    Maybe you should be angrier at the rapist soldiers than the men who made a movie about the rapist soldiers. Maybe you are, I don't know.

    oh, i'm no saber-hater. a person can't say a negative word about anything saber-related without being filed under "saber-hater"? talk about myopia. and i'm sure that's true that most of the people here watch the games. but watch them and allow yourself some subjectivity. formulate opinions. So you honestly watch Theriot play ss and come away thinking he is a good fielder? I don't think he is terrible, but it's fairly obvious that he doesn't have much in the way of range or arm. And I am sorry, but I'm pretty tired of the whole "watch the game" argument. It's a pretty cheap shot and its usually incorrect.

    That is the oldest argument in the "saber-hater" book, and it's a terrible one. I think it's safe to say that we all watch a ton of games.
  5. CoolHandLuke
    that causes one to wonder what would cause a player to go from a top-5 defender one season to one of the worst in the league the following season? i have an idea and it involves relying on a defensive metric that considers yuniesky betancourt, bobby crosby and erick aybar dismal fielders. Your argument is pretty terrible, considering Theriot's defense is also criticized quite a bit from an observational perspective.

    Uggh

    You were doing so well until that nonsensical last sentence. I think by "when the 9th actually is the most important inning," he's saying that in those games in which the 9th really is most important (1-run leads, guys get on base in a close game, heart of the order up), Lou isn't going to his "best" reliever - Marmol. Lou is sticking with his "closer" in those situations, and CHL is suggesting Lou should use Marmol in the highest-leverage situations, whether it be the 7th, 8th, or a save situation in the 9th that's harder than your routine 3-run lead, no one on, bottom of the order up, 9th. If I'm completely misread his post, than I share your opinion, jersey. Yeah, this is what I meant, thanks. I suppose I should have said "when the 9th is the situation with the highest leverage".

    I don't see it. I see a lot of ripping Yost, deservedly so, and a lot of "this helps the cubs", which is true.
  9. CoolHandLuke
    Even though he plays a large role in our biggest competition and also is the ace of my biggest sim league rival's staff, I am a little sad. I really really like Gallardo.
  10. CoolHandLuke
    In the PCL. I'm talking about his major league leading 3.000 OPS. Yeah, he's that good.
  11. CoolHandLuke
    To address the thread title: 2007 Cleveland Indians: 96-66 closer: Joe Borowski, of the 5+ era. Closer is not, or at least should not be, a position. The only problem i see with the current bullpen usage is that Lou won't use Marmol in the 9th, when the 9th actually is the most important inning.
  12. CoolHandLuke
    plz win, k thanks.
  13. CoolHandLuke
    haha!
  14. CoolHandLuke
    Considering his current OPS, I'd give up almost anything for him.
  15. CoolHandLuke
    Your best reliever should be available to work in high leverage situations.
  16. CoolHandLuke
    I feel so crappy now. thanks a lot, cubs.
  17. CoolHandLuke
    :cry:
  18. CoolHandLuke
    walk off dinger, plz, k
  19. CoolHandLuke
    What a bum
  20. CoolHandLuke
    Ronny is such a different hitter now than he was in 06.
  21. CoolHandLuke
    we are always on the same page.
  22. CoolHandLuke
    I am going to be mad if Lou makes Marmol the closer.
  23. CoolHandLuke
    The point stands that Theriot isn't really an everyday ss though. He doesn't have much range or arm and he really is more of a 2b.
  24. CoolHandLuke
    Bob Uecker is awesome.
  25. CoolHandLuke
    Ueker looks terrible. And he's sporting the bluetooth headset, haha I love how he has some fun with the fans, while singing the stretch.
