    Blame Game

    imb replied to halplm's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk

    The good ones can do it on accident. He can't do it if he tries. The point is he doesn't have the physical strenght or the discipline to hit a ball hard on the outside corner and drive it deep. I dont know how you can say he doesnt have the strength for it. He's the strongest guy on the team, upper body strength wise, he just doesnt have the swing or discipline to go the other way. Adam Dunn, I think we would all agree is at the top of the list as far as strongest homerun hitters go. He hits mammoth homeruns, no one would ever accuse him of having warning track power. How many homeruns does he have to opposite field? Two. If you want to say that Corey isn't a good hitter, no one will disagree with you, but to say that he doesnt have power because he doesnt hit the ball out to the opposite field is stupid.

    Most homerun hitters don't go to opposite field.

    Dont you, though? Totally off-topic, but my grandfather says that all the time. Me:Yeah, the food was good. Him:Wasn't it, though? Me:Yeah, I love hamburgers. Him:Dont you, though? Me:Yeah, they put the extra spice on there. Him:Dont they, though?

    I love when people cant handle being in an argument, and resort to either changing their argument on the fly, or misrepresenting what the other person is saying.

    I wanted to see if I was beating up Treeman, since he took me down last year, and lo and behold. 182. IMB-Suckiest Bunch of Sucks that ever Sucked 353. Treeman-One True Outcome:Failure

    I don't want to trade eigher Z or Wood. I didnt mean you, specifically.

    win loss record is entirely meaningless for a pitcher because it is determined by team performance (i.e. offensive run support, among other things) k rate matters a great deal. studies have shown that it is one of the best predictors for determining which pitchers will go on to have success in the major leagues and which pitchers will not. other excellent statistics to look at are hr/9 and bb/9. and fun combinations of them like hr/k and k/bb Oooh ooh ooh, my favorite stat for minor league pitchers is xbh/k.

    So what are you saying? We don't have to choose between them, we have them both. What I'm saying is, we cant go 10 minutes without someone posting their great, new TRADE WOOD thread, but if you say you would trade Zambrano, people flip out and go crazy. During healthy periods (an admittedly smallish sample) Wood has been Z's equal. Due to age/contract, we could get an f-ton more for Z than we could for Wood, so who do you want to trade now?

    I think we pretty much believe the same thing (looking at all metrics), only you seem to care about W/L record, at least a little bit, while I don't care if I ever see that stat line outside of fantasy baseball.

    Yeah, Pie is coachable and Corey isn't. Corey's walk rate in the minors was better than Pie's is now. How long will Pie be in the majors before people get sick of him not walking and start calling him uncoachable?

    Well, it appears that we are at an empass then. Hahah, I'll pretend this was a joke. What makes you think I haven't? Following the in crowd? Hahaha.
  15. imb
    And wrong. Prove it. Hahah, why? So we can sit here and argue for an hour? I got an idea, I'll go argue with a brick wall, it will be just as much fun. It's pointless. You've heard it all before. I'm sure this isn't the first time you've made your outdated opinion heard. If you want to continue believing that wins are an effective way to measure a pitchers worth, be my guest. Someone has to be wrong.
  16. imb
    And wrong.
  17. imb
    who? Are you being serious? Bill James, Rob Neyer, etc etc... These guys know pitching, why dont you ask them what they think about "wins" describing how good a pitcher is. Maybe you'd be more comfortable talking to Joe Morgan.

    Only the best baseball minds in the world?

    wow what

    He's 22 and he's already at least as good as Ramirez and Lee, by the time he hits his prime, Manny and ARod will be on the downswing, so it will just be him and Pujols.
  21. imb
    indifferent my ass, b&
  22. imb
    He should be an AL manager, for the All-Star game, guaranteed home field advantage for the NL.
  23. imb
