  1. I only feel comfortable thinking I have a good grasp of defensive capabilities of Cubs because I've seen them enough. Bradley as a -7.7 and Theriot as a +3.3 is pretty damn nuts to me. I understand the concept that if it doesn't give you any unexpected results, then there's no point in having the stat; but there's too much gray area, and too much variance for me to put a whole lot of stock in them.
  2. People are using it because it's readily available on fangraphs after being very difficult to track down for years.
  3. UZR has been around since '00 or '01. It's not new. And it's still spitting out some ridiculous results. I'm not saying dismiss it without looking at it, but it's hard to take it seriously. *Disclaimer* I have a hatred for Mitchell Lichtman usually reserved for the likes of Hitler or Aaron Miles.
  4. Derwood is [expletive] owning this thread. Yep.
  5. What if he hit 29?
  6. I always suspected Hitler played a role in the Hindenburg. I mean I knew Soriano did, but Hitler wasn't certain.
  7. You said Bruce gets behind in the count and can't hit. He showed stats of Bruce hitting while behind in the count compared to league average. How is that out of context?
  8. I've decided I hate Chris Berman more than Steve Phillips and Joe Morgan. Combined.
  9. wow, seriously, way too much concern over the home run derby. bitterness is fantastic. Your face is fantastic. Fantastically ugly.
  10. He's from Belleville. And Schumaker is from California. And his name is Skip.
  11. Neyer can be a real prick. Anywho, Waserstrom is not a stats analyst. He was in some other department collecting those useless stats like BA on Sundays, and is likely the buffoon that came up with whatever ridiculous stat that was Hendry used for Burnitz (something like 4th best BA of guys with 130+ Ks)
  12. Get your head out of the spreadsheets Joe.
  13. Lou uses Soto to pinch hit all the time.
  14. Nobody's going to claim him. Teams will wait til he's a free agent so they don't have to pay his contract.
  15. Oh and Howard Johnson can fix Jeff Francouer in 9 minutes.
  16. Oh, and I got bored, don't think that's the limit of his homering.
  17. Uh, no, I am not. How exactly am I a "homer". To be fair there were a bunch of moronic Cub fans spouting the same idiocy.
