3-0 to Lee and he's swinging. I understand he's your best hitter, and the AB ended in a walk anyway, but there's no way he should have been swinging in my book.

Yes he should have been. That's a no-brainer.

I couldn't disagree more.

[otis89]

Wow, that was bad....remember when our lineup was Nomar/Ramirez/Sosa/Lee/Alou/Walker?

 

sigh....

 

I doubt Sosa would've done any better in that situation.

[TheDude]

Alright. So the Marlins have 4 runs with 6 baserunners. The Cubs have no runs with 5 baserunners.

 

I think it is going to take only a HR or a leadoff triple.

[Derwood]

Oh God! The ESPN guys are saying that the Cubs should just re-sign Neifi to play SS fulltime next year! What has Dusty put in their koolaid?

Agreed. When you have your best hitter up there with no protection and about to get a fat pitch, swing away. Better to be 4-3 with 1 out bases empty then 4-0 bases loaded.

Considering DLee is the ONLY hitter in the lineup capable of hitting an XBH on this team currently, at least tha can be expected, you can not handicap him. At all.

ESPN is quite possibly the stupidest network on TV.

This is what I was talking about. Perez has to be doing something right for all these baseball people to make these statements

Wow, Barrett is less than stellar this season...what did PECOTA predict for him?

 

What are you talking about. He is the 2nd best offensive catcher in the majors

 

and quite possibly the 2nd worst defensive catcher

PECOTA. Funny i was thinking about that yesteday and laughing at what they predicted barrett would do. I dont have the numbers but i remember reading they thought a progression to his career norm in montreal was likely. which would mean like a .225 hitter. Nice job there BP.

They haven't watched him all year. They look at his april numbers and the grand slam he hit against the Cardinals and say"This is a good player", while we, who have seen him all year, know the truth.

Better stop that Barrett criticism. All those people who just spout his great stats and don't actually watch how he responds in game situations will get mad.

mhuber-

 

for a catcher, his numbers are good, but they are down from last season, and I'm pretty sure PECOTA predicted a decline. I'm just curious as to how big of a decline.

Can we please have the real Nomar Garciaparra back?

 

Sadly, this is the real Nomar. He's an utterly awful baseball player.

Oh, sorry. I thought the real Nomar was this one from 2000.

 

.372 with 21 homers and 96 RBI

 

Or this one from 1998

 

.323 with 35 homers and 122 RBI
