    But power hitters like Mabry tend to strike out frequently. Adam Dunn strikes out a lot, too, but his walks and homeruns more than make up for the whiffs. comparing Mabry to Adam Dunn is a pretty bad comparison. Both are left-handed. Both can play the outfield and first base. What's the difference?

    Racist.

    Don't worry. Dusty has him on a strict 160 pitch limit.

    I actually wasn't disappointed at the walk to Williams. I was going to joke and say Williams might wear himself out running the bases, but it looks like that's what happened.

    For real? I would hope that it was because people were pissed at the team, but its likely the weather keeping people on. Kinda sad that I am actually hoping that our fans don't show up to games, but here we are. Sections 101-104 are almost empty.

    Plenty of good seats still available.

    Aramis is the main reason we've been losing.

    It's too cold for FIRE! and INTENSITY!

    The wind was blowing in. I would have called for a bunt, personally.
  11. cheapseats
    At least it was close. ...wait

    This makes a lot of sense actually. We are lacking 2B on this team. One thing is for certain though. Prior would give you more offense than Perez. and it would remove the need to trade for Robinson Cano.

    Don't worry. One run isn't enough to win the game today. ...oh wait

    Guzman plunks Dave Roberts! Maybe that will give the Cubs some FIRE! and INTENSITY!
  15. cheapseats
    That would give us FIRE! and INTENSITY! Pierre would start hitting doubles off the right-center wall. Neifi Perez would be jacking homeruns onto Waveland. Aramis Ramirez would be running out groundballs. Matt Murton would flip his bat and show up opposing pitchers after going deep. Ronny Cedeno would squint a lot more. A brawl would make them see the ball better, understand the value of a walk, and hit the ball further. Egnius!

    There was a recent article in BP that showed lefty/righty splits are much more pronounced for sluggers. Slap-hitting contact guys like Pierre see little difference in lefty/righty splits.

    I feel the same way on both counts. Of course there are many here who think our sorry roster would suddenly start winning ballgames if we had a manager who showed FIRE! and INTENSITY!

    Yes, I'm pretty sure that I read that batting order is essentially meaningless. That's overstating it just a bit. If you run today's lineup through a simulator, you'll see there's about a one-run difference between the best possible order and the worst possible order. However, no manager, not even one as inept as Dusty, will ever pencil in the worst possible batting order (ie, pitcher hitting first, etc). Are you sure it's that much? It can be as much as a 2 run differential (if I understand you right)? I really don't recall the particulars of what I read and couldn't find anything doing a quick google search. Do you have a link? I've got to go to a business meeting, but here's a nice toy to play with: http://www.baseballmusings.com/cgi-bin/LineupAnalysis.py It's crude, but it gives you an idea of how much (or how little) batting order matters.

    What do you think :)

    Generally, we like to have 9 guys playing defense instead of 8. If Murton platoons with Jacque, there's no one in left field.
  22. cheapseats
    no

    In between meals Ha ha. Kruk is fat.

    SMALL BALLS WINS BALLGAME!

    He's a prospect, he can't hit. :roll: Dusty, a staunch believer in social cognitive theory, thinks Theriot will learn to hit by observing others hitting.
