definitely laroche, will guzman be there too you think? with kent coming off the dl, does he get sent back down?
-
Go through the "final team rosters" thread, select your three keepers and post them here.
-
Yeah, let's work on geting ahold of all the owners over the next few days, and we'll select our keepers.

Wow, you are absolutely right. That's why I showed you all the stats. Its not too surprising that instead of being magnanimous and simply saying the numbers do show that he has been better for the Cubs than you thought. You actually took the time to go through and name certain outings bad that I didn't. I could list all of his outings and we could quibble about what makes up a bad outing and what doesn't, but I'm not going to do that because I don't have to. You've already proved my point. Even using your spun numbers, my point, that Rusch has been good more often than not while a Cub and a whole lot better than you were making him out to be, is still supported. So, whether you take my numbers or yours, it doesn't matter. The facts and stats still show that he is likely to turn things around and perhaps have some value by the trade deadline. Whether he will or not, who knows? Thats just what the numbers say. Hahah, spun numbers? I went beyond giving him the benefit of the doubt. I counted several 1/3rd 0 run outings as good. The only ones I counted as "bad" outings were ones that he had an era above 4.50. Those are bad outings, you can ignore it if you want, but you are totally, completely wrong, and lying about it doesnt make it not true. It's not too surprising that instead of saying "hey, i made up this stat", you called me a liar and called the facts "spun numbers". Nice try.

Ichiro is hitting .367 and in his last 125 at bats he is hitting .464. Of course, Mauer is hitting .474 in his last 100 or so at bats.

I found my elusive missing 2004 game, an outing that Rusch gave up 3 runs without recording an out.

Just because you say that the 75% is number is accurate doesn't mean that it is. You might as well have said that during 75% of the innings Glendon Rusch throws, he takes a big plate of spaghetti out to the mound. 2004 - 32 appearances, 21 good, 11 bad. Counted into those 21 good appearances were a few outings that went between a third of an inning and less than two innings. Also, I went ahead and counted a 5 inning, three run game as a "good" appearance, since it counts as a QS, even though I think we both agree that there is nothing good about an ERA north of 4. In case you were wondering, that works out to 66% 2005 - 46 appearances, 27 good, 19 bad. In those 27 good outings, there were a total of 10 that lasted less than an inning and two-thirds. Those ten outings lasted a combined 8 1/3rd innings, so a more discerning man could count them as maybe two good outings combined, but I'll give you the (huge) benefit of the doubt and count them as 10. only 59% of those outings were "good". 2006 - 14 outings, 7 good, 7 bad. That works out to a cool 50%. Oh, of the 7 "good" outings, 5 of them didnt go over 2.1 innings. Since signing with the Cubs, Glendon Rusch has had 55 good outings and 37 bad ones. That is 60%, nowhere close to the 75% you tried to pass off as fact. Nice try though.

San Diego is 15th in the NL in obp, Oakland is 10th in the AL in obp. We're not talking about only walks, we're talking about obp. Try looking things up before speaking.
-
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Jesus.

what good is obp if you cant catch the ball?
-
Speaking of that list outshined, what happened to bullington and bush?

The reason Lee's OPS skyrocketed wasn't so much the fact that he 'hit his prime age' as much as he closed a huge hole in his swing. He did it when he hit his "prime age". Do you think that players just magically get better in that 28, 29 area? That's the time when they start figuring things out, hence, closing a hole in his swing.
-
im not too down on this pick. maybe he really, actually did turn a corner or something this year. im excited to see him start playing.
-
Do you believe that he will hit like this for the rest of the season? i wouldn't be surprise if he puts up a .850 ops. lee & barrett became better hitters after joining the cubs, so maybe jones too. Didnt Lee and Barrett hit their prime with the Cubs too? I hope Jones puts up an .850 ops, but im not holding my breath. Jones is 31 and has only done that once in his life. yep, but both have had quite an improvement w/ chicago. lee's ops last year was 200 points better than his best w/ florida. barret was .655, .749 & .678 in his last 3 seasons w/ montreal. he's went .826, .824 and .868 w/ the cubs. Those bumps coincide nicely with the 28-29 year range, do they not? Jones? Not so much. I'm not saying it's impossible, but it's far from likely. Players usually dont wait until they turn 31 to become useful. Here's to hoping though.

welcome to our hell bitches
