I like Gold Gloves and I cannot lie: the Jason Heyward thread
UMFan83 replied to NOLA's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Interesting read. I hope this is the Cubs working on his pitch selection and knowing what they are doing. -
They should focus on getting to .500 first
-
This is the first time I've ever thought "Good thing Lester is starting so it guarantees Ross is in the lineup" Not that the other dude didn't have a good game last night, but we're talking about David freaking Ross here.
-
7-1 but yeah
-
How is that even possible? Holy hell
-
Ok get a real pitcher in
-
Javy and Addy the best defensive left side of IF ever
-
Fuuuuck. Denying us the first dong of the series.
-
Our baseball team is of a superior quality and skill level compared to other baseball teams.
-
Neise was obviously afraid to challenge him causing him to throw it away. Should be an RBI for Dex in my book
-
Dammit. I feel like we should just put him in the lineup every game for a month and if he doesn't start hitting, he's a bench guy
-
Jorge, hit a grand slam or you're cut
-
We are a pretty good baseball team I think
-
Hahaha
-
Come on guy who won't be on the roster in 2 weeks
-
I will cry if Rizzo has a broken foot
-
To the 8 hole you go Jorge
-
I have to say, Jake is way too good to be pitching on WPWR
-
Looks like the Sox DFA'd Danks like 3 years too late
-
I ride or die with Beilein but what the heck is going on over there. What a strange offseason, 4 transfers, mini-scandal with Spike being refused the right to transfer in the Big Ten, 2 assistants leaving, losing out on that grad transfer we wanted. Maybe nothing is going on, you can make understandable cases for everyone leaving (Spike no PT, Doyle semi forced out/not great fit with Mo's rise late, Dawkins playing with dad, Kam not living up to his top 50 recruit hype, the assistant coaches took HC jobs), but it seems strange that its all happening at once.
-
they struggled against the press last year. Spike will help that. Sad he ended up at another Big Ten school but I suppose it was always pretty likely.

"+The basic formula is 25% team winning percentage, 50% opponents' average winning percentage, and 25% opponents' opponents' average winning percentage." Reading is tough for me, thanks

5/2 Cubs (Hammel) @ Pirates (Cole) 6:05 CSN/ESPN

Probably at some point in the late 90s (wasn't the Wood 20K game a sparsely attended one?), but your point is well-made nonetheless. We did have a game in those dark dark days of 2013 (September vs the Marlins) that got as low as 20,696. I wonder if that's the lowest since 2000 or maybe early in 01...I'm guessing the tide officially turned on that in like 01. I looked this morning, we had ~18,500 to a game in early 2002. I think 2003 was the start of the modern era of Cub fandom, but even then under 20k at a game was a rare well into the 90s -
The Cubs must be getting good because I am into power rankings and offense at being slighted by them again. But seriously, this one is math based right? http://espn.go.com/mlb/stats/rpi The Cubs are 3rd behind the 2nd place White Sox (RD +25, SOS slightly better, expected WL would put them 4 GB Cubs) and.....the 15-11 Philadelphia Phillies with a run differential of -23, expected WL of 10-16, and 15-11 overall record after getting smashed by the Cardinals last night.
