    I do see the defensive advantage it provides, especially with Lester's unique baserunner needs.

    Huh, Bryant getting the day off.

    Ahh yes, the guy who said he was good at drunk driving because he did it so often and hadn't killed himself yet.

    Which of these things did he not do in his debut? Castro was 2 for 5 in his debut.

    USMNT gets by far the easiest semifinal qualifying group with T&T, Guatemala and St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

    The Cubs have eliminated the Braves from NL Wild Card contention. The Cubs are now 99.6% to make the playoffs, with the Nats 0.3% and Giants 0.1% to snag the wild card. The Cubs are now 10 times more likely to win the division than miss the playoffs.

    Because "too many shortstops" isn't an actual problem.

    Unsustainably good things can happen for 140 games, even across a whole team. Two years ago there were lots of Cardinals fans trying to explain their RISP hitting by crediting the approach, but not so much when it regressed the next year. But yes, please tell Cubs fans more about how insecure they are in a game thread with a rival team on a Cubs website. I'm not sure the level of condescension he's been displaying is sustainable.

    then we're back to the too man IF problem i really really am going ot have a hard time trusting castro ever again especially after he looked legitimately improved last year and then pulled this [expletive] I read a pretty amazing article about his struggles and how much they were do to being pitched differently and being slow to adjust. I can't find a link now though.

    If Javy can be Alfonso Soriano without age and defense issues, that would work out just fine.
  11. bukie
    Javy .316

    Unfortunately that's pretty much impossible. We're playing them in the NLDS if at all. Unless the Dodgers pass them.

    Depends on Pirates results too.
  14. bukie
    I vote the Cubs just don't lose anymore.
  15. bukie
    Their pitching has overachieved to amazingly unsustainable proportions. Their offense hasn't really been able to hit much this year.
  16. bukie
    There's no reason not to use Castro at 2B, Baez at 3B, Bryant in RF and Schwarber in LF.

    Jamaica will be eliminated from WC18 qualifying tonight unless they win by at least two goals in Nicaragua.
  18. bukie
    Then he outplays Roger for much of the second set and falls in another tiebreaker.
  19. bukie
    Probably yeah, we lose that game and we're creeping very close to .500 and at that point all confidence is gone Only for you, since you lose confidence when the Cubs bring in a new reliever to a 6-1 game.

    Maybe I'm missing what you meant but the Giants series didn't start until August 6th. We won on the 29th too (Lester 14 K game I was at), so since that ugly Beeler start vs. the Rockies (that I was also at unfortunately) to drop to 52-47, it's 27-10. BREWERS was the first four gamer. They were 2.5 games behind the Giants going into the Brewers series.

    On the morning of July 30, going into a 4 game set against the Giants, the Cubs were 53-47, 2.5 games behind the 56-45 Giants for the second wild card. Since then, the Cubs have gone 26-10 while the Giants have gone 15-22.
  22. bukie
    Man how much more do we have to do to get to 99.9%? Fangraphs remains convinced that Washington is a .620 winning percentage ball club. Fangraphs isn't factoring Matt Williams into their calculations. EDIT: Fangraphs redid their calculations again. 98.8% to make the playoffs and 2.3% to win the division.
  23. bukie
    Current teams eliminated: - NL Wild Card: Philadelphia has been eliminated - NL Central: Cincinnati and Milwaukee have been eliminated
  24. bukie
    Cubs up to a 1.6% chance of winning the division. 98.6% chance of making the playoffs.
  25. bukie
    Cubs back to a season-high 22 games over .500.
