Minor League Discussion & Boxes, 8-13-15
Aaron_Kennelly replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Over his last 9 games, Almora is hitting .543/.628/.743 with only 1 strikeout. -
Huh, coulda sworn they had faced him before, but you are correct. Let's beat him so bad he wants to come back here. We face him in Spring Training and hit four dongs off of him. Soler, Castro, Coghlan, and Rizzo are the ones who went deep.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes, 8-12-15

Jeffrey Baez 2-4 with a double and a triple tonight. He has raised his average from .181 to .274 over the last month. In those 26 games he is: 49/113 with 10 doubles, 2 triples, 5 homers, and 14 stolen bases. His strikeout rate is down to 16.7% this year, after being uncomfortable high his whole career so far, though he isn't walking much at all. -
Or not

Let's keep this streak up of not letting the opposing pitcher see the sixth.
-
Can Coghlan inexplicably put up more dWAR at second than he inexplicably had in left this year?
-
Giants down 2-0 in the 8th.

that doesn't suggest anything of the sortThe smaller the SD the less distance from the best to worst (i.e., data are bunched up). What I find interesting in those numbers is LF. But really, UZR is about as unreliable as a measurement system can be, so whatever. Yes, but it doesn't suggest what he says it does. What it also could suggest is that teams are more willing to throw out a wider range of defenders in the outfield. Some teams might be willing to punt on defense to get a big bat in LF -- e.g., Schwarber -- whereas they wouldn't be willing to do that at second, with someone like Coghlan. Most second baseman are glove-first, slap hitters. So the standard deviation between them probably isn't going to be much. Though, that also might be [expletive]. In reality those numbers suggest nothing.

Hard-hit balls are often hit by slow, lumbering sluggers. Bryant is the opposite of that. Even though his IFH% is likely to drop, he is still going to be well above the average guy with his batted-ball profile. Also most dead-pull hitters hit a lot of hard-hit balls. And there is an inverse correlation to pull% and BABIP. And Bryant isn't a dead-pull hitter.

We just won on Haren's turn, too.

It's a three-run lead and we are facing a bunch of shitty .120 hitters.
-
Yes... because we scored two runs.
-
What's your point? So do you. You're insane. 7-3 at best. You're insane. There is no excuse for leaving runners on base, especially when you don't hit any homers. (He thinks you're serious) OH YEAH?!!?! LET'S WRESTLE. http://media.giphy.com/media/ZFVEOfGFewFj2/giphy.gif

I was being sarcastic.

The advantage he supposedly had over Wada was that we were certain that his arm wasn't going to fall off. And Wada has been getting blasted down at AAA anyway.
-
People are seriously worried about a game we lead by three runs, in the sixth inning, against the shitty Brewers? After we've won 10 of 11 and worked their pitchers for like 453 pitches tonight?
-
Have you been watching the same team as me?

Almora with a single. 7th consecutive multi-hit game. -
Make him pay for that walk.
-
Is a starting pitcher ever going to see the sixth inning against us again?
-
Safe. Should be quick.
-
Almora 1-3 with a double. Five straight games with a double.
