    So where, if anywhere, does Epstein go now?
  2. AlwaysaCub
    Bruce would do wonders for this board at the moment.

    Maybe in terms of one player...you cannot think like that for eight everyday players. If we were willing to give those 20 points of OBP back at every position, as the Cubs actually appear to do, we would give back 112 times on base.

    Has ESPN1K reported this again today? Or was it just yesterday?
  5. AlwaysaCub
    Has ESPN1000 elaborated at all?

    yahoo has this:

    108 yard missed FG return

    In Seattle they called him "Stand Pat" Gillick, because he never made trades at the deadline while Beane would pick up Ray Durham and whatnot and then own Seattle...Gillick did put together the 116 win Mariners IIRC...it could go either way.

    If I were a scheduler and I heard the 15 and 15 plan, I think I'd shoot myself.

    I love the Gino's East cornbread crust. It makes the pizza so much better.

    I think the point is there are 50 games or so a year where the other team will beat itself and so you will win. There are 50 games or so each year in which you will beat yourself. Those other 62 games are the games, when neither team shoots itself in the foot, are the games that matter.

    We end with series against Cinci and the Rockies. Who sees a grand choke?

    He led the league in OBP twice. Rose I mean. Tim Raines also had excellent OBPs as well as a large number of steals.

    WOW! Mr. Clutch does it again! btw, that swing by Corey @ the high FB was absolutely horrendous. The swing pales in comparison to not running to first in terms of horendous play.
  15. AlwaysaCub
    Corey Patterson could have beaten that out. What utter horse$%*#. I hope that non-effort seels his fate with the Cubs.
  16. AlwaysaCub
    The White Sox seem to not want to win this thing. Or maybe they are just bad and have overachieved the entire year.
  17. AlwaysaCub
    Screw Riot. I think Soto deserves an AB much more than Riot, because Soto has been up for over a week with no AB.
  18. AlwaysaCub
    Well, Derrek Lee is going to be coming up in the first inning with 2 out and nobody on.
  19. AlwaysaCub
    I did that during all three losing streaks. I know the feeling. Pretty much I watched the first inning where they always fell behind, conceded the game, and turned the game off. But 6-1 on this trip has certainly brought back some excitement.

    Okay tonight, Friday, Neifi and Cpat are in the starting lineup. The last two days both Murton and Cedeno started. Why in the world is Dusty not playing just one at a time. I mean, Cpat and Cedeno are not mutually exclusive.
  21. AlwaysaCub
    I think the reasoning there is that Aramis is the guy you pay to create runs. I don't think it has anything to do with Aramis's ego. Dusty goes with the guy he thinks he's clutch, his cleanup hitter. Do you think cleanup hitters on any team usually bunt? Okay, say he did get the bunt down. Know what happens next? Intentional walk. So, basically you just took that bat out of the hands of the fourth AND fifth hitters, and at that point in our lineup the hitters start getting weaker. The great example of this is the game where Neifi ended up hitting his 10th inning grand slam. Todd Walker doubled, so DLee was IBBed. Next, Burnitz, hitting cleanup, laid down a successful sac bunt. So Aramis was IBBed as well. Barrett, hitting sixth, struck out. Neifi 99 times out of 100 does not hit a grand slam there, and 75% of the time we don't score any runs there, after a leadoff double. Did the sac bunt necessarily make sense there?
  22. AlwaysaCub
    You wanna know why Cards fan? Because win shares are adjusted for team wins, and the cards have overachieved their pythagorean record, so the adjustment between runs and wins works in his favor. Meanwhile, DLee's team is underachieving relative to the pythagorean record, which win shares work off of. Thus, the system has created a mirage based on how the team is compared to the runs ratio. At least I think that's true, correct me if I'm wrong.
  23. AlwaysaCub
    Barrett has sure looked like a bum at the plate tonight. Helping out a guy who really, really needs help tonight.
  24. AlwaysaCub
    The cubs better win this game if Yadier Molina is hitting cleanup. If they don't, they have no business considering themselves a major league club.
  25. AlwaysaCub
    You really think that with Neifi Perez on your roster, Cedeno will actually start at second base? Not with this manager.
