    Thanks again for posting all this stuff Raisin!

    Trying to turn CPatt into a contact hitter ruined him.

    BIS is actually tracking the speed and vector of each ball in play, along with exactly where the fielder was positioned and all that jazz. If you haven't already, read "The Fielding Bible"

    I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the Giants. Sabean certainly seems to like picking up one legitimate superstar, and filling in with mediocre veterans. And the money coming off the books now that they've announced they wont bring back Bonds, coupled with the fact that the Pirates picked up all of Morris' contract, means that they will have enough cash to get in the bidding. And don't forget that the Giants don't really have an adequate SS or 3B.

    Is that the same "timing mechanism" Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire used? To be fair, Sammy's rise to stardom coincided with the time he finally figured out how to control himself on pitches low and away... and his star faded when he lost that corner.

    I don't particularly mind Perry, but I've been saying for a while that Von Joshua should be our hitting coach. Most of our guys are pretty established and set in their ways, but Joshua has done an amazing job when working with guys like Murton, Pie, Soto, and Cedeno. If we can get full seasons of those guys hitting like they have for Von Joshua, combined with guys like Soriano, Lee, and Ramirez who don't require much coaching, we could have a very very good offense.

    Negatory. Will you turn a blind eye if it's funny? If not, don't look at page 41. :lol:

    Seconded. tirded +1 Somebody should start a poll.

    Damn straight, you bastard!

    Just do it, man. These threads are gonna be moving so fast that the mods will never be able to keep up.

    38 non-premium pages before the game even starts. Is that a new record?

    You could teach them the subtle difference in "abusing a broken system" versus outright "cheating."

    Because 26 yr old career minor league relievers are impossible to find? Leo Rosales has good #s, but seriously. Ones projected to have an OPS over 800 are hard to find.

    I think I might've found a nice place by O'Hare for still relatively cheap. Gonna have to see if my friend is willing to go halfsies on it, but that shouldn't be too hard. Looks like I'm probably in.

    if ANY Cub gets a ring this year, I will hardly complain, let alone vilify Marquis. like it or not, Marquis helped get you to this point. he deserves a spot on the roster, as others have said. is he good? no. but he paid his dues early on this year. Marquis picked up the slack for 'bad Z' early on. how quickly we forget... Marquis hasn't done anything since May. Yeah, overall he's been a decent help in getting us to where we are, but by no means does that make him the best choice of a roster spot for the playoffs. Monroe, Marshall, and even Ohman would probably end up coming in handy much moreso than Marquis will this series.

    I'm staying at a cheap motel not far from Wrigley. It's only costing me $65 a night. Of course, I think I'm going to bring my own sheets. At that price, I'm not sure what the bed will look like. What's the name of the hotel? Sheffield House. Dear god, I'm reading some reviews of that place online now. It's scaring me.

    Does anybody know if there are still relatively cheap hotels available for saturday night? If so, I'm in.

    Hahahaha, i love it. strange thing is, after stating Kendall has no use, he goes on to describe two of the roles that Kendall helps fill off the bench and that those abilities are handy against a team like the DBacks. It was more of a quip than anything else.
  25. Rob
    Actually, BP's preview today predicted this bench, and had this to say about it.
