Was just reading your comment yesterday about England being an insular country and their ignorance, and then I read this quote, too perfect. There's enough smoke out there to tell me that Jurgen is anywhere from open to leaving USMNT to actively trying to depart, even if it is all coming from England. For him it makes sense, he can say he left on a high note by finishing 4th in Copa, even if we were the host country and there are many statistics that show we played rather poorly for the entire tournament.

    One thing I did not see addressed in this article as a concern is Addison's continued struggle against LHP. For his career he has 25 hits in 175 AB against LHP, although 14 of those hits have been for extra bases (10 doubles, 4 HR) and his walk rate is 23% vs. 8% against RHP, but perhaps part of that reason is that he is not swinging at as many pitches because he knows he can't hit them. Some rudimentary numbers, ill let the smart guys handle the advanced stuff. Career vs RHP: .271/.334/.422/.757, 8% BB%, 30% K%, .358 BABIP Career vs LHP: .143/.250/.269/.519, 23% BB%, 33% K%, .188 BABIP Reverse splits always confuse the hell out of me as its understandable why many hitters struggle against same handed pitchers, but the reasons why, are inversely the reasons why many hitters are much better against opposite handed pitchers. So it doesn't make sense to me and my feeling is always that reverse splits are either a) Flukes or b) at least much more fixable than for instance a lefty that mightily struggles against LHP. Any thoughts/ideas/theories? I really don't want our awesome SS to be a platoon guy because he can't hit lefties, although for this season it works because Javy kills lefties.

    Fun fact: If we play at the same pace we have since our 25-6 start (which is 25-20, a 90 win pace over a full season), we will finish 98-64 which would be the most wins in a season since 1945

    There's really not a lot of 40 roster help in Iowa. We do have a spot open on the 40 but do you want to burn that on Black for (presumably) 1 game? Otherwise you are talking about Aaron Brooks, who has been starting and been bad, and Giovanni Soto who has been really bad

    Also awesome about the win is it does not let the Cubs fall behind the Rangers for best record in baseball.
  6. UMFan83
    I thought it was awesome regardless of outcome Coghlan for Almora was bad, as was PH Addison and having him bunt and then not keeping his glove in the game.

    Also I'm slightly disappointed that nothing has hit into left field for the 3 innings there has been a relief pitching manning it.

    Ok about 45 mins ago I would have said this was a terribly managed game by Maddon but since it worked out: Best. Game. Ever!
  11. UMFan83
    It's either him or Hammel out there
  12. UMFan83
    So does that mean the only people not used in this game are Arrieta, Hendricks and Lackey?
  13. UMFan83
    Winner
  14. UMFan83
    Reds bullpen ERA tonight: 5.00
  15. UMFan83
    Thank you Hoover
  16. UMFan83
    I will be so mad if that comes back to bite us
  17. UMFan83
    Now please don't be like the Nats game
  18. UMFan83
    Just please do something besides K or GIDP
  19. UMFan83
    Hoover has allowed at least 1 ER in 9 of his 17 appearances this year
  20. UMFan83
    Hoover has allowed at least 1 hit in 13 of his 17 appearances this year

    Their June splits suggest they are pretty pedestrian but I mean no Fowler and Soler does hurt. Like Soler or not at least he has good ABs. Or better ones than Baez.
  22. UMFan83
    The Reds offense would be such buzzkills if they scored a run to prevent the bullpen nono. I mean you have Pitcher Spot # 2, June Zobrist and Heyward due up its practically a gimme
  23. UMFan83
    Yep!! Exciting isn't it!
  24. UMFan83
    Strop
  25. UMFan83
    Like Joe realizes we now have to have a pitcher play the field for however long this game goes right?
