7/18 Cubs (Williams) @ Reds (Claussen) 6:10 pm, CSN

[OleMissCub]

way to go Jerome!

[Coach C]

CUBS are 11-40 when they issue 4 or more walks

 

Ouch. That is brutal.

[Blueheart05]

The offense is great to see, but for me, the performance of Jerome is the real highlight of the day. If the Cubs are going to get an extra bat, it may have to be by trading him...

 

I hope not. Mitre is available...

[Brian]

Jerry is slumping :(

[Flames24Rulz]

Williams is growing on me. He is a very good starter for being a #5 guy and the guy is only 23.

[CubsWin]

JW gets a hit. Cubbie pitchers can swing the bats. 6 game hitting streak for the pitchers.

Okay, Fred, here is a challenging one for ya. What is the Cubs record when the Cubs pitchers get a hit versus when they don't?

 

You can't possibly have that on file, can you?

Hey Fred, what's the Cub's record when a pitcher gets a hit?

[CubmanPi]

JW gets a hit. Cubbie pitchers can swing the bats. 6 game hitting streak for the pitchers.

You can't possibly have that on file, can you?

 

I bet you get an answer before the end of this page.

Too sloooooowwww.....

You're right, I don't have that on file..... but it may be worth adding that one. I like it.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Jerome performing well is great on two fronts. First, it helps us. Secondly, it increases his trade value if we are inclined to move him.

[TruffleShuffle]

Fred your meaningless stats are great... can you give me one? What's the Cubs' record when they (a) walk 4 or more times, and (b) when the Cubs allow 4 or more walks?

 

CUBS are 16-7 when they take 4 or more walks, 30-38 when they don't

CUBS are 11-40 when they issue 4 or more walks, 35-4 when they don't

 

Wow, that one really stands out... wasn't expecting it to be such a huge difference!

 

I think I'm not officially depressed, because the Cubs have only drawn 4+ walks in 23 of 91 games. I guarantee you teams like the Cards, Red Sox and Yankees have a much better rate than 1 out of every 4 games for drawing 4 walks.

 

Thanks for the info!

Heck, it would be impressive if we got an answer at all.

 

 

What are we betting? :wink:

[Brian]

with the 6 run lead I'm loving the LOW strike.

[Coach C]

Seeerike 3!

[Blueheart05]

Jerome looking really good. Len just said he has a 3.68 ERA since joining the Cubs. No doubt that's going down. He's been a great pickup.

[Coach C]

Sweet, another 1 pitch out.

 

1 more to go.

Hey, I just said that a couple of pages ago. Great minds...

[Coach C]

Wow. 8 pitches. :shock:

 

=D>

[Outshined_One]

More 1 pitch outs plz.

 

:D

[TruffleShuffle]

Brandon Claussen, Eric Milton, Randy Kiesler, Wily Mo Pena... Reds are building up quite a list of former Yankee prospects.

Ugh, I'd be nervous moving Williams I think he has such a bigger upside that starting Mitre or Rusch if we want to compete this year.... The only positive would be if Rich Hill is given a shot at starting and is succesful.
