I have no problem with a pitcher pinch running, but Hendricks? Is Wood being saved as a possible pen arm? -
Time for a JavyBomb!
-
Yikes. This guy's wild right now.
-
We've already failed to score runs against pitchers just as [expletive]. No. we haven't. These guys are nowhere near that bad.
-
We face Matt Cain and Jake Peavy in the next two games. If we can't score against them, I'll join the Ski Brigade.
-
He's here! Praise Jesus!
-
I would, but Ski already smashed it into a million tiny pieces.

KB is good out there.

Come on, big fella!

I agree with you there - that's why I've been posting more often when the Cubs do something good. But my initial behavior of only being doom and gloomy means that it will take a while to change this perception. You are insufferable. You've always been insufferable. You used to be insufferable, but you still are, too. Just because you now preface things by saying, "I know it's baseball and stuff happens..." before mentioneding how annoyed you are by a stupid, insignificant thing doesn't mean that you aren't still insufferable. You are.

This is the greatest post in the history of the internet.
-
Alright.
-
Maybe we can stop mentioning ideas like releasing Miggy for a little bit?
-
I'm more annoyed that, against three mediocre pitchers in a row, they've all had their one of a handful of good starts they'll have all season. http://www.campuscluj.ro/images/stories/campus/9ganduricandestitreaz/giphy-13.gif

He's a big league pitcher with decent stuff and he's pitching well today. He was a high strikeout guy in the minors, too.
-
The offense has scored 2 runs in 4 innings. 2 runs in each of the last 2 games, maybe 2 is all they get today as well.
-
The offense has scored 2 runs in 4 innings. Yes, but they got them sleepily.
-
Damn. Good to see, though, Jorge.
-
ugh
-
Miggy!
-
Get going, big fella.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes, 5-19-16
Aaron Kennelly replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Very nice. -
And for your next installment of "What's on Duke's Mind?": Generally, the best course of action with BABIP is to assume everyone will regress back to the mean. It's usually right, because nearly everyone will. There will be guys on the fringes, your Darwin Barneys and Paul Goldschmidts, that won't. But, over enough of a sample, most guys will. It's just that it takes so long for this to stabilize that we won't really know that Paul Goldschmidt is Paul Goldschmidt for awhile. And by that time, he might have changed. What if he starts hitting more fly balls, or pulling the ball more, or loses some speed? Then the BABIP god we knew might not be a BABIP god anymore. But, how do we know for sure? I don't think this version of xBABIP alone will be able to tell us. But maybe it stabilizes faster. And maybe we could combine regular BABIP and xBABIP and something like raw exit velocity and create some sort of panacea to help us understand BABIP freaks in a more timely manner. We can also throw in speed, pull data, shifting data, etc. We can at least get a better understanding.
-
Yeah, I kinda came unhinged. I've been anxiously waiting for Statcast-based xBABIP for awhile now. So I got all hot and bothered.

We went 0-13 in RISP and still got the W. We are owed some delinquent runs, though. Let's get 20 tomorrow.
