    wow that's a lot of Ks for Underwood

    Duke does not want to #makeBaseballFunAgain
  5. sneakypower
    if they start to put Zagunis back behind the plate then we'll talk
  6. sneakypower
    he goes like 7 innings on average so that's not likely to be a real big deal
  7. sneakypower
    the last 3 seasons he's hit 2% better than league average, which puts him roughly even with or better than 4-6 other starters in that lineup this year i love it
  8. sneakypower
    it's nice to think about our likely lineup next year, and how there'll be elite (probable top-3-in-NL) attributes at every single spot elite hitting: Contreras/Schwarber(?), Rizzo, Zobrist, Bryant, Schwarber elite fielding: Rizzo, Russell, Bryant/Baez, Almora, Heyward

    in 420 PA

    vs LHP Russell has 16% BB/29% K and vs RHP Javy has 1%/24% rates so i'm far more confident Addi can fix his weak split
  12. sneakypower
    Hall for Larsson is easily worse
  13. sneakypower
    it's encouraging for sure but he's been sheltered; his splits vs. RHP are fairly horrid
  14. sneakypower
    Tyler Holt turned around completely on that flyout...you don't often see OFs doing 360s
  15. sneakypower
    i guess this is as good a time as any to remind all that last year Schwarber was on a 124/45/109, 86 BB pace (.255/.362/.529) in the half season he played in the bigs

    i don't know if this is really illustrative; Cubs have gotten: 3.64 WAR / 650 PA from non-Bryant LF 3.36 WAR / 650 PA from non-Bryant 3B so there's a clear (and massive) benefit that's been achieved by putting otherwise mediocre[1] players in advantageous positions; and you can also surely attribute Joe Maddon Alchemy to this, gaining added platoon advantage[2] this way [1] ZiPS preseason WAR projections / 650 PA: Javier Baez: 2.35 Jorge Soler: 1.52 Tommy La Stella: 1.52 Albert Almora: 1.37 Chris Coghlan: 0.90 Matt Szczur: 0.81 [2] deployment vs. strong-side pitching: vs. LHP (league average 26%) Szczur: 38%, .871 OPS Baez: 30%, .931 OPS Soler: 40% vs. RHP (league average 74%) La Stella: 89%, .896 OPS Coghlan: 91%

    fixed
  18. sneakypower
    this is the best game
  19. sneakypower
    this is amazing, Joe rules
  20. sneakypower
    is that the RH top-2 pick 3B who moved to LF and averaged 32/102 during his prime
  21. sneakypower
    i forgot to mention he's top-3 overall in baserunning value since the start of last year, but that's like whatever, in comparison to the other stuff
  22. sneakypower
    Contreras: .355/.453/.680 Bryant: .274/.365/.592 Happ: .326/.425/.509 Vogelbach: .298/.421/.580 Zagunis: .330/.420/.548 Rice: .311/.400/.615
  23. sneakypower
    i'm calling this guy Motel Shower (only runs scorching hot / ice cold)
  24. sneakypower
    he was right to try advancing there and just ran into bad luck with the ump blocking the ball, Coghlan is the real scourge for not following him to take 2B which would've put the game into extras with the 2-out hit
  25. sneakypower
    Lamb to the slaughter
