    Great AB by Morel
  2. CubinNY
    Madrigal and his running throws might have cost a hit there.

    You say that without any evidence. It's a matter of faith. Is it luck that the Reds 3rd baseman can't field a ground ball or Votto can no longer handle first? or whatever. Or Ross kept putting in relief pitchers who couldn't throw strikes or command the zone when throwing strikes? There is a lot of stuff that is controllable that happens in games. Is a seeing-eye bloop double lucky or a pitcher making a good pitch and a hitter doing one better by putting wood on it and it landing safely? I guess it depends on one's disposition with regard to skill (pitching and hitting) and outcome. Luck favors skill, it's not a 50/50 proposition.

    Luck is what we go to when we don't know the real reason.

    It's not sad. It means the model doesn't reflect reality very well right now. If the model is valid and they continue on this path they should win the division. So take solace in that. Over the last 20 years, we've been conditioned to statistics telling us things we don't know. Well in some cases, that's true. "All things equal the data show X should be better". Well, that's not the end of the story because all things are never equal. The question is why? Kyle and others like to chalk that up to luck (variability). But luck is a black box you can put anything into. There is obviously luck involved in the equation, but how much? are there other variables at work? What are they? Can the Cubs do anything about those variables? and on and on. When we see a stat that is supposed to model reality, and it doesn't, it doesn't mean that reality is off, it means that the model is not particularly good at what it is supposed to do. It could be because it needs more data or it could be for other reasons, but reality is never wrong.

    Maybe the will win the WS for Third-order wins

    Also, anyone who suggested trading Morel should put themselves in timeout for at least 10 minutes today.
  8. CubinNY
    Rossy's Wall Bangers will score a baker's dozen today.
  9. CubinNY
    Fullmer is good
  10. CubinNY
    I absolutely adore Morel.
  11. CubinNY
    Kerry Wood KO’d him. I think I remember him having a good game against Clemons.
  12. CubinNY
    Morel missed more than 40 games to start the season. The Cubs would probably have won at least one or two more games if the let him start the season.
  13. CubinNY
    Smyly blows
  14. CubinNY
    For those that don’t follow the minors. Horton absolutely dominated in his first start in AA. Basically breezed through four innings. he may be in Wrigley next year this time.
  15. CubinNY
    TIL: I can watch MiLB games and listen to the Cubs on the ap.
  16. CubinNY
    Horton hasn’t missed a beat.
  17. CubinNY
    The defense is supposed to be the weak part of the team?
  18. CubinNY
    might be break.
  19. CubinNY
    Yes, it's about current results, not future performance forecasts. Same thing with Bellinger, stay hot. But I want the Cubs to have no part in his next contract.
  20. CubinNY
    get him in the "taking ground balls lab" this winter.
  21. CubinNY
    If Smyly can turn back the clock to April and May for one game, I hope it is tonight.
  22. CubinNY
    Made is the one that may haunt the Cubs. Hertz is a future relief pitcher if he can learn to throw a strike. I think Nelly will be bumping around the majors for quite a while. Hopefully, he doesn't become a Cub killer.
  23. CubinNY
    I think the Mets are smart here. They went for it hard, it didn't work, and now they've used their financial advantage to get more talent in the system. Some people are speculating that this means that they are out on Ohtani. I think just the opposite is the case. He may be a big part of the re-tool. He may not want to go to the East Coast though.
  24. CubinNY
    I'm really happy that they are playing meaningful games after the trade deadline! Go Cubs. This season kind of reminds me of 1998.
  25. CubinNY
    Good night on the farm.
