    I'm not jinxing the game threads. I'll let the mods decide how they want to proceed
  3. Derwood
    Well I was almost right
  4. Derwood
    So so must of us agree that this is the best lineup? CF Fowler 3B Bryant 1B Rizzo LF Zobrist C Contreras 2B Baez RF Heyward SS Russell P Lackey
  5. Derwood
    There are maybe 5000 people left at the Purdue game

    Oh man

    My wife is dragging me to a Halloween party but I told her that if the game isn't on I'm walking home without her

    "Stop liking what I don't like".jpeg Ok.

    I'm not mad at anything. I'm annoyed by the people who can't watch a game without checking the win probability % every pitch

    This game isn't lifting my morale today. What the crap, Penn State?

    Not when they're meaningless nonsense, no, don't tell me I wouldn't say nonsense. When the series was tied at 1, 3/5 remaining games at Wrigley, and 3/5 pitching matchups favoring us, then 60% may have seemed a bit low for us. But now that we're down 2-1, with the final 2 games to be split home and away and the pitching matchups 2/2, the 40% seems about right. And if we win tonight, I suspect that it will shift to 50/50 or 55/45, in either team's favor. But yeah, it's very subjective. It's like saying today that there's a 10% chance of rain next Wednesday, but next Monday, there's a storm moving in, so suddenly there's 40% chance. The odds are based upon current conditions. So the oddsmakers ardent so much predicting the future as they are analyzing the present. Which anyone with a brain can do without 538's help

    It gives nervous ninnies things to be nervous ninnies about Never tell Derwood the odds Not when they're meaningless nonsense, no, don't tell me
  13. Derwood
    But feel free to talk about it until the real one is up.

    Assuming Heyward was standing in the exact same place Soler was when the ball was hit, sure.
  15. Derwood
    lol what is the point of these stupid percentages. "cubs are 60% to win! oh they lost well now they're 40%! Oops they won again, back to 60% Crap they lost, uhhhh 37%!" It gives nervous ninnies things to be nervous ninnies about

    I'll concede on Soler scoring, but saying with certainty that Heyward doesn't get to a ball that dropped a few feet in front of Soler I just don't buy. Heyward is not only faster and has a better jump off the ball, but he probably would have been better positioned to start with
  17. Derwood
    I want to know who all of these offensive juggernauts are who we've been benching in favor of defense
  18. Derwood
    There are no routine foul balls with that wind. I get that most major leaguers don't bust it out if the box. Doesn't make it right. Soler made it to third without much of a play. He could've made it close at home.
  19. Derwood
    How did that work out last night? Last night we scored zero runs and you think that's a reason the Cubs should not worry about offense as much? What do they say around here? Derwood gonna Derwood? You started Soler over Heyward, got nothing out of Soler's bat, but his defense cost us the one run scored, so....
  20. Derwood
    No. How did that work out last night?
  21. Derwood
    yes it does, actually.
  22. Derwood
    Agreed re: interleague play. They also need to do away with player stats "resetting" when they're traded between leagues midseason. I'm pretty sure this has already happened. Seems like when the Cubs acquired Chapman that all the stats you'd see for him during Cubs games were just with the Cubs. I've seen various sports sites split up the stats as well
  23. Derwood
    Lackey vs. short rest Kluber Lester vs. short rest Bauer Arrieta vs. short rest Tomlin Hendricks vs. short rest Kluber I like those odds
  24. Derwood
    Remember when you guys were all worried like "oh no, Kershaw again!" WE GOT THIS TOMORROW
  25. Derwood
    I don't get why hitters aren't allowed to appeal if catchers can. Because the MLB rule book has nothing about check swings
