    DLee doubles, Theriot at third.

    And just so you guys know, Kendall has made the playoffs once. Last year. And the A's had a much bigger lead than the Cubs do. And he hit .258/.303/.290 in the playoffs.

    If Sunday is gonna be the deciding game for the WC, they'll throw Peavy.

    So you say I'm being ridiculous for saying that momentum could exist in other sports including baseball and then you state that momentum exist to "some degree" in baseball, but is "pretty minimal" to the point of being negible with no evidence nor explanation. Talk about calling the kettle black. Do me a favor ask a baseball player if he believes in momentum and see what he says. Baseball players believe a lot of things to be true that aren't. Most of them aren't the smartest guys on earth. Ask a baseball player if a corked bat is helpful. Ask certain baseball players if sliding into first base is a good idea. Etc. Carl Everett doesn't believe in dinosaurs.

    NL MVP?

    Rob replied to imb's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk

    they were a .596 winning percentage team with those two before Braun was called up. I kid, but you could same the same thing about Graffanino taking over first base from Fielder. yes, he's very popular amongst the Baseball Tonight crew, but puh-leaz. he's the fifth best hitter on his team, maybe a slightly above average fielder for his position. how stealing bases vaults him above so many others for mvp consideration with these two facts floating about, I have no idea. According to VORP, Rollins has been the second best hitter on the team. Yeah, both his OBP and his SLG are 40 points behind Howard... but Howard plays first. Rollins' production for SS is great.

    First order is just based off runs scored and runs allowed. Second order is based off Equivalent Runs and Equivalent Runs Allowed, which are simply the predicted runs scored and allowed based on batting lines. Third order is based off Equivalent Runs and Equivalent Runs Allowed, but adjusted for the quality of the opponents' hitting and pitching. I could be a bit off on all of this, but it's a good groundwork for Meph to correct later.

    Milton Bradley

    Rob replied to E.J.'s topic in Chicago Cubs Talk

    Perhaps you are right, but I personally don't see how it matters because the only advantage Helton's team could gain from his testimony would be that Bradley is suspended...which doesn't matter because Bradley is out for the season already with his injury. The question isn't how the Padres respond to it. It's how the umpires respond. He sides with the umps, and maybe they get some preferential treatment. He sides against them, and they may attempt to find retribution.

    Lilly and it isn't even close, to me. Just for giggles... WARP3 scores. Ramirez - 9.4 Soriano - 8.5 Lee - 8.3 Zambrano - 7.1 Lilly - 5.9 While Lilly has been a slightly more effective pitcher, don't forget that Z has thrown a few more innings, fields the position better, and hits significantly better.
  10. Rob
    Aramis is the MVP, followed fairly closely by Lee and Soriano, then Lilly and Zambrano.

    I always take the regular season crown, and I always crap out in the first round of the playoffs. This year though, I've broken the cycle. I managed to squeeze a tie in the first round on a pinch hit by Pujols in the last game on Sunday, and the tiebreaker went to me since I was in first place. I'm just crossing my fingers for the championship now.

    His 90th percentile PECOTA forecast: .292/.392/.550

    Milton Bradley

    Rob replied to E.J.'s topic in Chicago Cubs Talk

    .305/.403/.537 That'd only make him the best hitter on our team this year. Yeah, it's a real good thing we didn't pick him up. He wouldn't have been better than the crap we've had from CF or RF a good chunk of this season. Lee and Aramis both have him beat in batting. Lee has the same on base percentage. Bradley numbers are lower then this because his Oakland numbers.He often hurt and is a jerk. EqA: DLee - .297 Aramis - .300 Bradley - .286 with OAK, .334 with SD (where he has approx 2/3 of his PT) This season, Bradley has been a better hitter, even including his Oakland numbers (which are nothing to scoff at). Yeah, he's been injured a good chunk of the season, but putting him in CF when Jacque was performing so badly would have been worth quite a few wins, or in right when Floyd had forgotten how to hit for power. He may be an asshat, but he's a very valuable one.

    If I had seen this the second it was posted, I would have been getting in my car and driving the three hours... but alas, it was not to be.
  16. Rob
    This sucks.

    I'm getting up and trying to nab the 4 best available seats I can. Another buddy is getting up and trying to get whatever he can get his hands on. If all goes well, he sells his tickets on stubhub, and we split the cash and get paid to sit in some nice seats.

    We'd be stupid to not even explore the option. Depending on what he's willing to sign for, he could be an absolutely fantastic addition. It would essentially require playing Pie everyday Bonds is in the lineup, just to cover the spare ground... but that's not really a bad thing either.
  19. Rob
    Dear God... this game has been fantastic. Ups, downs, Geovany Soto.
  20. Rob
    ARAMABOMB!!!
  21. Rob
    DLee grounds to short. Sanchez muffs the throw from Kata trying to turn the DP. Runners on 1st and 2nd, one out.
  22. Rob
    DeRosa lines out to short.
  23. Rob
    Yeah weis. Just search for the player and then click on the dropdown box for his splits.
  24. Rob
    Soriano singled to left.
  25. Rob
    Eyre has a sub 1.00 ERA in the 2nd half. :shock:
