    Why? The reliever is a righty.
  2. bukie
    Johnson lasts just 5 1/3, throwing 90 pitches.
  3. bukie
    I'm a little concerned that Jeff Samardzija's welcome to the major leagues will be Hanley Ramirez.

    Finally a somewhat efficient inning for Dempster. Should be all for him, though.
  5. bukie
    With a name like Hoover, he's either got to be a great defender, or a heavy eater.
  6. bukie
    Finally working Johnson a bit here.
  7. bukie
    Reed Johnson now has 5 HRs on the year, 4 of them against righties.

    How many so far vance? 69 pitches through 4 for Demp. If he can get a couple of 15 pitch innings, there's still a possibility of 7.
  9. bukie
    And right on cue, three straight strikes to the 8 hitter and he's out of the inning.
  10. bukie
    Dempster's thrown 1 strike in his last 12 pitches, and somehow has two outs to show for it.
  11. bukie
    I'd enjoy nothing more than seeing him pitch the 8th and 9th of an 10-2 game today. Preferably one that the Cubs were winning.

    So, hopefully, you'll start the game thread after next year's first loss.

    It seems that teams have adjusted to Marmol by largely never swinging at the slider and waiting for a mistake fastball. As long as Marmol can throw the slider for strikes, he's unstoppable.
  14. bukie
    Total of 5 balls to 4 batters is a nice ratio, so far.

    From the thread title I was thinking UMfan was channelling all his pessimism towards the Brewers.

    The best thing that could happen would have been the Cubs winning more than 1 of 3 in the desert. I'm not talking about the Cubs. Your point is so obvious it doesn't really need to be made. You would think so, but there are a lot of people around here who neglect to remember the Cubs aren't dependent on any other team to win the division.

    Williams only had 10 at bats in '52 and 91 in '53. FINE, '41 THEN :P Ted Williams, July of 1957: .440/.579/.893/1.472 Williams' September of '57 was unconscious, but he only got 33 PA.

    It's also quite possible that Ted Williams (1.410 OPS in 1953, 1.400 OPS in 1952) or Babe Ruth (1.382 OPS in 1920, 1.358 OPS in 1921, 1.309 OPS in 1923) had months that good, but nobody has the split information that far back (BR has it as far back as 1956).

    Sosa had a .298/.331/.842/1.173 line that June. While quite impressive, considering there have been 30 players who have a higher OPS than that for an entire Season(including Sosa in 2001), I don't think it ranks that highly for greatest months for a hitter. Without going through his entire career, Sosa's best month is probably August of 2001. .385/.469/.936/1.405. Barry Bonds put up a .472/.696/1.132/1.828 line in April of 2004, that's probably up there for all time best months. That was the best OPS month in history. Here are the other top months (as of 2004...I don't think anyone has had a month that good since then...anyone?): http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=2826

    In June of 1998, Sosa had a .331 OBP, to total a 1.173 OPS. Barry Bonds, in 2002, had a 1.381 OPS for the year. In that year, in August, Bonds had a .447 BA, a .621 OBP, and a .961 SLG to toal a 1.581 OPS.

    I just hope this is one that finally gets the offense off the slide, and kicks the team into gear for the second half. 8 important games coming up in the next week+.
  23. bukie
    Chris Young can only hit fastballs. Bob Howry can only throw fastballs. Bad combination.
  24. bukie
    Why am I not comfortable now? Oh yeah, I remember the last time the Cubs had a 7 run lead in the 8th with Howry and Marmol coming up. C'mon Howry, do something well tonight.
  25. bukie
    I think this indicates a broken system when it actually makes sense for a team to do this.
