Oh wow, that's crazy. The crazy thing is that we've drawn 91 walks in 20 games. That's 4.55 walks per game... which puts us on pace for 737 walks this season. (Philadelphia led the NL last year with 641)

I really liked seeing Cedeno hold onto the ball a couple of times today. It seems like he's trying to cut back on the mental mistakes... he woulda let those balls sail over DLee's head before. -
I just dropped Hank Blalock and picked up Ronny Cedeno on my fantasy team. (I have Ryan Braun, Evan Longoria, Mark Reynolds, Alfonso Soriano, and Carl Crawford to split between my 3B, LF, and UTIL spots... so dropping Blalock becomes less insane)

Do you think Len and Bob will put it together that we're doing all this late damage because we're actually making it into the other teams bullpens now?
-
Cedeno 4 starter
-
He posted a 400+ OBP in Iowa. If he can do that, I don't really care how hard or where he's hitting the ball.
-
I also predict that Dusty will pick a reliever, abuse his arm mercilessly, and then demote him into a mop-up role due to ineffectiveness partially caused by pitching 12 times in 15 days. He will then repeat this cycle with a new reliever.

Little Lord Fontenot is more of an annoyance than a troll. Give the kid a break. -

Rob replied to Sammy Sofa's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
which translated to a 4.7 warp. i'm not trying to be contrarian i just think thats interesting. WARP incorporates defense, and Neifi was one of the best defensive SS in baseball in 2005. Not to mention that a 4.7 warp isn't really 4.7 wins above a replacement level player. You'd be hard pressed to find anybody that actually matches their definition of replacement level. i'm aware of that, but it either means one of two things: 1) he was unfairly abused by the fans that year, or 2) warp is nonsense Not really. Perhaps the acronym is nonsense, but it has its uses... same as any other statistic. But I can see that you obviously don't let your limited grasp of the statistic influence your opinion towards it. -
Felix!!!

your still not going to get much playing time "You're" It's short for "you are", and it's what you should be using there.
-
I heart Ronny Cedeno.
-
It wasn't late... it was the third or fourth inning, I think.
-
Soto has looked a like he was trying to pull everything tonight...
-
fangraph must still think Braun hits home runs every at bat. Nope. Run expectancy in that situation is more than 1 run, and the Brewers have more outs left to work with.
-
For what its worth, it looked like the first base ump more than made up for the Soto call when he called Reyes out on that DP.
-
That's a funny name for an earthquake.
-
I'm getting the distinct impression that should the Cubs make it to the playoffs, I'm going to have to watch all the games in a bar... so I'm not tempted to hear the announcers trying to sell the mystical curse/black cat/bartman crap
-
Cedeno just missed that one...
-
6 groundouts 2 flyouts In this game Sweet. Thanks.
-
ARAMABOMB!!!

Hey Fred, do you happen to know what Z's groundball rate is?
-
Z is getting a little amped.

Ri-freaking-diculous

Another walk for Aramis. He's seeing the ball real well so far this season.
