    Rizzo

    BigSlick replied to Banedon's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk

    This is kind of silly, but also kinda neat http://grantland.com/the-triangle/2015-mlb-mvp-debate-bryce-harper-yoenis-cespedes-anthony-rizzo/?ex_cid=story-twitter "Rizzo has slashed .278/.388/.511 overall, a little more than 40 percent better than the average NL hitter after adjusting for the friendly confines. But he’s excelled in crucial spots, batting .313/.438/.553 with men on, .296/.417/.578 with runners in scoring position, and .283/.479/.547 with two outs and runners in scoring position. And because he plays for a postseason team, Rizzo’s clutchness counts"

    The Reds may have a bunch of stupid little hits today but they also have zero (0) walks, which matters to me much more

    Addison Russell within striking distance of that .700 OPS. Just gotta get a couple more extra base hits and continue getting on base, Addy! This is very important btw

    I don't know how many huge situations Rodney will face, as he's behind a few faces on the totem pole. Given Maddon's love of him and some of Grimm's uneasiness of late, I fully expect Rodney to get some innings in the playoffs (if the Cubs move on) Those will be my most butt clenched moments
  5. BigSlick
    I definitely have visions of Rodney blowing a huge situation in the playoffs This has more to do with my intense hatred of Fernando Rodney than anything else, but I can't change that
  6. BigSlick
    Yeah I'm kinda curious how a .286/.324/.400 only equals a .311 wOBA and a 95 wRC+, I guess the Wrigley adjustments have swung in the other direction?

    Javier Baez owns, btw

    About time, Austin. :P

    I really don't think there's anything special about Chicago fans, or Cubs fans. The stadium goes nuts when things go well, its quiet when they don't. They're pretty charged before games as well.

    wtf man i thought you didn't even watch the cubs for the past 5 years now you love that miserable freak? I just love that him going to an All-Star game happened. That a guy had to put all his concentrated talent into a 2 month window on a really awful team and that earned him a spot. I had to check and didn't even realize he never played another inning of major league baseball after 2012. Bryan Lahair, ML All-Star. I followed the team intermittently between 2012-2014. :hello:
  11. BigSlick
    I'll still always love Bryan LaHair, MLB All-Star

    I think we can expect one of Castro, Baez and Soler to be traded before next season. Even if they don't, there's still some platoon stuff you can do with Soler/Coghlan, and mixing players around with Bryant bouncing around outfield and 3b. What I would really love to see is giving Schwarber a real shot behind the plate, because if he can stick there, then jesus christ this offense.

    I remember when we used to joke about the Cubs having like a limited pool of runs to dole out for each game and not want them to spend too many on each contest. I'm beginning to have that completely irrational feeling of "alright Starlin, don't hit too well!! save some for the playoffs!!" even if it makes no sense.

    Lester's ERA at 3.35 for the season now. It's been a really quality season for Lester, even factoring in his mild hiccups early in the season. It's too bad that [meaningless] win-loss record looks mediocre, but he's really been a damn fine player all season.
  15. BigSlick
    Jon Lester has been pretty good with the bat the last few starts lol You know this team is going places now
  16. BigSlick
    It's kinda cool that Dan Haren gets to end his career on a really good team and throw a couple gem outings (this one and the game against the Cardinals) I dunno if he has much use in the playoffs (would coming out of the bullpen make him more effective? It's not like it'll add MPH to his fastball) but it's neat for him at least
  17. BigSlick
    whoa i really want to go to this now
  18. BigSlick
    ok i guess that was more amusing than losing
  19. BigSlick
    lol

    The Pirates had 16 baserunners and couldn't score a run. Stolen from elsewhere on the web: that has happened only 47 times in MLB history, no-hitters are more common.
  21. BigSlick
    agreed
  22. BigSlick
    either win or lose the game, a miserably long relatively meaningless extra innings game is the only thing that'll bum me out
  23. BigSlick
    The Pirates have 0 runs on 9 Walks I didn't know that was possible
  24. BigSlick
    Let that be a lesson: never bunt
  25. BigSlick
    Tommy "rat Boy" La Stella, clean up hitter i wish we didn't have to play this game but you know, whatever. At this point I'm rooting for: Kris Bryant getting 30 magical dingers, Addisson Russell to get his OPS above .700, and Jorge Soler miscellaneous dingers
