    Whiners for days.

    The last option out of the bullpen isn't lights out dominant? Unacceptable!

    He was solidly above average last year without accounting for (elite) pitch framing even slightly. Yeah, this was one of the biggest cases of recency bias I've seen in a while, and Ski is posting tonight.

    54 pitches through 3.

    Grant Brisbee writing about Clayton Kershaw and his 5 walks: http://www.sbnation.com/mlb/2016/5/31/11819168/clayton-kershaw-five-walks-wut The whole article is hilarious, but some highlights: - Here is the plot zone on the only 4 pitch walk Kershaw has allowed this year: - "Left-handed hitters are hitting .REPENT/.YE/.SINNERS against Kershaw this year, so it's probably not much of a surprise that it took him four starts to walk a lefty." - "A walk to Joey Votto should count as a half-walk on a pitcher's record. I mean, if we're going to adjust stats like OPS+ and ERA- for park and league averages, there's no way we should blame a pitcher entirely for walking Votto."

    The White Sox offense is a special kind of terrible, especially for an AL team.

    With his performance so far, he's right there in the discussion with guys like Machado, Trout, Harper, Fowler and Bryant.

    Despite their performance to this point, I still think the Dodgers are the 2nd or 3rd best team in the NL (Nats are right there too), so this is as meaningful to me as that Nats series was.

    Todd Frazier has a .797 OPS to this point with the White Sox. That's good enough to lead the team in OPS.

    I have a suspicion that Pedro Strop and Hector Rondon are his least favorite members of the pitching staff, if you catch my drift.

    Yet throughout the highlight, Thommy sounds incredulous that Simon would get tossed for that, as if the Reds deserved that payback.

    The Cubs +131 run differential after 48 games is the best in the divisional era, ahead of the 1984 Tigers who were at +112 through 48. It's the fifth best 48-game differential in the World Series era, after the 1929 A's (152), 1939 Yankees (145), 1912 Giants (143) and 1905 Giants (141). In the wildcard era, the 1998 Yankees are the next best with a +109 differential, while they were 37-11 at this point in the season.

    You can find weird statistical anomalies for any team if you look hard enough. You just tend to look really hard at the Cardinals.

    It's going to be really disappointing when they bunker the first 45 against Colombia.
  16. bukie
    It's a friendly, and it's the CONMEBOL minnow, but that's the best they've looked against a South American team in, like, ever.
  17. bukie
    Well, they looked better than Bolivia in that first half.

    They're still new to the whole analytics thing. Things that everyone said about the Cubs 5 years ago.

    Two outs, single brings in a run if he's safe, Soler still hits next inning if he's out.

    The only National League position players that have a higher fWAR than Kris Bryant? Dexter Fowler and Ben Zobrist.

    Illinois has dismissed Kendrick Nunn from the basketball team. Sucks for team performance, but absolutely the right thing to do.

    Lately pitchers have been throwing tons of strikes, making the Cubs hit to win, and the babip and sequencing haven't been overly kind this week.

    Does Paypal take a flat amount or a %?

    So...that Odor was so strong, Bautista felt it?
  25. bukie
    I'll look into that. http://www.reactiongifs.com/r/scsc.gif
