    Cubs' pen today: 3.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 4 K

    And the best part is one of them is guaranteed to be there at 6.

    Apparently Illinois did match and Chew bolted for Marquette anyway, since he's apparently buds with Williams. Weird situation. Hmm, where are you reading that? I'm reading the other thing. Peoriaman also saying we never had a contract in place with him. What the hell? From Klee: http://www.illinihq.com/sports/illini-sports/mens-basketball/2012-05-29/chew-marquette-and-explains-why.html

    Soriano has walked twice and Castro has walked once, the zone is very small.

    LaHair helping out the pitcher by swinging at a garbage pitch, on a day where the strike zone is about 6 inches square.

    Mather helping out the pitcher by swinging at two garbage pitches, on a day where the strike zone is about 6 inches square.

    And to say he made Nick Hundley look silly would give disproportionate value to all other uses of the word silly.

    Three of the four pitches to Quentin were in the zone on Gameday, and Alonso swung at the second pitch.

    My theory about Hawk is that he's not actually silent when the opposing team does something good, he's just swearing up a storm in the booth and the network just mutes him for five minutes.

    Marmol is going to have to throw a lot more obvious strikes before an umpire is ever going to give him something borderline.

    At this point, if Castro is going to hit 2nd, it should be some form of LaHair/Soriano/Stewart at 3-4-5 with Mather hitting on occasion in place of the pitcher.
  14. bukie
    Yep, he just increased his walk rate by 25%.
  15. bukie
    Well, comparatively, it was a pretty low bar.

    The Cubs are 1-1 when Dempster allows at least 4 runs in a start, and 0-6 when he allows fewer.
  17. bukie
    Yes.

    So, NBA lottery tonight! For me, the biggest story is to see if someone jumps Golden State, because then they'd have spent the entire second half of the season tanking for nothing, as they'd lose their first round pick.

    It was inspired by a conversation I had at work today, which resulted in a surprising number of legitimate contenders for most terrible baseball stat. Enough that I thought it would actually make a good poll here, for a change.
  20. bukie
    There are plenty to choose from, but if you could abolish just one stat, which would it be?

    Even if Scotland's not good, they're still better than all but maybe 3 other teams in CONCACAF (Mexico/Honduras/Costa Rica), so it's really nice to see them blow someone away that's better than the competition they'll be facing in qualifying the next 6 months.

    Maybe Henry Blanco? He wore 24, and there's an outside shot that it's supposed to be a 24..
  23. bukie
    I'd go with 150 tops, preferably as spread out as possible throughout the year rather than shutting him down in August.

    To be fair, Castro is 22, and Miguel Cabrera got traded before his 25th birthday after making 4 All-Star games. I don't see what the state of the team has to do with trading Castro though. Either the risk/reward of multiple prospects are more valuable than Castro or they aren't. The fact that the team has a lot of holes to fill shouldn't have anything to do with it. Either way, the players who are here will be here at least 4 years (Castro) and probably 10+ years so the Cubs will have plenty of time to build around them in other ways. And I don't see much that should make the Cubs want to trade Castro right now. 2 elite prospects probably wouldn't be worth it IMO. Actually, Cabrera is the perfect example for why not to trade Castro. Look at the supposed return the Marlins got for him.

    I harken back to all those other times in MLB history 21 year old all stars were traded to improve their teams... ...nope, not once.
