Today's first inning chant was to leave the ballpark

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. -

1st round picks in the Epstein era: Almora - .950 OPS in AAA with plus CF D Bryant - a baseball engine of death Schwarber - 3 win HR hitter from the start, now part machine Happ - 1.000 OPS in High-A as a 21 yo 2B please turn down GM jobs forever, Jason McLeod -
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?

La Stella has a 1.090 OPS. He's hitting .375 on a .348 BABIP.

Catching depth is now an issue
Transmogrified Tiger replied to jersey cubs fan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
If Montero spends the minimum amount of time on the DL, you're talking about 10 games. Ross is going to play regularly regardless of who comes up, so you're talking about 2 games or about 10 PA for whoever is brought up. It's very easy to see how that 10 PA is not terribly consequential and that it's better for Contreras's development to continue getting the regular playing time and not have him interrupted by 10 days on the big league bench so that he can be like one single better than Federowicz in a trivial amount of playing time. -
General Baseball Chit-Chat Thread
Transmogrified Tiger replied to David's topic in General Baseball Talk
At least 3 players need to be on each side of 2nd base, 2 on the dirt and 1 in the OF. You'd still have people shifting up to the boundary, but that would prevent the LH hitter shift and limit the RH shift. -
It's a flimsy connection but I'm gonna post it anyway: [tweet] [/tweet]

that is one of the worst errors I've seen in a long time

I saw one beat writer saying that is the plan.
