    And now pinch hitting with our best pitcher. Lou is out TLRing TLR.

    Out of context your post make sense. In context it's very stupid. What doens't make sense? When Hill struggles the collective wisdom around here blames Lou for the most part. Hill has not been very good since Spring Training. I don't know why that is, but he can't throw strikes. What is stupid would be leaving him out there. He'll turn things around, but its obvious he's not very good right now. Stop it with the collective wisdom crap. As you can plainly see if you read there are a variety of opinions here. It doesn't make sense because they just skipped him in the rotation, it's the first inning, and the bottom of the order is coming up. Leave him in. Lou is pissed and acts impulsively. I'm sure it will do wonders for Hill. There's not been a pitcher jerked around more than Hill.

    Gee I wonder why he's a headcase? (not that actually believe it to be true)
  4. CubinNY
    there's just no proof that he's been bad. he's walked a lot of guys, but he's been rather good. No I'm sure what he just did was bad no, i'm sure his .671 OPS against says he's been good. Not only that but he threw 27 pitches.

    Only if they want to win.
  7. CubinNY
    Ditto. Except for the Wuertz part.

    Jesus Christ, our lord and savior, Rich Hill has been mismanaged by the Cubs.
  9. CubinNY
    WTF on the hair-do?
  10. CubinNY
    That's awesome. I wonder what Bigbird and Belkfast think.
  11. CubinNY
    I'm fired up for this series. I hope the Cubs are too. They should win 2 of 3.

    Not really. There may be some merit to combining metrics like UZR and PMR, but they mostly have to do with increasing the validity of the observed measurement. But on the whole, you're better off using the best defensive metric available, rather than trying to combine the results of all defensive metrics. In this case, RZR is the best defensive metric we have available to us for Year 2008 performance. (Jinaz does a great rundown of what's available, although it predates the release of several promising Retrosheet-based methods.) I don't mean combining them, I mean looking at each one critically for agreement If I have a measuring tape that measure in only inches and something measures to 14 inches plus some undetermined extra and I have another tape that measures in in 1/2 inches and it measures that same thing 14 inches and something less than 14 1/2. If there's a third one that only measures in centimeters and it measures 36 cm, I still don't know what the exact measurement is but I'm willing to bet it's right around 14 inches. If multiple defensive metrics say that Theriot isn't doing well, he's probably not.

    When most measurement tools say something is X you can pretty well bet that whatever is measured is closer to X than further from it.

    He has a thing for blond chicks who are ugly. Next we'll hear he was banging Cindy McCain.
  15. CubinNY
    Mellow......

    And you are still wrong. Check a run expectancy chart. I don't care what a stupid chart tells me. It's a simple fact I would rather have a mistake that doesn't end the inning than one that does. This is why you get more upset when someone strikes out with two outs than with no outs. There is no chance to make up for a two out mistake in a inning. Chart's and statistics aren't the end all be all. That's really stupid. Really.

    I actually thought Phillip's analysis was pretty good last night.
  18. CubinNY
    Dempster needs to be relieved.
  19. CubinNY
    Put money down on the Diamondbacks to win it all now. Today they're at 18/1. That won't last long.
  20. CubinNY
    Soto is the man.

    This topic is really interesting to me. I can see both sides of the argument although the Friday Night Lights guy looks like a real douchebag. I'd like to hear what Bruce Miles thinks about it, but he's probably too busy to notice what's going on.
  22. CubinNY
    What happened? It sounds like whatever it was, it was pretty entertaining.
  23. CubinNY
    I agree. Lou is really screwing the pooch early on. He's really mismanged the entire pitching staff.
  24. CubinNY
    I had the exact thoughts. And it was not just after the game. Showing up about 20 minutes prior to the game, getting out of the station was a mess. We didn't even attempt to take the train back, and ended up walking all the way to some bars near union station. Is it that much different than the 4 to Yankee Stadium or the 7 to Shea? If so it much be really bad.
  25. CubinNY
    Your 2nd sentence doesn't follow from the first. It sounds like you're saying Mars would sell off the naming rights to Wrigley Field. Not only that, but Buffet is purchasing Wrigley with cash! :shock: There is no debt.
