9 pitch inning -
Normally I am really good at perceiving pessimistic trends and I had no idea it was that high.
-
60 thru 3 for Noah vs 27 for Jake
-
Next year we sit zobrist until September so we can get his 2 good months at the right time
-
Rizzo obviously does not see him very well
-
I knew the PC was low but 25 strikes is insane
-
Man 2 on 0 out in each of the first 2 innings and no runs scored
-
We've had the worst base running against the mets this year
-
That....was not optimal
-
Come on Miggy. Big AB
-
Efficient but still getting Ks and a little help from the umpire. Perfect recipe for domination.
-
Rizzo had a couple of good hacks in his AB and he's been so locked in I'm surprised he was fooled by the high heat.
-
He's still walking and hitting for some power which salvaged his OPS a little but he's hitting ~.196 since May
-
Damn you might not get a ton of chances that good to put a crooked number up.
-
I think the Mets guessed Jake wanted to come out and attack hitters thus all the early swings
-
I've seen the Red Sox, White Sox and Giants droughts broken. I don't care about anyone else's freaking droughts, if anything it depresses me when other teams break their droughts.

Find me a deadline deal where anyone near that caliber was traded at the deadline. It doesn't happen often. The market this year is different than last year and next year will be different than this one but in order to get both of those guys from New York it's going to take a ton. My feeling on this is that the Yankees would get a bigger return trading them individually than if they traded them in a single package. I'm not sure if there is any logic behind that, but maybe something to do with scarcity of elite reliever supply gets cut significantly when they deal the first piece, causing teams to up their offers for the second one.

That's just way too much. I don't mind paying a premium price to fill a glaring weakness, but if that is the type of return that it takes to get Miller, I'd much rather acquire a couple of "B" names for LHP in the pen and hope one of them works out. Swap out Happ or Torres with Vogelbach and it's still an overpay but it's not disgusting. Or go get Boone Logan and Jake McGee. I still think that's too much. Vogelbach is fine, but giving up him plus a top 30 prospect (based on midseason prospect rankings) AND another top 100 guy (based on preseason rankings) is too much for a guy that has never pitched more than 63 innings in a season since becoming a full time reliever. He has value and fills a glaring need but you can take a risk in filling his 60 innings with internal options, lesser trades or scrap heap relievers.

We swept the Mets in the regular season last year. Correct, and then the playoffs turned the tide as their starters shut us down. I'm not sure what 'turning the tide of the head to head' means and why that's at all important

Jake stat:
-
Both have been out for over a month (Dex 6/16, Soler 6/6.) Wouldn't they normally start a bit lower? you don't know how rehab works, do you? You miss time, you have to go back to rookie ball to re-earn your roster spot right?

New Benny, and Other changes (Bulls offseason)
UMFan83 replied to WrigleyField 22's topic in Other Sports
So, he was 3 for 10...yeah, 30% isn't great in the long run, but he makes one more of those 7 shots and it's fine...two more and it's a "good" shooting night. This kinda illustrates why a statement like that (especially when you purposely take out two makes) is completely meaningless and silly. It's not a big deal but just a pet peeve for me so rather than bite my tongue I decided to be a dick about it. Hah, thanks The only reason the number stood out to me was because when I turned it on he was 1-8 shooting and they were making a big deal about his poor shooting game. He just happened to make his last 2 shots which were of course both extremely clutch. So I guess you could say he salvaged a bad shooting game. -
I expect 8 dominating innings from Jake tonight. KB hits a HR off a great pitcher, Cubs win 3-0
