    thankfully the only team worse than us at hitting is the team we're facing

    i am a member of wcfb, but looking at it from a fan of another team's perspective, why should i join a chicago bears discussion board to discuss football in general with posters i'm familiar with?

    i give the credit to the 80 year old scout who saw something special in andre ethier

    without his veteran skills he probably would have given up 8 earned runs
  14. rocket
    He's right!! No, J/K. I definitely got a chuckle thinking about some Cards fan going out back and burning baseball cards of Ankiel. LOL. it's probably cubbette's cousin in st. louis

    anyone have a video? Click on Ryan Braun's 3 run dinger Cubs fans are way overreacting to this. This is nothing different than ARam sometimes. Hell, it's no different than what Griffey or Bonds do after every homerun.

    again, I have to question the validity of that statistic - you can't strike out on the first pitch. i think it's valid. for the most part, if a player swings at the first pitch, it's the exact pitch he's looking for in the location he wants it. that results in a harder hit ball.
  17. rocket
    sure you did.
  18. rocket
    that's different. soto's a cub.

    the cards should have to forfeit their world series because of this.

    I WANT TO CHANGE MY VOTE TO ANKIEL
  21. rocket
    It should. Oh really, then take time out of your busy damn schedule and explain it to me rather than insulting me for not knowing stats that aren't even officially accepted. if you disregard it as "crap", why should people bother to explain it to you? anyways, google is your friend.

    Wow. Gotta love the quote there from Blanco. Good to see he knows his role on the team. he got paid over 5 million dollars to know his role on the team.

    Dempster

    rocket replied to ragirag's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk

    Papelbon - 1.61 ERA, 75 K/15 walks, .77 WHIP Dempster - 3.88 ERA, 48K/27 walks, 1.28 WHIP. But hey, at least his performance in situations arbitrarily defined by a meaningless statistic is only marginally worse than Papelbons! (Also, let's not mention the two tie games he entered and singlehandedly let get out of reach) I can't believe how comfortable people are with Ryan closing out games. I'm not arguing his numbers. I don't feel he is the best closer on the team, and when he's off, he is REALLY off, and allows more then just 1 run.. He allows the game to get into an unmanageable lead. Is that his fault? Yes. You're closer should in no way allow 5 hits, and 4 runs in one inning. but it happens. even to great ones. the best hitter on your baseball team shouldn't go 0-4, but that happens too. everyone has a bad game.

    Dempster

    rocket replied to ragirag's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk

    dempster is fine. every closer blows a save. ryan does it less frequently this year than other pitchers. to call for his removal for one bad game is ridiculous.
  25. rocket
    Yep, he's done a good job this year. Now it's up to his teammates to pick him up and score some runs in the 9th. Dempster - ERA after today 3.5+. SOs/IPs = 48/55 Marmol ERA 1.45. 77/56 Saves are misleading. Dempster gets hit hard and doesn't strike out enough guys to be a good closer which is why he is constantly in trouble even when he does get lucky saves. While I completely agree that saves are misleading, to say that Dempster gets hit hard is inaccurate. Coming into this game, opponent have put up a line of .197/.296/.275 against Dempster this season. no. it's a lucky .197/.296/.275
