  1. My, you are just full of declarations.
  2. Thank you for proving me wrong, Marmol.
  3. Len thankfully counters with a watchable movie.
  4. Now I definitely don't want him as manager.
  5. You honestly think Sam Fuld would out-produce him in the same time period?
  6. BUT THAT'S HOW IT'S DONE. 1 GAME, NO FURTHER PROOF NEEDED, I REST MY CASE ON YOUR FACE.
  7. Should be leading off for good.. I know no one is used to seeing out leadoff man get on base, but that's how it's done. Weren't you just complaining about people saying good things about kosuke after one good game? You know Fuld was OPSing in the .700's in AAA, right? FUNDAMENTALS, DOOD.
  8. Who knew that the answers were Bob Brenly and Sam Fuld?
  9. Just making sure the same rules apply to all posters. :cool: Don't worry about us.
  10. Dammit, this game should easily be 5-1 or 6-1.
  11. So he'll learn how to hit again by not playing? FUNDAMENTALS.
  12. I don't think they would have run on Soriano there. Shhhhhh, don't disturb him with reality.
  13. Which means it's impossible to prove either way the effect Fuld had on the pitcher.
  14. What manager isn't "about findamental baseball?" Where are these radical non-fundamental managers?
  15. This guy LOVES him some Brenly.
  16. I never said he was one-dimensional. I said he was too reliant on small ball, something this team is nowhere near being equipped to pull off. The Cubs have had their most success over the last decade when they kept the "small ball" to a minimum. The "small ball" teams that win it all seem to never actually be about the small ball and actually win it due to power, timely hitting and great pitching. Well, Brenly would not be managing this team, so it really doesn't make any sense to say what he would do with this bunch. Yes, he would. This Cubs team is not going to be looking drastically different next season. Besides, how do you know that Hendry, or whoever if he were replaced, would be able to get the players that best compliment Brenly's preferred style? Maybe those player simply aren't available. It's not smart to build a team around a manager since their positive impact is arguably negligible and in this town they tend to not be around too long in the first place. Trying to tailor a team to "small ball" is up there with the myopic quests to "catch the ball better," "get more speed" or "get more left handed."

  18. No need to be flippant. I thought this was a pretty tame and decent discussion going on. And it was an excellent way to point out the fallacy of assuming that small ball was responsible for the Diamondbacks' WS or their offensive output that year. No, an excellent way would be to tell me in detail why you hold your opinion. The moustache comment was flippant. It's an analogy. Why don't you and ChiCubsFan start detailing how small ball won the WS for the Diamondbacks?
