Yeah seems weird to put Baez at first when you could play him literally at any other infield spot and come out of it with a better defense but as said Whatever Especially ones that will remain nagging the rest of the year like backs and hammys Plexiglass principle! As I've said before, this team needs to bring Rusty Jones out of retirement. I'm grateful that all of the injuries have occurred to the hitters and the pitchers have had a sterling injury record. 2015 was a bit of a fluke in that we suffered almost no injuries to our starting rotation and I want to see that continue.
As a gamblin' man 6-1 sounds like great odds to put money on the Braves really because I think the Braves have a better than 16.67% chance of winning this game But I'll never put money on an opposing team because that just seems like a great way to destroy your own psyche
Yeah I was saying in the General Chit-Chat thread that his minor league KK-BB ratio is 64-332, which is like, shockingly bad Of course the White Sox would get excited about a guy that strikes out 5 times for every walk
So now all of White Sox Nation is talking about potential calling up Tim Anderson and I decided to check his stats and he has a career minor league 64-332 BB-KK ratio So basically, the perfect White Sox player. Why should I expect him to not get eaten alive at the majors?
I like that David Haugh spent the last 4 years whining and second guessing Theo and Jed and now, without a single mea culpa or anything, just goes and uses the Cubs to bash the White Sox Sure, whatever The dude is totally shameless
I was looking at Coghlan's stats and thought "oh, a .487 Slg, thats not bad at all" and then realized that was his OPS He's had a real rough year in the Coliseum. I can imagine him plugging in and being useful for a few weeks which is what we'll likely need him for.
Javy says no bueno I'd prefer Bryant there and for him to stick there, but I'll take Javy playing there Anyone that can actually, you know, field the position
Pirates down 11-6 in Colorado. Barring a late comeback (not inconceivable at Coors) that'll bring the Cubs back to 10 games up in the division. Feels good man
They've turned into the 2005-2006 era Cubs Oh man that 2006 team was the absolute nadir of my fandom to be honest. I think it was the excitement of the 2003-2004 teams, the reality of the 2005 team, and ultimate collapse of a garbage team led by one of the least likable managers of all time.
The White Sox are such a gaping hole of MLB level talent that they're furiously DFA'ing signing and trading for a revolving door of bums This is so entertaining
It gave you an absurdly good offense when you also got Schwarber behind the plate though. Whats up with all these hamstring pulls? Can we get Rusty Jones here?
