  1. Most of Javy's dingers have been with no men on base - and maybe that's why he's batting 2nd. If he's 5th or 6th with men on, and with his high K rate - teams might pitch him differently. From the Cubs perspective, if he's K'ing too much with men on, they might feel there's too much pressure on a young player.
  2. i didn't think that there was any way that that could be true. but it is. Gary Sheffield once walked 142 times in a season and only struck out 66 times. i don't think anyone appreciated that at the time, it's incredible. yeah, Javy isn't Gary Sheffield nor will he ever be. Sheffield had the k-rate of a slap hitter and the walk rate of a [expletive] hulk. i would be absolutely elated if Javy had a season in which he walked 66 times and struck out 142. It's crazy - even his first years w/ the Brewers the K and BB rates were good. What the hell were they thinking?
  3. Javy's bat speed has been loosely compared to Sheffield...if he remotely gets close to his numbers - it would be awesome... Sheffield career: 10.7 K%, 13.5% BB, .292 Avg.
  4. He's got 13 E's to date, ranked 17th. I'm not saying that's good at all but he's not a butcher either. Not sure how this compares to his historical #'s.
  5. I seriously can't believe how bad Jackson is. What a fuckin waste
  6. Russo's a tool...Castro for DeGrom - straight up? Yeah, right....
  7. Meanwhile, 8 miles south and the Cell is as dry as a bone
  8. His historical K rate is 16%. Imagine if Javy could play at that level.
  9. Personally, I enjoyed Matt Holidays miscue in the playoffs the most
  10. Love seeing Castro rack up the hits. He's on pace for a nice total by the age of 25
  11. Cuz that's the right way to play, damnit!
  12. Yeah this Ramirez guy and his 1.26 ERA sucks. His velocity is down considerably hopefully just due to the time off or something. I was thinking the same thing
  13. Just turned it on and he hadn't said a word....thought he was pulling a Hawk Harrellson
  14. I can't wait for the season to start..!
  15. In general, I like listening to Rozner, but you're right - he gets all over Castro for every little thing. I'm sure he'll have plenty to say tomorrow am
  16. The Cubs are on Hamels NTC, no? If so - all of the above chatter of acquiring Hamels is moot.
  17. Anyone know who the pitching coaches are for Iowa and Tenn?
