    Dolis's contact rate is absurd. Near 90%, and that's lowered as a result of two swinging strikes in one outing against the Dodgers Sunday.

    You're kidding, right? Please tell me you're playing a character or something. The role he's playing is called "realist" and it's typically played by someone who isn't still infatuated with a former ROY. The role is more "ignorant", as Soto has shown plenty of signs of getting better. It has nothing to do with infatuation and more to do with peripherals.

    In play, out(s)! Dolis just does not miss bats.

    Hey, the Cubs left a man on base for the first time today.
  5. bukie
    Hudson has given up 3 hits and faced the minimum.

    Aside from the contact rate, and the K rate, it's a fantastic approach.

    Fun fact: Alfonso Soriano has been both the worst hitting LF and the best fielding LF in the majors this season, and the only major league LF regular that has yet to hit a home run (Chone Figgins has 2).

    Week 6

    bukie replied to moochpuppy's topic in Fantasy Sports

    Carlos Ruiz in for an injured Ramon Hernandez.

    Stewart's fWAR is heavily influenced by his negative fielding and baserunning ratings.

    I'm going to have to print a fresh batch of fan club membership applications. I expect numbers to be growing very soon. Of course, it doesn't really mean that either of them have been good offensively (and oddly enough Ramirez seems to be rating better defensively early on). However, Stewart's peripheral stats are miles better and project for his improvement more than Ramirez's.

    As of today, Ian Stewart actually has a higher OPS than Aramis Ramirez. (.637 to .623)

    Also, FYI (and so I can find it easily when I need it), here is the article that details when specific statistics stabilize for a position player during the year: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/index.php/when-samples-become-reliable/

    He's 12th in baseball now in walk rate. Just behind Adam Dunn.
  14. bukie
    What are you talking about? Camp was ready to go.

    Also for those of you that were wondering, that was the first time this year the Cubs went back-to-back, and the first time since last August.
  16. bukie
    And to think the Cubs have the Mets beat on Pythagorean records.

    In play, out(s) is the Dolis way.
  18. bukie
    Gameday had ball 2 practically down the middle.
  19. bukie
    Come on, one more at-em ball...
  20. bukie
    In play, out(s)! Two down.
  21. bukie
    He's not due up until 7th unless the Dodgers get to cheat. Bah, I saw the pitcher was due up first and didn't realize they double switched.
  22. bukie
    In play, out(s)!
  23. bukie
    Kemp due up 4th in the 9th, so...a 1-2-3 inning would be fantastic. I just hope the hitters manage to hit everything at defenders. And that the defenders make the play right.
  24. bukie
    He's never going to hit for power, so the biggest thing holding him back at this point is his walk rate, which was atrocious coming into today.
  25. bukie
    Campana has some weird fascination with auto-bunting when a runner is on first.
