  1. tell me why (i don't like Mundy)
  2. Cardiac Cats
  3. not if these refs can help it
  4. steamer is alright, oliver is garbage
  5. Jameis Winston isn't still a first-rounder, is he
  6. Pat Fitzgerald is always on full tilt in games against us, it sure seems
  7. Brady Hoke's offense acts like it's trying to milk a 4th quarter lead and first downs are just gravy if you can get 'em
  8. yikes, starting to lean Cam Newton over Cutty
  9. statcorner deemed him -24 runs last year, and basically the 2nd-worst framer in the game http://www.statcorner.com/CatcherReport.php
  10. it's Pat Fitzgerald day
  11. he does yoga? make that 5/80
  12. i wouldn't be too devastated by McCann money, minus a year, but i don't have intimate knowledge of our finances
  13. And the years before this one? I'm ok with signing Martin, but I'm not ok with going crazy to do it. in 2013, he was a 4+ win player, even ignoring framing - we didn't have a 4-win player that year - his BB rate would have been 2nd on the Cubs that year bonus: our backup C had less than -1 WAR this season; 40 games of Castillo would project as a multiple-win upgrade over that, to say nothing of the monumental upgrade at the starter role
  14. - fangraphs doesn't care about pitch framing and they considered Russell Martin 5+ WAR player this year; Rizzo was the only Cubs hitter above 3 - Martin was 2nd in the NL in OBP - his BB rate would have led the Cubs this year and then you start to look into pitch framing, where he's assuredly a multitude of runs/wins better than what we had behind the plate
  15. if he's a strong comparable to Griffin, he likely left $100+ million on the table by pursuing baseball
  16. i actually do have a long-standing unfounded theory about teams comprised of high-contact players faring much better in the postseason, which is anecdotally supported by some of the successes that guys like Sandoval, Carpenter, Ortiz, Eckstein, Scutaro have had but 2011 Texas sort of runs counter to that theory, some
  17. Denard & Forsett
  18. if deplorable contact rates throughout the minors are considered part of that recency, then i'm guilty as charged
  19. he's about to make some bodies turn cold
  20. and as i recall, i think, he kinda liked it
  21. http://www.elevenwarriors.com/sites/default/files/styles/489x275/public/c/2014/03/34263_h.png?itok=a7-aOGBL
  22. lost by 2, now left with an uphill climb for playoff contention and i'm left cursing stupid [expletive] like Mike McCoy's decision to go for it on 4th down instead of taking the points
  23. he's right, though; Jason La Canfora too closely resembles the Two and a Half Men kid to be taken seriously
