[Transmogrified Tiger]

Wow, Barrett's got a .333 average today. And that at-bat was just as meaningful as his one in the third.

 

Yeah, Barrett decided to wait until after they were behind to pad his stats.

[hardcorecubfan]

are we feeling any better?

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

thank you Conine.

[Derwood]

Wow, did McKeon drink some Dusty Juice? He's left Vargas in there WAY too long

[badger1679666666]

Too bad Wuertz sucks or it'd be a tie game.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

someone left Vargas in a little too long. i'm glad Dusty isn't the only manager who does this. :D

Dude, he just scored a run! What's with the hatred for Barrett?

 

Yeah, barrett he just gets the easy hits. everybody else in mlb get the hard ones and can pick and choose to when they want a base hit.

It's not hatred. I don't like or hate any of these guys as persons. It proves my point about Barrett and meaningful hits. Stats lie a lot of the time and batting average is the biggest liar of them all.

 

Ok, I would disagree again. Looking at the LOB stat Barrett has had a poor game, but he got this inning started and get got on base and scored a run. Wasn't the best day, but wasn't an absolutely poor day either.

Yeah, three at bats proves your point.
