    I'd be all for pushing Harden back some, but I'm not sure you need to do that with Lilly/Marshall. Hah, I just realized the Cubs two lefties are the married couple on How I Met Your Mother.

    Yeah, it really is. The correlation is not 1.0, but they are positively correlated without question. So there's never been a pitcher who has lowered his pitch speed and maintained close to the same effectiveness? He said the correlation was not 1.0. Just because a guy, or some guys can do it on occasion doesn't mean there isn't a correlation though. By and large, if guys lose velocity, they will lose effectiveness. Why can't Harden be one of those guys then? I said it isn't directly proportional, not that there isn't any correlation. I would assume a guy can't until he proves he can. He has looked, to me, far more pedestrian in the games he doesn't have the velocity though. Obviously it plays a major role in his dominance.

    Well, Joey Gathwright has no value to this team other than as a pinch runner, "losing" him in the 5th wouldn't be that tragic.

    What's preferable, having him make that start on 9 days rest, or having him start today and just go 3-4 innings and then start Friday on 3 days rest. I would think it would be better to have a guy make his starting debut coming off short rest and a light workload rather than unusually long rest. He's already going to have the adrenaline flowing. I was thinking the exact same thing as I was reading the previous posts. If they know they're going to use him Friday, get him 60-70 pitches today and them bring him back on 3 days rest Friday. Is this the guy who was a Cards farmhand at one point? I can never remember if he's the same guy. I'm pretty sure he was drafted and signed by the Cubs and has only spent a couple weeks with Toronto as a Rule 5 guy before returning.

    Probably well before they become public.

    Temps around 6, with 7 mph wins out of the ENE, which is in from center/right field. WOW, must have been a huge cold front move in. ;) 6 degrees is COLD. Would it help if I pretended that was meant to be celsius? That's still really cold. What is that, mid 40's? Not that bad. But yeah, I meant 60F, not sure how I missed the 0.

    No, technically there is no such thing. If SOS has any meaning, it's over short durations of time, when everybody hasn't already played everybody else.

    Aren't people reporting that Aramis might start today?

    The Mets are a few games under .500 and a bit of a mess. Since when do we track a team's DL lists statistically to determine their health? It's a pointless example.
  14. jersey cubs fan
    They also played (and swept) the Mets. Blaming or thanking the schedule can get kind of silly. Saying that this guy was hurt, or that a team lucked out by missing a stud pitcher in a 3 game series etc. I try not to get to excited or frustrated by the standings till Memorial Day, and probably shouldn't till the All-Star break. To show you how misleading somethings can be in the early goings, the Cubs on paper are the healthiest team in baseball. They've had the least amount of time by players spent on the DL. Using the Mets as an example of a good team they've played doesn't really help your argument. And your example about the DL is completely useless.

    I think it's pretty clear the opposing shortstop has been tipping pitches to Theriot with expectations that Theriot will return the favor.
  16. jersey cubs fan
    MacPhail brought Stockstill over there didn't he?
  17. jersey cubs fan
    The Cubs biggest goal this past offseason was to get more left handed. Mark DeRosa bats with the right hand. End of story.
  18. jersey cubs fan
    He's been on a regular rotation so far, and was coming off his highest pitch count. I'd like to see them give him some more 6-7 day rests or skipped starts starting in May. Preventive medicine.
  19. jersey cubs fan
    it's on CSN And TNT.
  20. jersey cubs fan
    So who is starting tomorrow? Lilly? He probably needs to throw a complete game.

    I don't think Marvin is a fit with this team. I think he'd be a nice veteran to have if one of Bennett/Iglesias take a little while to perform well. That said, his best days are behind him. I just don't see it working out. He's played his entire career in the dome and his sort of aloofness worked with that team's structure. But the Bears are looking to establish an offense, and develop receivers. Marvin isn't going to be the type that helps the young guys. I feel like it will take a lot to convince him to play in Chicago, and that would be a poor use of cap space. They already had to overpay Pace. Had Orton remained at QB, perhaps he'd work as somebody to help him, but I'd rather Cutler just gain some sort of connection with the younger guys that are going to be the difference between this offense working or not.

    I really like this Gregg guy, he's got a bright future.
  23. jersey cubs fan
    I don't think Marvin is a fit with this team.

    Marmol needs baserunners to raise his adrenalin.
  25. jersey cubs fan
    Except both of those would suck, no?
