Still having him, having traded for Chapman knowing who he is, AND then going out and trading for Murphy knowing who he is are bad, bad, bad looks for the Cubs. They need to be a LOT better. Russell needs to be gone ASAP.
-
This seems REALLY generous for what will be a 35-year old pitcher who has been mostly serious butt for his two most recent seasons.
-
4 September, and ~20 non-September, no? hamels' total 2018 xfip is 2nd best on the cubs That just speaks more to how bad the rotation was for the first half+ as opposed to how good an option Hamels is in the playoffs. In the end they're gonna have to gauge whether it's more likely that everyone else's recent success is a fluke and they're likely to regress to first half levels, or that Hamels HAS already regressed to how he was before he was traded. -
you're putting too much emphasis on 4 september starts to put hamels all the way down to 4th imo Well, it's those 4 starts, plus how he performed before coming to the Cubs AND how he performed in 2017, too. His last 4 starts are right line line with Bad Hamels, so I'm more inclined that the month+ resurgence is the outlier. Bad Lester wasn't just a blip, but he also doesn't have as much of a sustained track record of badness. His 2017 definitely wasn't ideal, but he was much better than Hamels.

I remembered really liking that place, and it was better than I remembered. I remember they had a ton of ridiculous Lilly-related photoshops that I wish had survived. I'm pretty sure their masthead towards the end was a truly unsettling sunrise using Lilly's face.

Lester has been legit baller in his 3 September starts: 1.33/2.48 FIPs with a 1.18 WHIP, with walks down and k's WAY up (plus no dongs). Small sample size, sure, but he and Hamels have basically flip-flopped performance-wise. If he keeps it up through the end of the regular season, I think I have Lester go second after Hendricks. Hendricks Lester Quintana Hamels
-
Being so LH heavy especially sucks here since Hendricks really gives you your best shot to take the first game. Do they end up just rolling with having 3 lefties in a row?
-
His HR/9 is also back up at 1.85, which is right in line with what he was doing with Texas in the first half.
-
After last night, he's now sitting at 5.33/4.49 in 4 September starts. Yeah, let's not bring this guy back next year.
-
Yes, they're using the Barstool tweet, too. There's no escaping the Barstool funk on any of the Twitter versions.
-
Yeah, I know; in my quick search I couldn't find a version that didn't have Barstool's grimy taint all over it somehow. But horsefeathers them: I will not deny everyone the perfect nut-shot just because they suck.

2018 Game Thread Starters
Sammy Sofa replied to Sammy Sofa's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
The mostly missing David is next up after the off day. Will he actually show? -
Alright, they've seen this sham pitcher twice now. Time to make him pay third time through.
-
Yup. Streaks are fun, but winning series also will still easily get the job done.
-
Ted Lilly totally makes Happ look like a poseur in a Dexter shirt.
-
Yeah, that sounds positively nuclear.
-
horsefeathers; I mentioned earlier that Hamels' 4.90/4.48 FIP/xFIP in his 3 September starts before tonight was seeming a tad ominous. Bummer.

The one...ONE...snapshot of the Ted Lilly Fan Club that I could find: https://web.archive.org/web/20080521221908/http://tedlillyfanclub.blogspot.com/

horsefeathers, would kinda rather see someone like Mills than DLR.
-
Dude is convinced that this "7 potato skins instead of 8" thing is the greatest joke known to man: Sadly, his love is not shared by his followers:
-
Eh; the next game isn't until 3:10 on Friday in Chicago.

WHY CAN'T I FIND A CLIP OR GIF OF HIM ANNIHILATING MOLINA AT HOME PLATE.
