Which means everyone's favorite pastime, La Stella at 3rd base. -
If anyone like me was curious, here are the teams that were at least 5 games better than the rest of MLB in the Wild Card era, and how they did in the playoffs. The Cubs are currently 7.5 games better than the next best team. 2011: Phillies +5, Lost LDS 2009: Yankees +6, Won WS 2001: Mariners +14, Lost LDS 1999: Yankees +8, Won WS 1995: Indians +10, Lost WS Also worth noting that no team has been more than 2 games better than the rest of MLB in the two wild card era.

If I can be needlessly contrarian, I'll say Ryan Williams is our best pitching prospect, as long as his mystery injury is an actual injury and he wasn't kidnapped by the cartel or something. De la Cruz is a better prospect than Cease though.

Kyle Hendricks: Somehow Greg Maddux
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Aaron_Kennelly's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Hendricks leads MLB in ERA by nearly half a run, the gap between him and 2nd in the NL is the same as the gap between 2nd and 9th. -
Shohei Ohtani Signs with the Angels
Transmogrified Tiger replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Sorry, but as the URL clearly says, that is the last word on baseball. Maybe next time. -
The Cardinals winning percentage extrapolates to 82.5 wins over 156 games, so you can count those as forfeits and technically the Cubs are a rounding error ahead.

That's a fun game to play, if the Cubs just stopped playing right now how many teams would pass them in win count. Using current winning percentages the current answer is 8, although 2 teams are right on the threshold of falling off(Detroit and Baltimore). NL only the answer is 2.

every high leverage Heyward hit has a max exit velocity of 45 mph
-
His previous hit was to right center I believe
-
Not sure he actually swung but yay
-
Nunez trying to steal 3rd on Contreras while a lefty is at the plate seems like a stupidly risky decision
-
he's reaching the point where he's increasing the difficulty just to not be bored by a mundane tag
-
how did Leonys Martin ever do it
-
DON'T HURT WILLSON

It was so obvious Zobrist threw up his hands in exasperation from 2nd base
-
what a savvy play by Zobrist
-
Bochy still has 7 relievers left after this change, he can almost literally do this forever.
-
He moves like someone constantly surprised by the amount of gravity on Earth.
-
The Giants have had more than one LF taking crummy routes today.

When one run is disproportionately important, it's not that simple. seems to me the odds of scoring one run don't increase that much with 1 out and a runner on 2nd vs 0 out and runner on first anyway, without even taking into account that you're talking about wasting a good hitter http://www.tangotiger.net/re24.html That's showing you mean and not median. I've also thought that it's a little simplistic to look at on the whole since bunting falls into both categories(save for failed bunts).
-
fyi I do not advocate bunting with Fowler here
-
Soler saw one strike in that PA and hit it 450 feet foul that is how to work a plate appearance
-
i don't care if bad hitters bunt. i hate hate hate giving away outs with good hitters. When one run is disproportionately important, it's not that simple.
-
No problem with Fowler's bunt yesterday or Contreras bunting there. Would've been a little annoyed if Heyward had actually bunted given how many of his probable outcomes are similar to bunting.
