    So what are you, like the Rush Limbaugh of Cubs message board posters?
  2. Tyrant
    That doesn't sound real

    If it's thrown the wrong way, with lots of wrist twisting. But I think that's more a problem at lower levels when pitchers mess around and don't know proper technique.

    Renteria loves bunts, so he probably figured he was giving Castillo credit.

    How many guys did we get nothing for that would have been of any consequence?

    I get that it is pitch f/x data, but how reliable is that for determining the strike zone in every stadium? Each stadium is obviously uniquely designed which makes their systems at least questionable as to the accuracy of how it is measuring strikes. It is one thing to judge speed and movement of any one pitch, but the strike zone is fluid throughout the league, from ump to ump, batter to batter. There are a whole bunch of reasons why a pitch that any one stadium's system determines to be in the zone may be called a ball. The cameras track the trajectory of the ball, and it's accurate to within an inch. Since mounds, distances to the plate, and size of the plate are consistent from park to park, the data will be consistent across the board. Well, an inch is more than nothing. And by definition it cannot maintain consistency from park to park. And putting it on the framer is silly. It also seems like a week isn't nearly enough time to judge something like this.

    That has to be a joke

    No one will ever get used to you.

    I think that's TT transcribing, since the article is not online.

    It's really not that complex and the context is very much understood. The Cubs knew they could get away with losing a lot for multiple years because of the inherited brand value established over the years and instead of trying to build up the farm system while trying to succeed at the major league level, they chose to focus their efforts entirely on the farm system. Some people think that was the only way to do it and are totally cool with it. Others don't think that. What do you think their motive is for "choosing" to lose?

    Funny how everyone makes fun of puff spring training pieces in mid February and then by the first week of March totally buys into them.
  12. Tyrant
    use your words
  13. Tyrant
    He'd probably still have to hit a ton to provide value there.
  14. Tyrant
    This is the saddest thread.
  15. Tyrant
    And you figured a good place to find that out was a comments section? He should have driven to Boston and done a man on the street poll
  16. Tyrant
    I'm always glad to see hoops post here... Yeah it's only been a decade since he had a scoop which was probably a blind lucky guess
  17. Tyrant
    I don't know about that

    The Yankees have had the better teams recently and New York is a more world-famous city than Chicago. There's an argument.
  19. Tyrant
    This is the kind of stuff that will be hilarious to look back on when the Cubs don't get him.

    Given that the best pitcher in the world just got 7/$215, a 7/$182 contract for a far less proven pitcher seems insane to me. I'm not eve n saying I'd be mad about it. Just that it seems insane.
  21. Tyrant
    My guess: It's nothing.
  22. Tyrant
    so you knew what it meant, asked what it meant anyway, and then got pissy when somebody pointed out you should have been able to tell what it meant? Why do you do this? Do you get actual joy out of nitpicking every word everyone says? Jesus.
  23. Tyrant
    But probably not
  24. Tyrant
    kendrick perkins, a draft pick or trade exception and perry jones, ok nice What if you make it Jeremy Lamb. I heard he's the next James Harden, and Perkins will be an expiring contract for the 2015 offseason after Rose recovers from whatever his next injury is. seems unnecessary
  25. Tyrant
    Looks like another great draft pick in 2015.
