    ugggggghhhhhh Well at least the Brewers have traded 2 of their best 3 hitters. I'm just satisfied the team feels committed to keeping Schwarber's bat in the lineup

    Castro

    BigSlick replied to Tim's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk

    Actually I'm hoping that the Cubs do the smart baseball move and play him as infrequently as possible

    I came to post exactly this Goodbye Junior Lake, you were good for a couple months, and then horribly, horribly bad. At least now people wont clamor for him in Game Threads because he's "athletic"

    Baseball seems to lend itself to mysticism based on how random and bizarre events can be. I mean, obviously in football there's tons of luck involved (fumbles, tipped balls, missed field goals, etc.) but it has the veneer of skill having control of that stuff. You can blame the running back for fumbling, the kicker for missed extra points, etc. etc. In baseball some bum can hit a bunch of seeing eye singles and your hitters can absolutely crush balls right at fielders and it just feels much more unjust. It doesn't mean it IS more unjust, but it can feel that way. And maybe because baseball can more adequately measure "luck" and "randomness", it makes it seem all the moreso prevalent. Anyway, [expletive] the Cardinals.

    Steve Trachsel 2007. The funny thing about that, his ERA doubled from going to the Orioles to the Cubs, but his FIP stayed almost virtually the same Oy

    Ahh, if only we could have gotten Dan Haren of 5 years ago *looks at 2015 Dan Haren's stats, is pretty pleased* *looks at 2015 Dan Haren's FIP... is less pleased*

    It's kinda weird how *consistent* this team has been this whole year, despite a lot of upheaval on the roster, its scoring, and its pitching.

    People have to understand that the playoffs are pretty much 11 coin flips in a row. You can play around it a little bit, increase your coin flips a couple percentage points here and there, but you're never going to get overwhelming odds. So your job is to make the playoffs as frequently as possible (and a secondary goal is to have the best seeding, and a tertiary goal is having a couple good front line starters, who tip the scales slightly more than any other factor on a team). So, that being the case, try to make the playoffs this year, but don't do it at the expense of future chances. It's pretty simple.

    That's a smart decision. Keep the ball rolling while it's rolling.
  10. BigSlick
    Nice. Nice.
  11. BigSlick
    Alright Schwarber you get one more chance to live up to your legend
  12. BigSlick
    It would be nice to get Motte-Insurance
  13. BigSlick
    Rizzo could not have come back sooner
  14. BigSlick
    Wow
  15. BigSlick
    This team is so shockingly bad at hitting the baseball it astounds me
  16. BigSlick
    Welp.
  17. BigSlick
    I think Magic Schwarber is done. What we have now is a human being who is still hopefully still very good at hitting baseballs
  18. BigSlick
    I really hope they can scratch a run across
  19. BigSlick
    I love Addison Russell
  20. BigSlick
    Fowler has put together some great at bats recently Schwarber you better hit an XBH if this team can be expected to score today
  21. BigSlick
    Arrieta gave me a scare there
  22. BigSlick
    While the dribbler back to the pitcher wasn't great, Castro's pathetic, desperate lunge at a pitch several feet outside on an obvious "oh it's 0-2 I'm just gonna throw an obvious ball and see if he offers" pitch was severely embarrassing It's the kind of swing no one in the majors should make
  23. BigSlick
    Well they're gonna strand the guy on 3rd with no out
  24. BigSlick
    Seriously Starlin? Seriously? That's humiliating
  25. BigSlick
    Ahhhh love to see other teams make awful base running decisions
