6/26 Orioles (Liz) vs Cubs (Marquis) 1:20PM WGN
weis21 replied to mhuber92211's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Mark is more of a gentleman than I. I would have had a hard time not lowering that hand, just a little... He knew there were people watching.... You mean like Mrs. Dero? Hmmm, Probably a good point. -

If the ump would have reacted the way today's ump did when D Lee and Young got into a fight, it never would have happened. I don't think Dero was about to rush the mound, but still a good job by the ump. -

Hey hey hey...WGN has a silly logo and slogan, and plays a lot of bad movies, and tv shows...but lets not say something we regret about Roadhouse... Sister, Sister. That is all. -
How U like me now? Gold teeth when I smile

I'm certainly not saying that stat doesn't have any value, because honestly I have no idea what it is, but Wood is #32 (just behind our old friend Ohman). Certainly you would have to agree he's a top 10, if not top 5, reliever in the game. Yep I still think he is behind KRod, Mariano, and Nathan. I am also partial to Marmol. But, Wood has been amazing. Wow, your right about Rivera :shock: 40/3 K:BB .566 WHIP .76 ERA I thought he was starting to decline last year. I had no idea he was putting up those kind of numbers this year. Maybe I haven't been watching enough ESPN?

Certainly you would have to agree he's a top 10, if not top 5, reliever in the game. It's expected wins over a replacement level pitcher. However, it goes a step further by adjusting for quality of hitters faced. That way you can't just come in and face garbage players each game and show off a .80 WHIP -- it's showing how good the guys you faced were and how much better you were than a replacement pitcher. So basically, if Wood were to have faced tougher hitters up to this point, he'd have a higher WXRL. I see the value in that, but it's not like he has any control over who he faces. When he's been on his game this year (which has been more times than not), then I don't anybody who steps into the batters box has much of a chance.

That hair was a spitting image.

Not even the best on our team. Kerry has Marmol by 26 ERA+ Points, I'd def. give the nod to him. Plus his 49/8 K:BB :shock: Sorry, fixed for tonights performance.

Obviously he paid off the Orioles. He's just not very good unfortunately.

Woody the best reliever in the bigs?

haha, one post below yours

Filth.

If negativity was a message board poster, his handle would be "CubsGM" yeah, i generally ignore his negativity, but there were some others rather unhappy too
-
When you walk 9 times in a game to go along 12 hits you're going to have a lot of runners left on. Sure, they didn't get the job done sometimes, but they still got 7 runs out of it. Why such negativity when we're up by three? ETA: Wood at 98 :shock:
-
completely different pitcher. was it?
-
Makes perfect sense to me.
-
8 walks in 7 1/3 for the Cubs!
-
OH? The infamous Orioles Hangout, first made famous in the Roberts thread
-
I would probably assume he meant until Johnson comes back, but yeah that does worry me a bit. Johnson is a beast against LHP

I say we talk about the Bulls' draft instead. Go Rose. After thinking a lot about this, I've come to agree. Beasley measuring in shorter than his listed height and his character concerns make me leery enough to think Rose would be the better choice. Apparently Miami isn't even sold on him at no.2, which would be a mistake IMO Well he still doesn't look as sharp as early in the year, but when your as good as him, you don't have to be sharp all the time Good Job Marmol

At least he hasn't taken any cheap shots at a guy's newborn... :roll:
