well that was a pretty shameful display by Borbon -
our starters collectively have the best team BABIP in baseball right now, at .263, so Feldman's .254 figure doesn't seem super crazy given his GB tendencies and our superlative IF defense: past 2 seasons Rizzo - 3rd-best UZR/150 (qualified): +11 Barney - best UZR/150 (qualified): +14 Valbuena - 2nd-best UZR/150 (min 800 inn): +24 (!) and Castro has gradually improved his problems with errors and may develop into a plus as well, from the average fielder he is now suffice it to say, it's a favorable setup for pitchers and if we can capitalize on a pitcher's (defense-aided) success by getting another team to overpay, i'm all for it (Shark, maybe Garza aside)

that might be the deepest i've ever seen a 2B catch a line drive
-
this has been a good day for platoons.
-
lol wut
-
for the past month, Castillo, Castro & Soriano all have better BB rates than Rizzo
-
he had an 84 G stretch in the middle of the season last year hitting .245/.283/.389 and finished it up with a 47 G stretch hitting .311/.370/.481 sure it's frustrating to watch on a day-by-day basis, but it's probably a little bit foolish to try making any sweeping conclusions from a relatively small sample like that
-
in 3 months, probably
-
only sacrifice flies are factored in OBP, the bunts don't matter should be .300/.300/.660 after that last AB by Wood i think we found the new market inefficiency
-
6 sac bunts & 55 PA
-
may we never speak of the DH again.
-
Valbuena, you boob, at least jog that out a little well, guess it doesn't matter now
-
more of Castillo being touched by a BIP angel
-
well, i'll be damned
-
ugh, not again, Castillo

Minor League Discussion & Boxes 5-30-13
sneakypower replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Hendricks came in the Dempster deal, right? i'll say him for sure since it's safe to say the FO probably saw something in him specifically they liked and he fits in better with the 'controlling the strike zone' mantra they've wanted to enact edit: found a pretty cool article on him (from yesterday) by Arguello http://www.chicagonow.com/cubs-den/2013/05/sleeper-prospect-kyle-hendricks-opening-some-eyes/ -
we must have felt guilty, to just let Seabrook walk in like that
-
Dioner Navarro's alone in 2nd place for team HRs
-
.636 to .871 OPS, all in a day's work
-
lol awesome
-
well i guess that's a potential benefit of bunting right there
-
152, up to .788 from .636
-
Castro swung at ball 4 there sigh
-
He had a ton of K's in ST I know and they supposedly attributed it to a new pitch/approach. Clearly another example of ST stats being meaningless April: 9% Ks May: 26% Ks pretty weird
-
is the wind really swirling or is Viciedo just that comical out there in left?
