In the world of sports talk radio, anyone who often uses VORP in player analysis is a stathead. He's really smart and really good for the most part. I tried listening for a few months a while back, and I wouldn't say he's smart. He's a baseball idiot and a mostly rational football guy, but not smart.
-
Obviously this is a mutli-team trade that has Bradley going to Detroit, Dunn filling in at right and Granderson playing center for the Cubs. -
I hate you. I just listened to these idiots say the Cubs should trade Fox for a crappy left handed reliever because there's a chance that guy might get a big out some day. They're right about his lack of a future in the NL and the fact that you should trade him while his value is high, though (if you can get something worth a damn). They weren't right about anything. There's no reason he can't have a future on an NL team, or that the Cubs should get what they can right now. If they can't get anything significant for a guy who is hitting great in his first real exposure to major league pitching and holding his own in the field, there's no reason whatsoever to deal him. They are going to turn around and spend 5 times as much on a much lesser bench option.

That probably couldn't have gone any better. Wells gets a win, lots of guys get hits, and rest. Atkins doesn't implode. All that was missing was some rest for Koyie Hill. I don't like him going into Miami with no rest.
-
I DON'T WANT YOUR LIFE!
-
Wells batting to get the ovation (and save the bench) then not coming out for 8th?
-
Or if they suck. Or if Favre calls the day after two-a-days end.
-
He's walked a ton and he's been doing it for a while.
-
Florio is kind of a bitch. Not that I think this story shouldn't be told or anything, but the way he writes comes across as a big baby.
-
He hasn't struck out anybody yet today. As an unheralded midseason callup, he needs win totals and/or fantastic ERA/K totals. Yea he has no K's today, but with a 9-0 lead, Id expect him to mainly pitch to contact. You are right he needs the win totals or ERA/K totals, but his ERA is under 3.00 thats pretty impressive for a Rook I was just pointing out the lack of K's today to emphasize that he pitches to a lot of contact. ROY starting pitchers generally rack of huge K totals, not to mention wins or at least very impressive records. If he maintains his pace through August and September though, he will have a lot more wins and definitely be in the discussion. He could easily throw 8 innings today, and with the bullpen in the condition it's in, that would be huge.

I saw that when I first checked out his stats and was thoroughly confused.

I think Wells will go as long as possible. Hart pitching tomorrow means you have to have someone fresh down there. I say Wells goes 6 or 7 and Atkins finishes it out. There is really no better time to pitch Atkins than in a 9-0 game. Plus, with an off day for the rest of the bullpen today, there should be some fresh arms Being down 9-0 is probably the better time to use him. If Atkins pitches there's a good chance Lou will eventually feel forced to use Gregg.
-
Urlacher and Cutler have already patched things up so this won't be a distraction. oh, and that might not be safe for some people's work like situation environment whatnot.
-
The Indians want young prospects, not a guy like Bradley. And the Cubs don't need to be trading for more relievers.
-
you seem way more positive than usual today wtf is going on? The Cubs are winning a baseball game 7-0.
-
enough about this stupid dropped third strike. it popped out of his glove for one second and he threw the guy out. stop making it sound like he kicked it around like benny hill and then threw it into the left field bleachers or something. where were the buxom blondes?
-
Well they didn't go out in 8 pitches, nice job rammy. Easily the best Cubs hitter, year in and year out.
-
That's 7
-
For the past couple years, that would have been nice. But Theriot turns 30 this season and is going to start making arbitration money, meaning he is no longer going to be a nice cheap middle infield option. It might be best if next season were his last with the team.
-
I just wish it wasn't on the first pitch. The Cubs I know would come out the next inning and go 1, 2, 3 on 8 pitches, leaving Hampton's game total relatively low for somebody who is getting knocked around. I'd like to see them force him out of the game ASAP.
-
Who's Jake Fox?
-
'taint a bad start fellers
-
Guh? No Fukudome? And catch Jake Fox for the love of all that is holy, Lou! Hampton is a lefty And Hill sucks. What does Hill sucking have to do with Fukudome not starting?
