Hey great, yet another failed bunt.

2014 Draft Discussion
Tryptamine replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Remember Robert Whitenack? He was having a break out season then had TJS and came back. He got released like 3 months later because his velocity and stuff was just entirely gone. -
This may be the biggest statistical fluke I've ever seen. Johnny Cueto is now sporting a 99.5% strand rate and .160babip through 72IP. That has to be comparable to a hitter having a .500babip at this point in the year.
-
Good news, after today's games the Cubs will have the worst winning percentage in baseball. No more of this #4 pick nonsense.
-
Throwing strikes is hard.
-
All Olt has to do is be a .230/310/450 guy for me to be happy. With his defense and the lack of league wide talent at 3B that probably makes him a solid 2 to 2.5 fWAR player.
-
Now they're saying they're not sure if it's a strain or sprain due to the press release and press conference differing. Big difference, so hopefully it gets cleared up. Don't we go through this like once or twice a year? A sprain and a strain are the same type of injury. A strain is muscle related while a sprain is ligament related no? If so, they aren't the same.
-
There we go, that's about right.
-
Can we go more than 5 minutes without hearing how great Yadier is at everything?
-
Too many things are going right, this game is getting rained out.
-
Bourjos covers a ridiculous amount of ground.
-
hah, he already called Castillo Castro. Didn't he do that half a dozen times last game?
-
Well this has been a nice start.
-
I realize this team sucks, but damn I've never seen ESPN have every single segment dedicated to only one of the teams. You barely even know who the Cardinals are playing based on the coverage.

2014 Draft Discussion

If Gordon really is on a comparable level to Lindor then take him and move on and try to forget about this fiasco. -
I am so close to just ignoring pitchers in the first round entirely unless they are just leagues better than the hitters available.
-
Tulo has played in 37 out of 40 games so far this year and accumulated 3.6fWAR. That total puts him ahead of the team total of 13 other teams. His current 3.6fWAR is equal to the total fWAR of the Astros,Padres,Cubs and Diamondbacks combined.
-
Once Samardzija and Hammel are traded, this team may be 2003 Detroit Tigers bad.
-
Sandberg is putting Dusty Baker to shame today. He runs Cole Hamels out for 133 pitches on his 4th start coming off of shoulder issues. He then wont use Papelbon 3 days in a row, instead opting to use Robert Hernandez for the save. Hernandez had just thrown 99 pitches on Friday.
-
Again, why is Russell still on this team?
-
On the bright side, I am so damn happy Sandberg isn't out manager. He just sent Cole Hamels out for the 7th already at 116 pitches and on only his 5th start after a long term shoulder related DL stint. He finishes with 133 pitches.
-
Stroman got lit up today. I'm starting to like him as a head piece less and less. At this point he'd almost have to be a secondary piece.
-
Pretty sure the 2B dropped the ball after the tag.
-
I guessed the Cubs would score 6 total runs this series, so that means they're due for a nice 4 run outing today.

Tryptamine replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
The list just got finished and I already see two people I want to see moved up significantly in Tseng and Torres.
