    Since the Cubs have used 28 different batting orders in 39 games played so far, this is probably a pointless exercise. Fowler (1), Rizzo (3), Russell (9), pitcher spot (8) and now Bryant (2) have been pretty much set in stone, so it's still worthwhile to consider future lineup dynamics even though there's been constant rotation 5-7 and what would be changed by Baez's reinsertion into the lineup

    Hendricks (career) 1st time thru: .720 OPS against 2nd time thru: .521 3rd time thru: .780 periphs are perfectly fine, too; it's mostly just BABIP difference...i generally think early Hendricks hooks are management over-thinking it Isn't a 780 OPS against relatively high in a league with a collective 700 OPS? that's being driven by .361 BABIP, which isn't a rate you expect to continue

    Michigan stopped recruiting Coleman when D-III transfer Duncan Robinson committed i think that could have simply been a bird-in-the-hand situation (conversely, the Jaylen Brown pursuit probably cost us Kenny Williams), but imo Beilein targeting a player in the first place is a huge endorsement for their talent- nobody seems to scout better

    man, that has to be low-point of Kemp's career how embarrassing for him

    a little funny that Grimm's the pitcher of record

    must've been that Maddon didn't want Pads to see him 3x

    thought for sure that was headed for dongville

    Rizzo = Trout in WAR

    i guess both can technically be possible, but this is an amusing sentiment, after i've been hearing for years the strong media suggestion that free agents preferred not to play for Babcock because of his coaching style

    CBSSports kind of tried to make a mini-article of this one, single quote: good to know!

    what is it in particular you like? his 5.28 ERA? his 5.10 FIP? his 5.77 xFIP? the 6.49 FIP in '14?

    there's also the equation that Bosio + those guys = known dumpster fire, while Bosio + Medina = a world of possibilities Motte's last 47 appearances ('14-'15) have yielded a 5.96 FIP, and ownership of the 5th-most destructive RP WAR during that span; i strongly resent any suggestion that he can be a valuable part of this team

    still worlds more inspiring than Motte/Coke/Schlitter sacks of [expletive] try to think of this as endorsement for Schwarber as 'Plan B' and it's more exciting

    this is a great day for baseball

    i don't know Derrick Moncrief from Adam, but seems spectacularly shitty of Auburn to leverage his future simply to settle what seems like a petty personal beef (Michigan opening satellite camps in Alabama)
  24. sneakypower
    last 10 games: .361/.465/.472, 12% BB, 21% K (4/4 SB)

    Shelby Miller's periphs are middling; he's had a strong month filled with good fortune, probably not much more
