    Not even Bonifacio has good stats as a hitter?

    I guess I don't hate it with red shorts and socks, but it also looks even more like a bomb pop.

    Ladies and gentlemen, the first casualty of National Jump to Conclusions week.

    Shark upped his trade value? And Castro took a walk. That's it. Everything else sucked. Bonifacio reached base four times. And stayed on base twice.

    That joke has jumped the...shark. It's not like it's ever going to...Strop. But it really....Olt to. Well, let's just hope the Cubs...Russell up some offense quickly, then.

    Is Travis Snider especially fast? They seem really concerned that he'll steal 2nd.

    eh, giving up an out isn't cool Except in certain situations...like the ones he mentioned i still don't think bunting increases the odds of scoring a single run depends on a lot of things. i obviously wouldn't advocate doing it with good hitters. Is there a hitter on the Cubs that stands out as good above the rest?

    It would seem that the situation is...Grimm.

    He's the closer. He's used when the Cubs get a lead. You'll see him in a couple weeks.
  11. bukie
    Yeah, you're essentially sandbagging the chance for more than one run while increasing the chance for one run. Only advisable when one run will win it, which is pretty much the case right now.

    It's a 0-0 game in the 9th. Castillo is arguably the Cubs best hitter. ...one can say that about almost the entire lineup, though.
  13. bukie
    Because it's opening day, and a long season.

    Those pitchers are going to get a stern talking to through the media by Ryno. Just surprised Ryno didn't throw the challenge on Rios' HR for not playing the game the right way.
  15. bukie
    So...what have we learned thus far on National Jump to Conclusions Day ?
  16. bukie
    I am all on board if the only thing Castro needed to hear was "Starlin, it's OK to swing at the first pitch if it's hittable. Knock yourself out."

    Cubs have only drafted 1 HS pitcher in the first round since 1997 (Mark Pawelek - 2005). Prior to that, the Cubs actually drafted four consecutive HS pitchers with their 1st round picks (1997 - Jon Garland, 1996 - Todd Noel, 1995 - Kerry Wood, 1994 - Jayson Peterson). Which actually provides a good example of the volatility of drafting a HS pitcher.

    Only three of the past 16 1 seeds have made the Final Four. The prior two did win it all.
  19. bukie
    Yep, counting on Braun being suspended again purely on spite.
  20. bukie
    More firsts: - First time Bo Ryan's Wisconsin team has beaten a team seeded higher than them. - First time Northwestern has beaten a Final Four team on the road (seriously, most inexplicable result of the year, easy).
  21. bukie
    Wisky has now beaten Arizona, Florida, Virginia, Michigan and MSU this season.
  22. bukie
    Thanks to Wisky tonight, if Michigan wins tomorrow, my 6yo son is going to win $500 for his bracket.
  23. bukie
    Or Arizona can get the ball and not take a shot.
  24. bukie
    Hell, if Wisconsin gets the ball here, just toss the ball on the Wisconsin side of the court. AZ is out of timeouts and won't get a shot off in 2 seconds.
  25. bukie
    Got to agree with Gasaway as to Wisconsin's last possession in regulation. ‏@JohnGasaway 2m I understand hero-ball is the custom in that situation, but I thought we were clear by this point on who the hero should be.
