can't wait for the new sophisticated baseball mind thing to be "well yeah, schwarber is hitting .350 with 35 hr, but his defensive footwork has cost the cubs 42,000 runs. but the casual fan might not notice stuff like that."
Thats my point I think Arrieta is teh guy, but the management will go with Lester. oh no no no...please don't think i was agreeing with anything you were saying. ever.
everyone knows the cubs will lose the WC game in pittsburgh with cole beating lester 8-1. pirates steal 11 bases. the sooner everyone just accepts this as inevitable, the easier it will be to swallow when it happens.
how many 9th inning or later game winners/tie-ers is that for castro? walk off vs kimbrel chopper over the 3b’s head @ pitt Walk off vs cincy #1 Walk off vs cincy #2 extra innings @ twins last night
kinda torn on that ump/lester situation from yesterday. on one hand, umpires are the worst people on earth and i long for the day where they are all unemployed panhandlers. obviously an ump that practically charges the mound should be first in line to be put down. on the other hand, lester sucks and whines a lot.
