did barney just double his OPS?

They're under the roof, aren't they? There are rooftops, yes, but that won't help much. ***just noticed the error in the title***

Good job leaving off the 34, and continuing to ignore the two huge outlier games. The Cubs suck. They are unlucky to have an ownership/front office that has chosen to field such an awful team.

Tough break but they are the ones without no trade clauses. Apparently the Bylsma reports were premature. The plan is to bring in a new GM and let him decide.

They probably tried to flip others.

And trying to explain away this season as unlucky is productive? The answer to that question was the part of that sentence you cut out. But that goes back to the simple fact that none of these discussions are productive. What is the point of pointing out how unproductive it is to point out that the pythag is skewed by a couple weird things?

you don't agree with his explanation or just the fact that they are not playing?

Going on this sentence alone I assume they were playing the Cardinals again.

They could have easily kept Ramirez.

Castillo is a 27-year-old catcher with a 26% K-rate. Setting back and assuming that's filled is a perilous position to take. he was a 3.2 fwar player last year and he's on about a 3 fwar pace this year. the position is filled. Yeah, at the very least he's serviceable. Filling the catcher spot with someone else is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay down the list of necessities right now. I agree that he's both serviceable and that spot is way down the list of necessities. The problem I see though is that this team is so far away from contending that given his age and position I would bet he will absolutely need to be replaced* before the next playoff game. *Or at least pared with a much more serviceable backup.

Over the course of 6 months it is more predictive. Over the course of 1.5 months with 2 huge outlier games it is meaningless. Incorrect. There have been multiple studies demonstrating that Pythogorean record becomes more predictive than actual record or previous record as quickly as a quarter of a season. Yes, "it starts to become", it is not for all teams every season.

No, I don't care how they've gotten to their stat lines yet. Lake and Olt with .700+ OPS's is fine with me. I see Lake with little shot at starting but I'm not going to give up on Olt. Castillo is fine. Kalish is a backup. They may be individually "fine" but those OBPs (much more important than SLG) they will drag down the offense, and if you just field a team of guys who are "fine" you will suck. This is a team of guys who are "fine" and that is why they are losing so much.

Unfortunately, those are the only 2 hitters in the bright spot category. The next group is just "not disappointing" and then there are the black holes. There may be 10 guys who could individually be fine on a good roster, but you need more good players to slot ahead of those guys to have a major league caliber lineup.
