    19 ER in his last 4.2 IP for Shields

    there is no way GarPax is going to trade his best player to Thibs unless he was offering Anthony-Towns and/or Wiggins

    Is it bad that I'm celebrating a ground out like it was a base hit?
  4. UMFan83
    Look out Kerry, Roger and Randy

    Relative to his age I am not disappointed at all, he's the 3rd youngest player in the NL, has less than 800 PA's above AA and has shown the ability to walk, which I think is very important when a player is struggling elsewhere. As for power, the guy has 17 HRs in just over a full season's worth of PAs. I think that is within my realm of expectations. The strikeouts are concerning, but not enough to erase the fact that he's still developing and has looked bad enough to where I am changing my long term projection of him. What I thought was bad about the post was that: 1) He immediately dismisses age 2) He apparently expected him to resemble Barry Larkin, who had a worse OPS+ in his first 2 seasons (age 22 and 23) than Russell (age 21 and 22), right off the bat 3) He is already in his head preparing for Torres to replace Addison as his SS of the future Just think its silly and overreacts to his first 750 PA that were taken at an age many players are still in AAA. But I consider you a better baseball mind than I, so if you say we should be concerned, maybe I can start to be.

    Damn, I almost forgot that I should only farm Cubs Reddit for content, not actually to engage in any discussions with the posters. Someone today commenting me saying that nothing I've seen from Russell this season has changed my expectations for his ceiling.

    Scherzer against RH in 2016: .149/.167/.297/.464 Scherzer against LH in 2016: .276/.372/.526/.898 Cubs batting righty against Scherzer in May: 1-10 with 0 BB (John Lackey was the lone hit) Cubs batting lefty against Scherzer in May: 6-13 with 3 BB and 6 XBH guessing lineup is something like Fowler, Heyward, Bryant, Rizzo, Zobrist, Coghlan, Russell (he hits much better against righties than Javy), Miggy

    It wasn't a bad series, but wasn't great either IMO. I will miss hockey though.

    [tweet] [/tweet] Awesome for Rizzo to give "tfed" one last major league experience while he's still here

    Arbitrary endpoint fun OPS since... April 21 (39 G): .751 May 11 (25 G): .814 May 28 (15 G): .917 June 2 (10 G): 1.026 Also, Heyward ended his OPS at .682 yesterday, which is the highest he's ended a game at any point this season, even in the first couple of games of the year.
  11. UMFan83
    I know these stats aren't end all be all but we've got ERA edge all 3 games and FIP edge in 2/3
  12. UMFan83
    Got nothing today except: sweep these bums
  13. UMFan83
    Ecuador is locked in now as USA opponent right?
  14. UMFan83
    Did we clear out our whole bench other than Montero?
  15. UMFan83
    Hahahahaha yesssssss
  16. UMFan83
    Did he not get an RBI on his first major league hit?
  17. UMFan83
    Lester live era 1.91
  18. UMFan83
    I can't believe they didn't send the runner. Always easier in retrospect but it would have taken a good relay and at worst they have runner at 2nd and 2 outs. At best they have 2 runs with a runner on 2nd (if they don't cut off the relay) and 1 out
  19. UMFan83
    Dammit.
  20. UMFan83
    4-0 since you said this. Dammit Duke!
  21. UMFan83
    Nice work winning the group!
  22. UMFan83
    So if the score holds, we root for Brazil-Peru tie and somehow Ecuador only beats Haiti by a goal, and Peru scores at least as many goals as Ecuador does in their game. Sounds like most likely opponent is Ecuador followed by Brazil with Peru a relatively small chance (mostly because I see no way Haiti stays within a goal of Ecuador) I know I'm getting ahead of myself here. Finish them off ticos
  23. UMFan83
    See Cubs its that easy. Just hit it out of the park. Lester continues his awesome year against what I have to assume is a 50+ year old former Braves star Ron Gant.
  24. UMFan83
    So win the group with any Colombia loss. Otherwise 2nd place

    RIP Road Bryant meme
