    Is it possible that once Ramirez started to struggle he pressed even harder and thus struggled even more? Why is it so hard for the analytical to accept this possibility? The Cub players have a lot of pressure on them and I've read comments where they said they didn't want to disappoint the city or really want to break the jinx and possibly struggle a little more than usual because of it? Or, are you just going to come up with another lame joke? is it possible that he just had 11 bad at bats or whatever? (yes. yes it is.) lets get serious, has a good hitter ever struggled for THREE ENTIRE GAMES? if only there was a comprehensive baseball website on the internet where i could research this kind of thing. anyone want to invent a baseball reference?

    But an out is still an out and a strikeout is no worse than other outs, they all suck from an offensive standpoint. this just isn't true. i'm having trouble finding what i read that disproves it, but the value of an out put into play is marginally greater than the value of an out not put into play. i always assumed that was true. I just also always assumed that the difference between a k and an out in play is so often not game changing that it's not worth sweating it either way as long as the batter is overall productive.

    there are outs that are better than others, but the times in which they occur are relatively rare, and the times that they occur and make an overall difference to a single game are rarer and the times that they occur and make a difference to a game that makes a difference to a season is rarer-er.

    and....? ...and that can have an effect on your next at bat. If you're thinking about how you failed in your previous at bat, that can have an effect on your next one. I guess what I'm getting at is that this is another way (granted, a slight one) where a strikeout is worse than another type of out. the five times a year this happens to a single I'm sure has a big effect on the season

    Indeed. It is only a matter of time before my beloved "Initial Notice Black Productions" are taken down for a third time: http://www.youtube.com/user/InitialNoticeBlack i never gave you permission to use my image, so i might get it taken down before mlb even gets to it

    if he stayed healthy enough to make all of his starts, he'd throw over 200 innings. He's an ace.

    that's about as unprofessional as you can get (both the braves and their announcers) I don't get why people make a big deal out of people posing during their home runs (I'm not really talking about Soriano's play because that was stupid) it's been going on for at least 10 years now, why don't old people pick something else to complain about because it's not going away. hats

    Too bad we didn't sign Alexi Ramirez from the cuba minor leagues, he is tearing it up. There has to be some more good Cubans down there??!!?1 haha so you think alexei ramirez is an impact hitter but you say nobody cares about matt wieters, who's probably the #2 prospect in baseball and is hitting .350 with an OPS of 1.050 in the minors? hilarious. the guy called the cubs minor leagues the cuba minor leagues and he said nobody cares about matt wieters as in "No one here cares about matt wieters" because he's not in our system and the guy we ended up with is hitting .330

    .270/.403/.545 Thanks Jersey...Not bad. So he's making something good happen 40% of the time, is this a big difference over the average of all players in this situation? do you really think that the league averages anywhere near to a .948 ops in any situation? Why not? I'd love have seen your face after you read that. I was just talking about the 40% IMB, not the .948 ops. i really, really doubt that the entire league averages a .400 OBP in any situation, too. go look if you think otherwise.
