    Years don't work like that.

    The article is optimistic enough, but the comments are everything I hate about baseball. Possibly the most meatball set of comments in article history.

    Seems weird to me to be pulled midgame with the cubs on an off day. Could be Ruggiano headed to the DL, and they needed him for tomorrow since the Cubs insist on carrying 13 pitchers.

    Fun stat. Last year, Dave Toub went to the KC Chiefs to be their Special Teams coordinator, and their weighted DVOA for special teams went from 22nd to 1st overall.

    Huh. Would not have guessed that. I said that in the game thread. :P

    Javier Baez has had 82 at bats this season. Matt Carpenter has had 490. They have had the same amount of home runs (7). Same trick works for Yadier Molina, Allen Craig, Bryce Harper, Brandon Phillpis, Russell Martin, Gerardo Parra and Yonder Alonso.

    Iowa is currently 4 games out of a playoff spot (thanks to an 8 game losing streak). Their elimination number is 6.

    A's acquire GEOVANY SOTO from the Rangers for cash.

    As much as I've enjoyed the pompous attitude and sheer ignorance of the Cubs team by the Oriole fans around the net, I have to give a shout out to the Orioles SB Nation site for titling their game thread today "Don't go chasin' Wada balls".

    Castro back from bereavement list, Watkins to Iowa (for Tuesday, August 26).

    Cubs are 45-45 since May 16.

    Tried to bunt Coughlan over to 3rd, and popped up the bunt.
  13. bukie
    Well, now there's no reason to leave him in too long.

    103 pitches is Wada's career high, he's never gone more than 7 innings.
  15. bukie
    Wada's pitch count is pretty high for the 6th inning, though. 88 pitches through 6, what's his MLB career high?
  16. bukie
    O's hangout can't understand how they can lose to an NL team. Giving up a HR to a guy that has 3 HR's all year. (Never mind that he's been up in the bigs for about 6 weeks total)
  17. bukie
    It amuses me that since the July 4 trade, Hendricks and Wada have been clearly better pitchers than Samardzija and Hammel, so much so that the Cubs' staff hasn't missed a beat.

    Cubs now have more runs scored than the Padres...and the Cardinals, Reds and Red Sox.
  19. bukie
    The Cubs are 7-8 in that stretch.
  20. bukie
    If Baez goes 1 for 5 with a HR and 4 Ks every game...I can deal with that.

    Current standings for protected 2015 picks: Top 10 (protected) picks ------------------------------ # Team W L GA ------------------------------ 1 Texas 49 78 10 2 Colorado 50 77 9 3 Arizona 54 75 6 4 Houston 55 74 5 5 Chicago NL 56 72 3.5 5 Boston 56 72 3.5 7 Philadelphia 57 71 2.5 8 Minnesota 57 70 2 9 Chicago AL 59 69 0.5 10 San Diego 59 68 0 ------------------------------ 11 New York NL 60 69 - 12 Cincinnati 61 68 - Meaning if the Cubs pass another 5 teams, they'd lose their pick if they signed a top flight FA this offseason (except for special cases, like Lester).
  22. bukie
    No, technically Boston has 2 more runs than the Cubs since they've scored 3 tonight.
  23. bukie
    Padres are definitely one of them. I'm guessing the other one is somebody you wouldn't expect...Pirates? Pirates are actually 4th in the NL in runs scored behind Colorado, Milwaukee and Washington.
  24. bukie
    Random Cubs trivia: Name the two teams in MLB that have scored fewer runs than the Cubs this season.
  25. bukie
    I was greatly amused at how much they said the opposite of what was true about the Cubs.
