Weekly BA Prospect Hot Sheet
jersey cubs fan replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
patience isn't only about drawing walks either, it is about increasing the odds that you will see a more hittable pitch during your plate appearance, forcing the pitcher to give you something better to hit than what he wants. Impatience is swinging at anything resembling a strike, and that is dumb hitting. -
Weekly BA Prospect Hot Sheet

What you accuse me of doing is exactly what you are doing here. You claim the only way guys can take walks is if pitchers fear them. Claiming the value of patience is overstated is a loaded term that to me makes no sense because by and large a huge portion of the baseball world doesn't give a crap about it. And too many talented players fail due at least in part to a lack of patience. It is very valuable and should be taught. Pitchers walking Kris Bryant does not illustrate anything about it being overstated. -
Which crappy player?

Just make him stay on the bag at all times.

Weekly BA Prospect Hot Sheet
jersey cubs fan replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
How so? Pitchers will pitch around the elite of the elite power hitters, but not most guys. And you still have to be willing to not swing at those pitches. Sure you do. But you can't just make somebody take walks, pitchers have to be afraid of them first. No. Walks aren't only about pitchers being afraid of a hitter. Major league pitchers generally don't want to throw hittable pitches to any major league hitters. The guys who are feared the most, and patient, will have the huge walk numbers. But there are fearful hitters that don't walk and there are non-terrifying hitters who take lots of walks. Patience is very important. -
Hahaha. Those were my first thoughts when I saw her. She looked MISERABLE. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD The next kid was wearing Costanza's Gore-Tex coat.

It's an opinion piece saying the writer believes the Cubs should sign Samardzija.

Don't...call it that Just that he still calls it that shows me that he's not ready to start game threads. Still? This has happened before? How was he not banned, or why hasn't the expletive blotter taken care of it?

oh goody, david is here to tell fans how to fan again -
Don't...call it that oh god, what is that

Nothing was worse than last year IMO. We were just as bad, but Castro and Rizzo looked awful and we didn't have Baez and friends to look forward to. But we aren't living through last year now, so this is worse.
