    There should be a thread devoted to words coined at NSBB called the Dickpoletionary Yanr could edit.

    1 1/3 lifetimes. The medians from 2 generations have lived and died since the cubs won

    I disagree, there's a big difference between playing murton and cedeno, who appear to belong at the major league level in some capacity, and playing everyone in the minors you think might possibly be ready for the majors. You could, if you wanted, run out 10 minor leaguers every day. You would almost certainly lose more if you did. Somewhere between that extreme and playing a couple guys who are having solid season is a point where you're evaluating kids at the expense of trying to win

    but he'll be on the playoff roster!

    There's simply no reason going shorter would give you a higher ERA. Many relievers have ERAs under 15. Some even have ERAs under 4! While having 1 bad game will hurt you more if you pitch fewer innings per game, you're less likely to have bad games (fewer disaster innings) and more likely to have runless outtings. Also, after tonight's game I believe he's 16th in IP.

    4 should-be errors. Jebus, this team looks dumber than the cubs
  7. Careless
    Wow, the reds would have 3 errors if you could get an error on the second part of a double play. Oh, ESPN's pregame, that's what I wasn't thinking of. Didn't think that the refs would be around to see it at that point

    ? Trotter and Mathis have been ejected for "throwing punches" When???? I'm so confused who gets ejected before the game The Monday Night Football game. The guys got in an altercation and the refs ejected them for throwing punches. I guess if you call shoving "throwing punches" then that's what happened. But the game hasn't started

    horray macias! it's like a delayed double play

    14 of 23, .060 from the bottom and .196 from the top if you remove #1 and #23 (yes, that's unfair statistical analysis because #2 is .001 off #1 while #23 is .020 from #22,. but I'm sticking with it anyway) But yeah, he is fairly cheap and hasn't been nearly as bad as one would expect. if you A) fire dusty so he bats at the bottom, B) get more hitting on the team, and C) can promise that he won;t hit like he did before this season, (oh, and D) he signs extremely cheaply), he wouldn't be such a terrible choice for next season. You can't do that though.

    Economize his innings? maddux is 26th in baseball in IP, 18th in the NL. Add 6% to his innings (this start should give him 3-4% more) and he's in the top 10. It's a tightly packed list . No one aside from Weaver (excluding lieber because of home ballpark) has as many innings with a worse ERA. Maddux throws fewer pitches now and makes fewer outs in a game, that's true, but that's a point against him. He is not still an excellent pitcher. Batters are hitting over .030 higher against him these days (and it's been steadily increasing the past 3 years) They're slugging 0.90 higher than his career average, also up each of the last 3 years. For some reason the OBP column is blank, but an OPSA .111 higher than his career averages (again, rising every year, but in this case up every year since 99, a bad year, and rising for several years before that.) Maddux is declining and has been for a while. He's lost his excellence along the way and he knows it. Anyone ever seen an attempt to calculate what sort of damage maddux's poor ability at keeping runners from stealing hurts him (if it even does, blanco is insanely good at throwing em out)

    *sigh* Absolutely unbelievable Hey, patterson managed a foul tip! it's contact!
  16. Careless
    Horray for macias!
  17. Careless
    Baker is an idiot
  18. Careless
    I agree that he has come up with some timely hits. Unfortunately, with a better hitter at the top, DLee's RBIs increase, putting us in fewer critical late game situations. What the hell does that mean? someone who gets on base hitting at the top of the order means we score more runs so we aren't tied 2-2 in the 8th
  19. Careless
    someone have that foul pole moved
  20. Careless
    to follow up on my stupid post, it's only 1 bs, in the others his runner tied the game but another pitcher let him score.
  21. Careless
    this wasn't a save opportunity. yeah, um, caught me before I could edit out my stupidity :oops:
  22. Careless
    has latroy now blown saves in all 4 appearances he's made against the cubs?
  23. Careless
    wow, i totally spaced on that this year. i was so busy with the cubs playoff run
  24. Careless
    still trying for shortest gamethread ever?
  25. Careless
    The problem here is that you think that a pitcher who gets screwed with poor run support is a pitcher who "cannot win". you are wrong. That is all that needs to be said.
