to be good.

I looked it up just because I was curious and not trying to make any point, but him and Javy have the same fWAR. That is surprising.

 

OBP is a hell of a drug.

 

Also, Javy has 9 errors already, so Addy's got a pretty decent defensive edge thus far.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Kyle is a stud.

[Omar]

didn't someone do a study on whats faster, sliding vs. running past 1st? Mythbusters?

 

Yes, and for a team so into the numbers, you would think there would be some organizational training to not do it. However, a lot of it is human nature I'd guess. Baez is definitely safe if he runs through the bag.

 

i guess thats why we have a "baserunning coach"

Errors don't really factor into advanced fielding metrics. Addy has superior range and a more accurate arm.

Yeah Addy’s defense is mostly carrying his WAR and Javy’s power has carried his. It would be nice if we could just give Addy, Javy’s power. And it’s more than errors for Javy on defense, Russell is just way, way better than him by every metric.

[Sammy Sofa]

Definitely VRD.

[Cubswin11]

Of course this idiot has this take

"Error Runs" are a component of UZR/DRS. I'm not sure if they're 1:1 with the errors that come via the oficial scorer, but it's what's dragging Javy's defensive numbers down this year. (he's 3 runs below average on the year)

[ScrubMD]

The Cubs should try to do better against bad pitchers.

[PackLandVA]

The Giants suck and Derek Holland really sucks. That is all.

 

So if I'm reading between the lines, Holland goes 6 and gives up 1 run; Cubs lose 5-1?

 

 

Why am I not surprised by the Cubs’ offensive output (accent on the second syllable)?

[Schwarber Fan]

I sense a BS run coming for San Fran.

[Cubswin11]

Nice play, Addy. Now score some runs you goons

[Brian707]

Ok, lets get some runs of this pud

[Cubswin11]

This is crazy even if he’s only throwing 75

 

[BigSlick]

CAN SOMEONE GET A HIT PLEASE

[Sammys Boombox]

This baseball game sucks

[UMFan83]

God I can’t take this horsefeathering offense anymore. Figure out how to make them more consistent Chili

[Cubswin11]

What do we look like in batting practice if this is what we look like vs this bum and that Pluto dude????

[Sammy Sofa]

Start printing off that VRD and put it in all of the guest lockers or something.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Are the Cubs still leading the league in soft contact? Because it sure seems like that must be the case.

LOL

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Quick poll

 

Kyle Hendricks gives up a few hard hit balls in the next inning and the couple runs allowed are enough for the Giants to beat the Cubs.

[BigSlick]

horsefeathers THIS

[Perd]

This one has losing to a 9th inning basket shot written all over it.
