    he has 16 BB in 58 PA, good for a .190 IsoD. his IsoD as a minor leaguer was .144... last year at AAA it was .174. According to Rotoworld, he's achieved one of the three true outcomes (BB, K, HR) in 72% of his PAs. and that 1.429 OPS is awful juicy

    the one against ward? it was right down the middle, belt high.
  3. TruffleShuffle
    jeez ramirez, at least pretend that you might swing at the first pitch
  4. TruffleShuffle
    what a meatball that was
  5. TruffleShuffle
    I didn't hear it, but it was probably something similar to this. http://jonmdavis.net/cubs/september272003g2.mp3 I think this one is my all-time favorite ron santo call.

    really wish i could hear some audio highlights from this one... ronny must have been going nvts
  7. TruffleShuffle
    it's wilken... not wilkens, wilkins, etc.
  8. TruffleShuffle
    :lol: Matt Antonelli can rake.

    i have a better idea.... how about we take the things that really aren't working - i.e., Scott Eyre - and get them off the team, rather than take the things that are working moderately well (Guzman as 5th starter, Dempster as closer) and screw around with them.
  10. TruffleShuffle
    agreed.... actually the biggest negative for them is the apathetic atlanta fan base
  11. TruffleShuffle
    good idea... how soon before his arm falls off?
  12. TruffleShuffle
    took a 95 mph Matt Cain fastball out to right yesterday... 8th HR, and is tied for the MLB lead in HR this month.

    I'm almost hoping it goes Wieters-then-Price so that I can't be enraged when the Cubs pick Vitters.
  14. TruffleShuffle
    I've not given up on him yet either. Yes, he's had a poor start this year, but he was very good from 2004-06. If he sucks this year, it wouldn't surprise me if Dusty's meaningless overuse last year has something to do with it.

    well, iowa might be crapping the bed tonight, but e-patt is having another strong game.... 2-3, double, triple, 2 RBI.
  16. TruffleShuffle
    Not if you know what you are doing. That said Ryan Harvey and Earl Cunningham say that we don't. Oh and no one thinks Vitters is in the same class as any of those guys were. Why on earth would you bring Cunningham into the argument? It's a credibility destroyer. Not really. People thought Earl Cunningham was an amazing talent. They thought Ryan Harvey was the next Dale Murphy. Everyone things that the top-5 pick they're getting is a can't-miss prospect, but in reality, he's probably not.

    This would literally be my worst nightmare... I can't wait.
  18. TruffleShuffle
    well, at least fontenot got a good shot
  19. TruffleShuffle
    unfortunately he had quite a floor as well If you ask me, that floor is quite shoddy and unstable. There appears to be a lot of unsafe spots that can cause him to fall right through to an even lower level. I'm hoping that he falls onto a pitcher's mound at that lower level.
  20. TruffleShuffle
    Problem is, he's been so bad that you just cannot pitch him in close games. How can you have a guy on the team who can't play except in games that become a joke? With a competitive team, that's wasting a roster spot that could be used to win close games. With a bad team (i.e., this one), it's wasting a spot that could be used to test minor leaguers for next year.
  21. TruffleShuffle
    if we needed to increase the number of people on this team who can't get on base, corey would be a good pickup
  22. TruffleShuffle
    Beane manages the A's?
  23. TruffleShuffle
    cubs lose
  24. TruffleShuffle
    well that's not even close to being true, but whatever
  25. TruffleShuffle
    you're assuming the cubs are smart enough to draft wieters, which clearly they aren't. josh vitters will make casey mcgehee expendable, however.
