    Welcome! Are you a FSU student/grad or did you have the opportunity to catch the D-Cubs recently?
  2. Outshined_One
    Since we all know this one is coming a mile away for the upcoming series, I figured I might as well start the thread on it.
  3. Outshined_One
    Corey Patterson and Dusty Baker returning to Chicago? Let me warm up my vocal cords. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
  4. Outshined_One
    I enjoy the new changes.

    Does anyone else get the feeling the bullpen is going to fade down the stretch at the rate things are going? All of these extra inning games can't be good for them.

    4-2 on the Pennsylvania road trip? I'll take it. Despite it being massively painful at times and each game feeling like it lasted for a week.

    Alex Cora vs Matt Clement? The Franco matchup stung a lot more, imo. Besides, Z ended up plunking Cora quite effectively when he tried doing the same crap to him the next day. I think I laughed for a week after that.
  9. Outshined_One
    This is slowly turning into Julio Franco vs. Kyle Farnsworth Redux.
  10. Outshined_One
    Oh look, Burrell's here to end our suffering.
  11. Outshined_One
    Remember Sosa's 10th inning walkoff against Lidge back in 2004 (I think)? That was awesome.
  12. Outshined_One
    Brad Lidge, eh? I have some fun memories of the Cubs teeing off against him in the past. Let's have that happen here.
  13. Outshined_One
    Mike Hampton? Ok, so there is one. Mo Vaughn.
  14. Outshined_One
    We have ourselves a winner!
  15. Outshined_One
    So, who's ready for the Cubs to blow it in the bottom of the 9th?
  16. Outshined_One
    Lou loves decoys like Dusty loves his double switches.
  17. Outshined_One
    Pie's getting a chance to dig himself out of his rut, it seems. Let's see how this turns out.
  18. Outshined_One
    Hey Lou, you put Cedeno in for the wrong guy.
  19. Outshined_One
    Go away, Cubs.
  20. Outshined_One
    Can't wait to see a resurgence of those insane Lincecum for Crede rumors.
  21. Outshined_One
    Charlie Manuel is now a believer in instant replay in baseball.
  22. Outshined_One
    Remind me again who thought it would be a good idea to put Marquis in the rotation and keep Lieber or Marshall out of it?
  23. Outshined_One
    I don't think the cubs will rush him either. At only 19, he needs innings at various levels through out the system. there is an outside shot he might get bumped up to Daytona very late in the year just to get his feet wet. With a solid year this year, (looks great so far) he will definately be in Daytona next year though. But certainly no need to rush thihs kid. Welcome aboard! I think the key thing for Rhee this season is physical and mental health. We know he has incredible talent. He is young, still filling out his frame, and has a long way to go before reaching his ceiling. Everything he needs to be successful is there. However, we need to keep in mind that this is his first season in professional baseball. The last thing the Cubs should do to him is get him out of his comfort zone and rush him this season. Right now, their focus should be on building up his confidence and on keeping him mechanically sound. Next season, they can start challenging him.

    One problem with this point of view. They traded those guys for Josh Beckett in 2005 (along with Harvey Garcia and Jesus Delgado), the year after they won the World Series. In 2004, Ramirez mostly split time between A+ and AA and had zero chance of being called up to the team in 2004. Anibal Sanchez pitched 76 innings in short season ball in 2004. There was even less of a chance to see him get called up to the majors that season than Ramirez.

    Is VORP a good stat to use for pitchers? Because last year he was 34th in the league. 34th among starters? That makes no sense. So he's a number 2? He said 34th in the league, not in baseball. If that's 34th among starting pitchers, then I don't get it. How could there have possibly been 33 starters in the NL ahead of him last season? Notice he said pitchers, rather than starting pitchers. In other words, according to the VORP he used, Hill last season was the 34th overall best pitcher in VORP, rather than 34th best starting pitcher. However, I'd like to see more about this ranking, such as if it's the old VORP (meaning relievers get significantly better treatment) or what sample size cutoffs were used for pitchers.
