    Pat Fitzgerald is always on full tilt in games against us, it sure seems
  2. sneakypower
    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
  3. sneakypower
    yikes, starting to lean Cam Newton over Cutty

    statcorner deemed him -24 runs last year, and basically the 2nd-worst framer in the game http://www.statcorner.com/CatcherReport.php

    it's Pat Fitzgerald day

    i wouldn't be too devastated by McCann money, minus a year, but i don't have intimate knowledge of our finances

    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

    - 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

    if he's a strong comparable to Griffin, he likely left $100+ million on the table by pursuing baseball

    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
  12. sneakypower
    Denard & Forsett
  13. sneakypower
    if deplorable contact rates throughout the minors are considered part of that recency, then i'm guilty as charged
  14. sneakypower
    he's had six RA9-WAR seasons
  15. sneakypower
    he's about to make some bodies turn cold
  16. sneakypower
    and as i recall, i think, he kinda liked it

    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
  19. sneakypower
    he's right, though; Jason La Canfora too closely resembles the Two and a Half Men kid to be taken seriously
  20. sneakypower
    that sweet 7-win difference between Vitters+Stewart and Ramirez in '12 is precisely why we have Kris Bryant right now
  21. sneakypower
    well as it turns out Edelman was a top-10 performer this week, so oops
