    according to fangraphs he's swung at nearly 46% of pitches outside the strike zone. that is a little alarming.

    i don't think you'll need to bother with that. there's a place where we can view stats/points over the last 7 games, so once we get to wednesday or something, i should be able to look at that and it will only go back far enough to include the one start that lowe and lewis made. probably the fairest thing to do is just remove the starts that put you over 7, which would be the sunday starts by lowe and lewis. in the future, probably the best thing to do - if you go over in starts or if you have a starter that makes a relief appearance - is to report who the offending player is and how many points they scored, rather than just saying "please remove the points for ____." since cbs inexplicably doesn't have an easy way to go back and find out how many points a player scored for a given game.

    wanted to get the league's feelings on this because shane's roster is illegal (he has an uninjured starter on his bench and isn't playing 3 outfielders), and he doesn't appear to be actively managing his team any more. 1. should we look for a replacement now? 2. do you know anyone who might be interested in joining? 3. if not, where should we search for a replacement?

    here is a dumb question - how do i see how many points each of your pitchers piled up in those games? i can see how many points they had during the week, which doesn't do me much good since they each made two starts. and i can see how many points they got yesterday, which again doesn't do me any good since i want sunday's stats.

    Yeah I'd really be concerned that a guy whose fastball sits in the upper 90s does not project to add much velocity.

    Do Japanese hitters just swing at complete garbage? Daisuke walked 2-2.5 guys per 9 innings in Japan and his BB rate doubled upon moving to MLB. Same thing is happening to Darvish. He's about to have as many walks as last year despite throwing 170 fewer innings.

    obligatory dylan bundy update: 5 ip, 1 h, 0 r, 0 bb, 4 k - first professional win. season line: 30 ip, 5 h, 2 r, 0 er, 2 bb, 40 k.

    like it matters. Matt Adams will come up and rake.

    yeah plus unless they inherited their place from great great grandparents, they knew that a ballpark was located in their neighborhood. Don't buy a condo near wrigley and then bitch that it's noisy after night games. If you don't want to deal with that, don't buy a place across from a 40,000 seat ballpark.

    if shane wants out of the league, what are everyone's thoughts on looking for a replacement midseason? he still has dempster out injured, is only playing two outfielders this week and had a minor leaguer who was listed as "illegal" or something because he changed from first baseman to pitcher (i fixed that using commish powers). if he isn't going to actively manage his team, would it be more fair to have someone take over who will do so, and who might make some trades to improve his team's outlook for future years?

    oh i don't disagree that we were up [expletive] creek without a paddle with our top 3 catchers all out injured, but couldn't it have been someone other than koyie hill? the guy just [expletive] sucks, and what's worse is that we have had to watch him [expletive] suck for our team for 5 years. i would have preferred pretty much any bad AAA catcher over koyie hill. at least then we'd be watching someone different strike out or hit a dribbler to the second baseman.

    nice start for trevor bauer in his AAA debut: 8 ip, 4 h, 1 er, 1 bb, 11 k, 1 hr.
  13. TruffleShuffle
    i didn't realize this happened until i checked the cubs' box score from today's game and saw k. hill in the lineup. then i started hoping that there was a ken or kevin or kieran hill who i just hadn't heard about before.
  14. TruffleShuffle
    austin jackson is dinged up and chris young is off the DL so i activated young and replaced jackson with young in my lineup.
  15. TruffleShuffle
    based on what??? 22 is much younger than average for AA players. 22 is probably pretty close to the average for High A players. he's younger than 60% of the players on the daytona cubs' roster.

    please explain to me how you have this opinion of mike gonzalez: but this opinion of orlando hudson:
  17. TruffleShuffle
    humber in 4 starts since the perfect game: 20 ip, 25 h, 21 er, 14 bb, 19 k, 5 hr, 9.45 ERA, .301/.414/.554/.968 opposing batter line. let's hope he keeps that up.

    reed johnson is a loser.
  19. TruffleShuffle
    darwin barney can hit a home run, right?
  20. TruffleShuffle
    the fact that roy halladay has settled into robot mode doesn't bode well for the cubs.
  21. TruffleShuffle
    he does strike out a good bit. his babip's the last two years at AAA have to be crazy high.
  22. TruffleShuffle
    you are going to be praying for a long time if you are hoping for this.
  23. TruffleShuffle
    volstad makes me want to go up there and take a few cuts.
  24. TruffleShuffle
    if we are trading dempster we really shouldn't be eating most or all of the contract unless we're getting a good prospect back.
