    Right side, which to me would imply around the obliques or thereabouts Yeah, it must've been a press box announcement that was misheard. Jesse Rogers and Muskat both originally said right thigh. Muskat at least corrected it to right side.

    So the Cubs say Soler left with right thigh tightness. Random twitter person says he was in the bathroom. #TeamRandomTwitterGuy

    I like that the mustache was not disguise enough. It required the soul patch.

    What happened? Just the throwing error on the steal?

    I sure hope there are better playoff hype videos to come. CSN showed a highlight real of the season this morning that was pretty darn good despite Kaplan narration. Some stuff feels like it wasn't even this year, like Javy's Mother's Day walkoff.

    what the horsefeathers does hold to a higher standard even mean? you judge the player by his ability vs all the rest of the league. Starting pitchers are judged against all other starting pitchers. You don't regard Hammel as high as Arrieta and you don't worry much about him since he's not going to be on the playoff roster anyway, but they are both starting pitchers and you judge them as such. I mean exactly what you just said. I don't regard Hammel as high as Arrieta. I have higher expectations of Arrieta than I do Hammel. Pretty simple. If Arrieta and Hammel both had a league average ERA, I'd be much, MUCH more concerned with Arrieta. Because I expect more out of him. I think we're just bickering about word usage here.

    Which is basically what goony said in the link I posted (that they should all be held to the same standard). as they should you rate them all as starting pitchers and hammel has been fine. He hasn't been dragging the team down with him. He's been better than essentially half the starting staffs in baseball. He would probably be good enough to make any pitching staff. If the Cubs could find 5 guys better than him I'd hardly miss him but they haven't and probably won't anytime soon. I'm not sure why this is so complicated. Rating him against only other #5 starters would be dumb. Well I agree that he's been fine...other than his recent struggles, he's had a solid, if unremarkable season. But there's no way that you can hold him to the same standards that you hold guys like Arrieta or Lester. Everybody and their brother has done a deep dive on "what's wrong with Arrieta" this season because he's not threatening to throw no-hitter's every single time out. When Hammel takes the mound, so long as we're in the game, that's really all we expect out of him. It's not so much that we hold Hammel to a lower expectation because he's a 5th starter...I expect that he'll be a competent starter. It's that we hold other pitchers to higher standards when they're considered a top of the rotation guy....a claim no one will make about Hammel.
  22. Banedon
    If you hold your 5th starter to the same standards you hold your #1 starter, you're gonna have a bad time.

    Shamelessly stealing this from reddit: http://67.media.tumblr.com/7cfb6403016428cf006335bd3120e8a0/tumblr_inline_n1d7vzeQlj1qdd23b.gif

    It's like Mojo made a fake caption in ""Javy voice" and put it on there. Except it's real.

    Surely Brewers tv will show it?
