on the other hand, the nats are much closer to us talent wise than the freaking cards are Yeah, I'd rather the Cards could pretend they have a sporting chance so we get to kill some kind of expectation. And I'd rather not see the Nats or Dodgers improve.

Cubs trading Soler to KC for Wade Davis
JudasIscariotTheBird replied to Transmogrified Tiger's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Done pending physicals? http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2016/12/07/cubs-acquire-wade-davis-from-royals-in-exchange-for-jorge-soler/ What was all this "no physicals" talk? -
Pom please!

General Baseball Chit-Chat Thread

At least your brother in law isn't a libertarian that still bashes Clinton on his facebook posts daily. You say that like goony's the one suffering I can only feel empathy for Cub fans and liberals. -

And then imagine you are a cubs fans and your brother-in-law is a pirates fan... At least your brother in law isn't a libertarian that still bashes Clinton on his facebook posts daily. -
What does this mean for Matt Murton's chances at making the 40 man?

Well, they don't spend much time at all talking about the nuts and bolts of the stat, apart from saying that not only does it model the likely effect of lots of variables for every pitch (who is hitting, who is fielding, hopefully who the umpire is, what ballpark are you playing in, etc) but it updates the values of each of those variables as time goes by. IMO, it is interesting and is something that is overdue to be explored, but it sounds like over-fitting is a real concern https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overfitting, and I want to know more details about what variables are being used...and how. I've always wondered if a stat that compensated for game situation would be useful. For instance: should a walk with the bases empty and no outs with a two-run lead in the 8th be recorded as the same result as a walk with a man on second in a tie game and 1 out in the 5th? How much more valuable is a HR with no one on, down 2 in the 9th than a walk in the same situation...or a single? Is a walk actually the best outcome for a hitter, since they didn't have to risk putting a ball in play for an out? How much can we credit the pitcher or hitter with for a particular outcome before we are adding more noise than we started with?

Nobody cares about my fantasy team
JudasIscariotTheBird replied to Ding Dong Johnson's topic in Fantasy Sports
I won 15k on a 9 dollar entry on Draftkings about a month ago. Decided now was the time to brag about it. -

What a bunch of turds. What the NYT was planning for a front-page Cubs loss. They obviously spent a lot of time on it.
-
This...I mean...the events of the past week have me thinking that its more likely that not that I'm in the Matrix.

There was also a thread of nothing but Cub failure images during game 7. Most of them were the rote tired stuff, but this one was actually really funny, at least to me. http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4119/4749569938_fc554fc8a4_b.jpg

I like that Milton Bradley was included in that picture that depicts ultimate sportsmanship.

I can completely understand hysterical levels of h8 of Maddon during this game. Games 6 and 7 were easily, EASILY, the worst managed games I've seen him preside over during his Cubs tenure. ...but we still won. I can forgive him when my hangover is gone.
-
I'm guessing GRB will care about the Cubs just a little bit as they kick the piss out of the Cards for the foreseeable future.
-
Hahaha. Who in the living horsefeathers would do that?!?!

What a whimsical, relaxing win. Never trailed! We'll have to make it more climatic next year.
-
I will forever credit my wife's nachos for the win. Somehow, SHE woke up the kids during the final out and not me.

Unprompted and knowing nothing of the details of this message board, my wife is making nachos.

He'll be on RF duty, not much to screw up there. Tonight's home plate ump, Sam Holbrook, appears to be the best in this crew: http://www.hardballtimes.com/mlb-umpires-2016-review-world-series-preview/ http://www.clipartkid.com/images/607/whew-i-m-glad-that-s-over-by-ti-king-graphics-on-deviantart-UpRaP0-clipart.jpg

horsefeathers...just realized Vanover (the villain of game 1) is also umping tonight...
-
To keep myself from posting too much, I'm going to restrict all game-time and post-game comments to images of a particular, awesome thing, and I'll try my best to make them applicable. I hope two of you might smirk a few times.
