The one comparison I saw that helped me put it in perspective: Right now the Braves, at 7-19 and 11 games out of first, are 500 to 1 to win their division.

Better Javy, KB, Zobrist defense?
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Gmoney08's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Yeah, the idea wasn't that Zobrist only ever plays one position, but that he has a consistent defensive home so he didn't end up with a distribution like he did in 2012(where he played at least 47 games at 3 positions). I'm having a hard time with this because I really want Bryant to play 3B as much as possible. Not because I think he's the best 3B ever or anything, but because I want him to get consistent play there so in 2017 and beyond we don't have to question his ability to go back there. The ideal at this point would be to have Zobrist shift to LF until Soler takes playing time away from Baez/La Stella or the Baez/La Stella platoon fails. But given the first paragraph that might be a tricky thing to do from a people management standpoint. -
He looks like someone that gets killed in Bourne movie fight scene

Let's get that 3-1 strike called in the bottom half of the inning, okay thanks

bad strike zone is bad

It doesn't make any sense. Kang got hurt in the top of the first inning of that game, and no Cubs were hit afterward, intentional or otherwise. The idea that they stewed on the injury and then unleashed their fury in the 7th inning of their next meeting(after they had already hit Russell on accident) is more than hard to imagine. They were salty that they got beat(with their ace on the hill, and by the team ahead of them that ended their season last year) and probably annoyed that Marte was banged up(by getting hit for the league leading 6th time already), so they threw at Zobrist to retaliate. It was dumb and they are dumb for doing it.

are you hovering over a zero

a little surprised Fowler didn't make a play on that ball

Today's first inning chant was to leave the ballpark

this is one of the stranger strike zones I've noticed all year

Please be less insufferable.

http://www.hardballtimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/P1-Position.png Given the Cubs schedule to date, Home/Road splits are basically a proxy for game played below/above 60 degrees. Heyward has a .279 OPS (yes, OPS) at Home and .771 on the Road thus far.

Zobrist has to ensure that tag, he wasn't that rushed to get the runner on first.
-
Lackey hadn't given up any hits at the time. Still dumb, but that's why he would be upset.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes, 4-28-16
Transmogrified Tiger replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
devil's advocate (and i love this FO as much as anyone and we all know that you can easily screw up early round picks) - all of those guys were relatively early picks in the 1st round i want some of these damn random 6th rounders to come out of nowhere and turn into real guys. i realize it's easier said than done with overslots being less of a thing than when they were finding guys in boston. just give me a dylan cease breakout this year or something. or can some random older dude like stephen bruno or hanneman become a cardinal-like thing? I wasn't being overly serious, but even high in the draft, it's a remarkable hit rate. The Twins have had a very similar set of picks and haven't converted nearly as well, for example. The Pirates had 7 Top 10 picks in a 9 year span and came out of it with Paul Maholm and Pedro Alvarez(they also drafted Neil Walker and McCutchen at 11 in that span, but you get what I'm driving at). I'd like to see some more surprises at the MLB level too though. I think Contreras is a good player development story, and there's some bench player candidates that have some promise. It'd be nice to get a pitcher to break out every now and then, that's the real negative on their Cubs track record. -

I'm guessing he went for a MRI already if they know it's a mild sprain? This seems to clarify: [tweet] [/tweet]

Gameday says Ramirez is sitting 91 with a 4 seamer. It is cold and it is April, but that's not good.

He hasn't given up an earned run since the Truman administration, so maybe when that happens?
