    How so? Yeah, that's a completely arbitrary statement. Latroy Hawkins took a hell of a lot more heat.

    It doesn't come down to a 1-game playoff. It only does if you fail to win your division.

    that used to be a strike
  4. jersey cubs fan
    I bet a fair amount of people think that was just smart gritty baseball
  5. jersey cubs fan
    Because they aren't all that big a deal, and it's far more important to concentrage on getting the hitter out.
  6. jersey cubs fan
    that was a strike
  7. jersey cubs fan
    Looks to me like he's consistently called some unhittable pitches strikes.

    I hope you're happy

    So they should be happy about his performance up to an arbitrary point that you've apparently defined? You're being ridiculous. No. That's not what I'm doing at all. Where on earth do you get that? Nah, forget it. I was making a simple comment and it's blown out of porportion. Carry on with the Edmonds lovefest. I don't know what a lovefest is, but when a Cubs player hits a HR for the Cubs, the response is generally very positive, when he hits 2 in the same game, it's even more positive.

    Facing Pujols a 4th time? Lilly has been lucky to only give up 2 for now. This isn't good.
  11. jersey cubs fan
    +1 I was going to say I don't have a problem, given the low pitch count. But I forgot he was about to face the top of the order. You have to have people warm, preferably good pitchers.

    The goose talks likes he's stoned all the time.

    She is able to. She just refuses to. She has invoked Loria's name on multiple occasions in the Cuban discussion, and, to my knowledge, has never even attempted to explain the comparison. Any time she is ever asked to explain, she talks about walking on egg shells, not getting respect, being unfairly criticized, or just being an insider who can't divulge anymore information. She expects everybody to accept what she has to say as gospel, but is unwilling to explain or defend her positions. The question remains, how are Cuban and Loria the same?
  14. jersey cubs fan
    Wait, so you're telling me the Cubs score more runs in wins than they do in losses? Shocking, I tell you. The Cubs are 12-8 since the All-Star Break. That is what's important. Yup but there are several ways you can analyze how they are losing. They have been slightly inconsistent offensively. That's how every team is. I picked the Rays randomly. In wins: 2, 6, 4, 4, 5, 5, 3, 3, 5, 9, 6, 8, 10. In losses: 4, 1, 2, 1, 1, 2, 1. The rays have 3 wins below 4 runs. The cubs have a 3 run gap between their closest win and loss. Yeah, that comparison isn't good if you are trying to say everybody is like that. The Rays have won scoring only 2-3 runs. The Cubs have been shut out twice, and scored 9 or more six times.

    True, but Rose has as much of a case to be in the HOF as Santo. Look I am on board with the "Get Santo in the Hall" bandwagon, but I also believe Rose should be in the Hall, too. He also has as big a case as anybody ever in the game to never be allowed in the HOF.

    David Haugh reports Williams will be inactive for 10-12 weeks, suggesting he could be back for the November 2 game. I think that's completely unrealistic. He would essentially have a week's worth of practice under his belt by then. I don't care how NFL ready he was, we would have been lucky for him to be ready to start week 1 even if he got to practice throughout training camp. I don't see him being a factor this year, and may only contribute starting in December.

    If/when they ever go to 32 teams, they should do this: Two 8 team divisions in each league. The winners of each division go on to the playoffs, and the 4 teams with the next best records go as well. These WC teams play a 1 game playoff to move onto the NLDS. The 2 teams with the best records host the 2 teams with the worst records 2 days after the season ends (leaving the day after season for tiebreaker scenarios). Following those two one and done games (actually, 4 across MLB - and imagine the ratings...) the winners move on to face the division winners in the NLDS in a best of 5, and the rest stays the same. What this does is significantly increase the value of winning your division, because nobody wants to play a 1 and done and because the division winners actually get to align their rotation as needed, while the wild card teams are forced to go balls out with all hands on deck just to get the chance to face those winners. This further increases the number of teams (and therefore fans) still in the hunt late in the season, increases the value of having the best record, increases interest early in the playoffs, and makes it a much greater challenge, and thus far greater accomplishment, to actually be the WC team that moves onto the World Series.

    Aren't we allowed to criticise and challenge her opinions, especially when they're completely ridiculous? No one has violated board rules here. It's a fine line between "criticizing and challenging opinions" and "mocking opinions". While neither are violating rules, nobody should complain about the reactions they get when they do it. Cuse was trying to defuse a bomb before it explodes, instead of trying to clean up the mess afterwards. The poster randomly compared Cuban to Loria without defending or explaining why, and has provided absolutely zero reasoning behind the dislike of Cuban. But more importantly, why shouldn't people complain about the reactions they get when they criticize and challenge opinions?

    I'd rather keep Tait at RT and play with a TE lined up outside the LT at all times. Tait at RT might actually be relatively good. At LT he's likely to struggle. Just give St. Clair help as much as possible.

    I'm all for the concept of co-starters piggybacking in starts. But I'm not even sure Guzman can go 5 innings every 5 games.

    Zambrano could hit 400 with his limited plate appearances. What is the record for highest batting average by a pitcher with a least 60 AB's? walter johnson hit .433 in 1925

    Lou'd have to be pretty darn careful though. What scares me is that Guz would be effective and pitch a little too much because of the temptation to leave him in there. Lou sees the big picture pretty well and I'm sure that it wouldn't happen but.... If he's called up in September though, there isn't a lot Lou can do. He's been careful with Samardzija, not pitching him back to back, etc. There's going to be enough arms down there that Lou would be unlikely to abuse Guzman. It's going to take at least a week or two of quality appearances before he'd even have the desire to start using him all the time, and by then, he'd have very little time to do so. Then, if he makes the playoff roster, that's littered with off-days, which would help.

    I picked the wrong weekend to stop sniffing glue

    No need to play 18 interleague, and I really think they should limit the "rival" series to one each year, switching parks every season.

    RH are putting up a 732 OPS against Lieber this year (compared to 644 throughout his career). That is better than Howry, but it's not all that good. And the other problem is he would be an obvious guy to PH with a lefty against, since they have an OPS in excess of 1000, and have always hit him hard. You would never want to bring Lieber in to a game late, or in a situation where the opposing manager is likely to PH with a lefty. So, the only real value would be as a guy you bring in to the 5th/6th inning, when you really don't want to walk anybody, and the hitter is somebody the manager isn't likely to replace with a lefty, but also isn't somebody who kills Lieber (like Pujols).
