He is fine, but we were spoiled by the Russell/Castro combination up the middle. -
I thought for sure that was a routine double play ball.
-
I wonder if this have any longer term impact on whether Schwarber is used more as a Catcher to try to avoid this type of scenario in the future. Yes, you can call it a freak injury, but it isn't the first time he has put himself in an awkward position going after a ball in the outfield.
-
I'm guessing bone break. Wouldn't shock me if it ends up as a broken fibula after seeing the Twitter pic.
-
This stadium sucks. It's 95 freaking degrees in here and now Schwarber is dead, although it's hard to know what happened without being shown a single replay.
-
Probably a pitcher. Most likely Neil Ramirez to the DL.
-
Did you miss the clip of him singing "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing" a few weeks ago? That was greatness. I don't know anything about the guy, so I will continue to picture him as Tanaka from Major League II. http://str8hate.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/marbles4.jpg

That isn't going to happen. At a minimum, he will be a defensive super-sub.
-
This is awesome, but Fowler should probably be firing his agent after declining the $15.8M qualifying offer.

I don't know if you are aware, but this is still occurring. Also, nsbb.com/forum is redirecting to http://www.northsidebaseball.comforum/ (note the missing slash)

Norton is still blocking the site homepage (northsidebaseball.com)

The past couple days, I haven't been able to load the NSBB homepage. Norton blocks it with the alert "Web Attack: Mass Injection Website 19". I can still load the forums directly, but the main homepage is a no-go.

Edgar Olmos? He was great in Battlestar Galactica.
-
Henderson? This guy here is dead.
-
Is that Rickey or Dave?
-
Gross. If there was one guy I really wanted the Cubs to stay away from it was Lackey. And the fact that the Cubs lose their first round pick while the Cardinals gain one is just more salt in the wound.
-
Well, that is one way to spin it, but tickets were still selling largely under face value on the secondary market. I don't think many people are making money on regular season tickets, especially after StubHub fees are accounted for.

After seeing may of the Cubs bats go cold in the playoffs, I started wondering whether there are any statistics that measure consistency in performance. It sure seems that players like Rizzo and Bryant have had huge up and down swings throughout the season. I would imagine that most players follow a similar pattern, but are there any stats that would measure the variance in a player's performance over the course of seasons? In other words, can we identify a guy whose rate stats were very stable over the entire season versus someone who fluctuated up and down to arrive at the same result? I don't know how much value, if any, there would be in such a measurement, since there are many other factors like the park, pitcher, weather, etc. that could impact results. I am really just curious whether anything exists, or has been attempted, to measure hitter consistency.

10/21 Mets (Matz) @ Cubs (Hammel) 7:07 pm TBS
Irrelevant Dude replied to soccer10k's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Nice outing Hammel.you better not be back on this team next year. -
This is just playoff baseball I guess. The Cubs could sign all the David Price's in the world and have the best starting staff in baseball and could lose again in the same way next year. There isn't anything that can be said like "If we just had Player X, then things would be different." It is a crap shoot in the playoffs and it just so happens that the Cubs are suddenly playing very poor baseball after an extended period of great baseball. Whatever happens tomorrow and the rest of this series... As long as this team can consistently get to the postseason, chances are they will eventually break through.
-
If the end result is the same, I'm not sure it really matters. In many ways, I could accept a 4 game sweep where everything went wrong more easily than I could a heartbreaking Game 7 loss.
-
Which may be in the wee hours of the morning if the forecast for rain holds true.
-
In a very small sample size, Matz's splits are nearly identical vs. Right/Left. Does Schwarber start tomorrow?
-
Never fear guys, if we get 2 runners on... LaStella!
