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

[Coach C]

Please tell me that Murton is going out for the 9th.

 

Gameday says he is.

 

Never mind.

[marc_foust]

Holla does it all according to sportsline:

 

T. Hollandsworth (0.00) pitches to

J. LaRue (.251, 0-for-2, hbp): Ball, Strike looking (95/fastball).

[E.J.]

So, some people saying Murton's still in the game and some saying he's not. So which is it?

[Abedunk34]

So, is Holla really pitching???

 

:shock:

[Blueheart05]

Novoa is impressing me as the setup guy.

[otis89]

Novoa is impressing me as the setup guy.

 

Hopefully he's finally figured out how to pitch in the major leagues.

He's no longer in the game.

[marc_foust]

Just realized that according to sportsline. holla is not only pitching, but playing left as well. He is like superman.

[Jon]

Another nice win!

[Coach C]

Cubs win! Cubs win!

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Cubs Win! Cubs Win! Cubs Win!

Gotta get some return out of the Farnsworth trade.

 

Now all we gotta do is teach Novoa to tackle opposing players.

Nats Lose! Nats Lose!

OK, then by lately I meant 7/15-7/17. That makes just as much sense as pulling 7/9 - 7/17 out of the air and then using :shock: to make it seem that it proves the statement false.

 

Tying trends to a calender month provides a common point of reference that can be used to avoid having one side manipulate the data to attempt to prove their pre-conceived theory.

 

That's great. Hollandsworth has 1 good game, and you want to call it a trend. Hey, that's fine.

 

Trends begin and end when they begin and end. This happend without respect to any fixed and arbitrary time reference. What you call manipulating data is nothing more than isolating a trend that your "common point of reference" completely ignores.

 

It was a two game sample, thank you very much. :P

 

I still don't think your 13 AB's prove anything, and definitely feel the :shock: was a bit much considering the sample size.

 

You imply that 6 AB's is too few for a trend but are claiming that 13 AB's is enough. Seems like a pretty fine line.

 

Yes, it's a 2 game sample size. I said he had 1 good game, and I stand by it.

 

You have my sincere apology for the use of the :shock:

 

Never mind was it implied. Concentrate on what was stated. The original assertion was that Hollandsworth has played "real well lately". I assert that he has not. A fine line ? Sure it is.

[marc_foust]

Cubs win, but we still suck.... :p

[Mizzou]

Great start to the road trip! One win down, six to go!

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

The kid gets 4 hits and Dusty wont even let him finish it out? What a joke.

 

Wow... I just referred to him as a kid and I'm 23. :shock:

 

What are you talking about? The kid did not come out. He played the entire game.

 

No. Hollandsworth stayed in to play left in the bottom of the ninth and Novoa was inserted in Murton's spot.

[marc_foust]

Im watching the braves vs giants and chipper makes his return tonight. Some very bad news for the nats

[badger1679666666]

Now Cbssportsline has Coffey pitching for the cubs. That website sucks donkey balls.

Fair enough.

 

BTW, keep up the good work on the worthless stats before each game!

 

Love 'em! :thumleft:

Cubs win!!!

Other than the fact they lost again, this time to the Rockies. :lol:

[erik316wttn]

Cubs now improve to 47-0 when outscoring thier opponent this year.

 

And I'm not rooting for the Braves or the Nats. I'm just rooting for the Cubs to win the WC.

:lol: Giving Fred a run for his money in the stat keeping department, aren't you?
