    How about we don't let Guthrie face the minimum this time around?

    I'm hungry.

    They are the one team I'd be incredibly confident on putting up runs against LOL Cards Pitching LOL Funny, I thought the same about the Red Sox.

    He is horrible this year, but he put up a couple of 91 OPS+ seasons in limited playing time. I wouldn't exactly say he's garbage.

    Theriot to Patterson to Lee .... not quite Tinker to Evers to Chance

    Looks like the Cubs made a conscience effort to draft a major-league ready player to a position of need. With the season the Cubs are having, why wouldn't you put all your eggs in one basket and draft a player who can help your team THIS YEAR? How does the saying go ... a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush?

    Since OPS+ directly corresponds to OPS, a discrepancy in OPS corresponds to a discrepancy in OPS+ and vice-versa. If both OPS's were from the same league and year. and team. Not sure about team. You normalize both OBP and SLG with the ballpark-adjusted league average, which is a constant for everyone in the same league and year, regardless of team. Anyways, I'd like to retract my post. The formula for OPS+ is more complicated than what I said (though too complicated).

    Serious question: Is that really an advantage? Is there actual evidence for that? Historical home/away splits for extra inning games would be useful. However, I looked and couldn't find it.

    Eh, you can say the same about Tinker to Evers to Chance.

    Make it two boilermakers.

    Kudos to AceCubbie for noticing

    The Twins are the Cardinals of the AL Central.

    I'm gonna LOL when Mulder's line vs. the Royals is 6 IP, 1 ER, 3 BB, 5 K.

    2007 Cubs +62 2007 DBacks -20 If the Brewers are banking on a scenario with an extremely low chance of happening, then we have nothing to worry about.

    That is a worse idea than "You can put it on the boooooooooooooooooooooard!! YES!!!"

    I know Pie hit one at St. Louis last year. I think that was Sunday Night Baseball....

    Power is a wash with the two, but Wright has significantly better OBP numbers.

    Joe Crede, eat your heart out.
  23. chuckywang
    This is partly due to the AL rules favoring AL teams more than NL rules favor NL teams.
  24. chuckywang
    Eh, that's probably not as big of an advantage as people think. Every team gets the same number of outs, and hence, the same number of chances to score runs. Before this year, I've never heard of home-field advantage being so pronounced.

    To play off that, I forget what it was, but I think either just before the TOR series, in the TOR series, or TB series; the string was snapped, of 20-some straight games that the Cubs had a lead in - or Len kept reminding us (not that I minded being kept in the know of such a stat). :wink: That streak was broken June 4 against the Pads, a 2-1 loss. To add to that, I think I can count with the fingers on one hand the number of games the Cubs just got flat-out beat.
