  1. I think you're double counting his IBB, it's already included under BB if you're looking at BBRef. Not that it makes an appreciable difference, he's at a .725 OPS if my math isn't messed up. League average OPS is about .760, to give a basic perspective. Not there yet, but a lot closer than he was. Iowa's actually the worst hitting team in the league (mostly due to park factors).
  2. Fun fact: There have only been 3 pitching seasons in major league history where the pitcher has posted a sub-.400 winning percentage, saved at least 12 runs, and led his league in ERA+. Samardzija's 2014 already counts, having saved 15 runs already up to today. The other two were Nolan Ryan's 1987 and Joe Magrane's 1988.
  3. All of them, including the OF the Cubs currently have in Iowa.
  4. Baez's season OPS up to .715, up from .498 two weeks ago. EDIT: Oh, right, we're doing gifs now. http://www.totalprosports.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/yankees-fan-excited-about-foul-ball-baseball-fan-gifs.gif
  5. Got a feeling Illinois is going to be on the wrong side of the bubble this year. Bad week to lose 2 of 3.
  6. I'd rather keep both and trade Barney. He'd totally be a long term answer. ...to the question "Who is the lightest-hitting infielder in baseball?"
  7. There are many things to like about this news.
  8. Lake just swung at a ball the catcher never had a shot at. EDIT: And then took a changeup knee high for strike 3.
  9. I can't believe the Blackhawks are losing the first road game of the series. That kind of thing never happens.
  10. There are at least 3 things wrong with this sentence, and I'm not even getting into the grammar and structure.
  11. When Kyle is the voice of patience and reason, it's a time to have a long hard look in the mirror.
  12. Reminds me of what the Bulls did to them in game 1 of 2011.
  13. I believe that was called "We have Patrick Kane and you don't."
  14. Rondon in to try to preserve the narrow margin (he's pitched once since the last game vs StL.)
  15. 17 runs is the most the Cubs have scored since August 14, 2009. So yes, this is the highest scoring game in the Theo era.
  16. We've got to be about even now, right? Currently sitting at -4.
  17. Even Barney with the 3 for 5 night to raise his average to .188.
  18. Valbuena still has around a .360 OBP this season, despite hitting just .217.
  19. Maybe go DE? Kareem Martin, perhaps?
  20. Kinda rooting for Tuitt to be there for the Bears' 2nd.
  21. Yes, keep drafting offensive players, everyone.
  22. It just struck me odd in reading, as the snippet to me reads "The Cubs need a pitcher, so look for them to get a college arm here." Not so much "the organization needs pitching", or "The Cubs are pitching-thin, so expect them to load up".
