    I'm really starting to hate NL baseball.
  2. Sammy Sofa
    Glorious.

    Kinda love this comment:

    Please point out "the rush to get rid of him or give up on him." Potentially trading high isn't just dumping a guy. We know you can't, but go ahead and try anyway. And what's your problem with Valbuena? He's been a decent player. Is this like when you were bizarrely railing on DeJesus last year because of some imagine slight against Barney?

    He hasn't taken an "upswing since July;" he had a hot streak and is now back to stinking again. His third season showed little to no development offensively from the first two seasons and his dWAR has regressed back to what it was two seasons ago, helping him put up a NEGATIVE WAR for the season thus far. There's a "dip" and then there's just flat out having a terrible season after a seemingly stagnant offensive season the year before. And fielding percentage? Seriously? It's .976, and his other three seasons it's been .971, .971 and .970.

    His reputation is [expletive] right now (and was already pretty bad before this season); I wouldn't mind trading him either (which depresses the hell out of me), but I just don't think it's likely that the Cubs would get value back that outweighs the chance of bounceback (which, right now, holds more need/value to the Cubs than other teams based on what seems to be the perception of Castro).

    Not sure why you'd want to trade him with his value at its lowest and no ready-made replacement immediately ready to step in. Because: 1) We don't know that his value is at its lowest. Right now, his value incorporates the possibility that he bounces back and that he doesn't. If he doesn't, then his value goes lower. The whole "sell high/buy low" thing has become completely misunderstood. It's not misunderstood; just because his value can get lower doesn't mean that it isn't already low enough now to likely negate any real value you'd get in trading him. Sliding from crap to really crappy isn't necessarily a dealbreaker, especially when, again, you're talking about a player who the attitude about generally seems to be that he's really flawed and very possibly not panning out. He's basically stuck in this middle ground where it's not worth moving him.

    Not sure why you'd want to trade him with his value at its lowest and no ready-made replacement immediately ready to step in. Yeah, seems like you'd be trading for pennies on the dollar at this point. Outside of having a bad year, sure seems like the perception of Castro is pretty low around baseball.

    Plus his glove is big and sexy and OHGODTHINGSAREN'TWORKINGOUTLETSJUMPOFFOFALLOFTHEBRIDGES

    Rizzo has also been resoundingly unimpressive for a good stretch, too, and outside of an OBP spike in June has just gotten worse as the year has gone on. But he's walking at a decent clip, so I'm sure someone will tell me that makes everything else OK or something.
  11. Sammy Sofa
    I was ahead of the curve and pointed out how he was back to sucking a while ago. I've been weeping ever since.
  12. Sammy Sofa
    David catches as many little league games as he can. Might as well get to knowing those prospects as early as possible.
  13. Sammy Sofa
    so ... rizzo without the defense ...is what that one article thinks he might be, yes.
  14. Sammy Sofa
    I wanted to like him because of the JWebb Nation [expletive].
  15. Sammy Sofa
    He's slugging .500 so far in the second half. July: .288 .403 .423 .826 August: .364 .545 .545 1.091 With 18 walks. Definitely trending in the right direction...
  16. Sammy Sofa
    Hahahahahahaah! That was awesome, Fred.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    Why? They came so close to seeing baseball history.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    Is he the worst defensive catcher in baseball? He has to be in the bottom 5 BR has his dWAR at 2.3 this year, which means they just REALLY love his arm (and to be fair, that gif isn't indicative of where most of his defensive problems have been) or it just shows how bonkers defensive metrics are at this point.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    Thought it would be obvious enough how terrible that is without just going off of the deep end.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    Wow, Latos managed an 8-inning-shutout with only 94 pitches. That has to be some kind of a record.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    Man, possibly shut out AGAIN. What's the record for the least runs scored in nine innings?
  22. Sammy Sofa
    Man, the Cubs have only walked once this game. What's the record for least walks in a game?
  23. Sammy Sofa
    You're better than this.

    Considering that the world has only been tracking pitch counts for the last 20 years or so..... who knows ??? Yeah, surely it was a valid question in a game where the pitcher has thrown 76 pitches through 7 innings and not just the spastic flailing of That Guy.
