  1. I was told on good authority that the Cubs would be out of first place by today
  2. To be clear, I am not arguing from the same POV as chibears55. I don't think advanced stats are 'funky' or 'weird'
  3. Having 9 of your 25 hits be HR's certainly helps
  4. That particular complaint was, yes. Do you think it's fair for someone to complain that the player who is batting leadoff is 23 for his last 122 since June 1?
  5. But when people complain about him, they're complaining about RESULTS, not approach/bad luck/etc. So when every complaint about RESULTS is countered with "yes but his xWOBA..." then people get frustrated
  6. The results were not fine, though. "doing everything right" does not mean that the results were good. This is a results-based game. I'm not saying Happ needs to do things differently, but let's not get buried in the analysis to the point where we're giving a player credit for what statistically SHOULD have happened rather than what DID happen
  7. He's fine going forward is not the same as he's been fine over the last 100+ AB's
  8. Jordan Hicks in relief? Is he not taking Taillon's spot in the rotation? Does this mean a deal for a SP is iminent?
  9. He's not just fine. Results are results.
  10. 2nd game of the double header is supposed to start in 15 minutes (LOL)
  11. At this rate, it will take another 3 hours to finish this game
  12. They do it every game. It's the worst.
  13. 60ish combined pitches in just the first inning. Took 30 minutes
  14. This is a lot of pitches in an inning after a bullpen game
  15. Nationals just fired both their GM and Manager
  16. The NL RBI leader getting snubbed is beyond ridiculous. In other news, looks like the tarp is coming off the field?
  17. Swapping Busch/Dansby and Shaw/McGuire is a “major shakeup” by CC’s standards.
  18. They have a double header with another game starting at 8
  19. Did the wind die down? Dansby and Kelly were not helped at all
  20. You live by the bullpen game and you die by the bullpen game.
  21. That must be front-loaded for the season, because they struggled mightily recently. Now some of those recent lefties are staff aces, so that stands to reason
  22. Apple doesn’t know the difference between Berti and Brujan same, bro, same
