    Holy crap, he's little!

    Damn! Nice AB by Valbuena. I guess that's payback for the dribblers that have been hits all night.

    Sure would be nice to have Schierholtz available about now.

    The worse ones were the ones in the same spot Wainwright got 2 strikes on Sappelt with.

    Neck tattoo.

    You'll be even more pissed when you go look at his MiLB numbers.

    The one that Valbuena put in the basket last night would have been on Sheffield on any night without wind blowing in. He smoked it and it went pretty high and really got knocked down by the wind a lot. Also, it would be nice if Wainwright didn't get the old Maddux zone. BARNEY!

    That goes as a hit, yet last night Castro didn't get one. Our official score guy sucks. It should go as a hit but the run should be unearned on an error for not picking the damn ball up.

    Eh. I'd buy that argument if we found a horseshoe once in a while, but we never do. It probably has to do with the Cardinals being a far superior organization to our Cubs. Theo and Jed are here to change that. They're currently hitting ~.026 higher than any team ever has with RISP.

    Had a great angle on that from your seats. That was a hell of a pick by Castro and by Rizzo. Thanks for the tickets, had a great time.

    I'm talking a no risk pick up. After Garza's gone, there's going to be a rotation opening. If Villanueva is traded that makes two. I'd at least prefer giving Bosio a chance to work with Jurrjens than cycling through another round of Germanos, Berkens, and whomever else. Baker and Arrieta say hi. Also, that's exactly what Jurrjens is, another Germano type.

    Yeah, the top end potential and extensive time off for Soler has to be taken into account. Alcantra will end up at a bit more important defensive position at 2B, but Soler's power potential still has me sold. Plus I'm still a little leery of Alcantra's ability to continue switch hitting and who knows what hitting from the same side of the plate against all pitchers will do to him. It's not as far apart as prospect rankings will say though.

    Not only that, I think they're hitting better than the all time record for average with RISP. Assuming I searched correctly on B-R, it's 26 points better than any team in history has ever done. They're at .338 coming into today and the second best is the 1950 Red Sox at .312. That sounds like what I heard on the radio down here the other day. As poorly as they hit in the first month of the season, they've had that ridiculous RISP number from day 1.

    Shocking to see some Cardinal have uncalled for red ass over nothing. :roll:

    Outside of the passed ball last night where I think he got crossed up, Castillo's been doing a much better job of blocking balls and framing pitches lately.

    What are you talking about?

    THAT'S NOT WHAT THEY'RE DOING YOU TOOL!

    Too bad it doesn't happen as often as it used to. He had a 3.6 fWAR last year and 32 HR... Right, but there's a lot fewer other hits sprinkled into the hot streaks and they don't last as long. .821 OPS as opposed to the .875-.900 he'd put up in his really good seasons.
  21. mul21
    Yeah, I hadn't really put a number on it like that in my mind, but he's one of the few guys with power we have and the money is already spent. He's not blocking anybody, so unless you get somebody worthwhile back, there's no point in sending him off just to get rid of him.
  22. mul21
    No [expletive]! 8 HR, 17 RBI and hitting .400 in the last 11. Too bad it doesn't happen as often as it used to.

    Maybe part of that broken past contributed to an inability to be allowed into Canada. More on Lang's broken past: http://www.idahostatesman.com/2013/07/08/2646581/lang-faces-a-different-struggle.html Maybe one of the two Treys don't have their passport. That was a problem for the great Mark Pawelek. Canada won't let you in if you have a DUI in (I think) the last 10 years, so that could certainly be a possibility.

    Keep going, this could turn into something fun like the Germans bombing Pearl Harbor.

    I think this is ridiculous. He may well have been taken advantage of by Zell, but it certainly wasn't due to naivety. I'm much more inclined to believe it was due to the fact that he was the only one that wanted the Cubs badly enough to agree to the deal as it's structured. Isn't that naivety? Wouldn't you wait it out until he caved in to your terms, if you were the last true, willing bidder? No, I think that's blind love for a new shiny toy. I'm sure they knew exactly what they were getting into. They're financial guys for the love of god, they understand these things.
