    Jackson piggybacking Pina again?
  2. Transmogrified Tiger
    Neither of the ankle injury wondertwins Pie and Vitters played tonight.
  3. Transmogrified Tiger
    haha, how obnoxious and unnecessary

    If you had made this evaluation a month ago, Ramirez was right where Braun is now(to speak nothing of where Braun was a month ago, or of the fact that Ramirez has done this for the four previous seasons). But Braun is a "middle of the order beast" and Ramirez isn't? yes, because ryan braun is a better hitter than aramis ramirez. I give up then.

    I did. It's now Raw's turn. Well that all happened very quickly. My bad for not reading.
  7. Transmogrified Tiger
    I didn't remove anything. In fact I specifically said "I'm not saying he's a sub .850 guy". My point is that with two months of the season left to play, making declarative statements about the level of players can be deceiving, especially when they are as hot as Braun is right now, or as cold as Ramirez has been. I mean, Ramirez's GPA has been at least on par with 2008 Braun's(even including his great run right now) for each of the last 4 years. Do you really want to make the argument that Ramirez is no longer at that level because he had a terrible slump in the last month?
  8. Transmogrified Tiger
    Braun's 2007 is skewed by his flukish LHP split(wonder of wonders, he's not OPSing 1.480 against them this year). This year we're seeing his numbers at the pinnacle of a hot stretch(around a 1.200 OPS the last two weeks, around 1.400 in the last week). His OPS was under .850 less than a month ago, and under .875 under 2 weeks ago. I'm not saying he's a sub .850 guy, but I'm saying he's probably not the .925 or whatever he's at right now.

    Remember to PM IMB!, he's got ChiCubs' list.
  10. Transmogrified Tiger
    really? i'd sure like those .315 EqA hitters to reveal themselves, because my eye only sees one guy - and that was just for one season of a 10-year career. Braun's not a .315 EqA guy either, he's probably a little under .300, just like Lee, Ramirez, and to a lesser extent Soriano.
  11. Transmogrified Tiger
    .919 OPS going into today (and his HR today just made that higher), and .963 career OPS. .580 SLG this year. He may not have the best patience at the plate but he's definitely a class above our best hitters. Not a big class above but a class above nonetheless Braun is Soriano without the ginormous contract. His OPS is that high because he's in the midst of a Soriano-like hot streak. Don't be tricked into opinions about the true talent level of players because a couple of our guys are in a slump.
  12. Transmogrified Tiger
    Let's not put Braun in the same category as Utley or Pujols. The Cubs have 3 hitters who are every bit as good as him.
  13. Transmogrified Tiger
    Reyes has 2 doubles and now a HR, 5-4 Mets over StL
  14. Transmogrified Tiger
    I'm only following on Gameday, but apparently Kansas City just sac bunted Billy Butler to 2nd with Gordon. In the 4th inning of a 2-0 game. Then Hillman came out and got himself ejected. Bizarre.
  15. Transmogrified Tiger
    It's not the offense itself though, it's how the offense masks Daniel's weaknesses compared to him playing in an NFL offense. QB's that are 6-3 don't have that concern, regardless of their college offense.
  16. Transmogrified Tiger
    I think part of it is that Edmonds hasn't been healthy enough to play with any regularity in a couple weeks, and he just had a long layoff with the all-star break too. With Soriano back, keeping Fontenot's hot bat in the lineup means that Kosuke plays CF or DeRosa doesn't play(which is heresy).
  17. Transmogrified Tiger
    Which FB?
  18. Transmogrified Tiger
    Daniel's offense has no shortage of gimmicks as well. Daniel has the arm, decision making ability, and leadership qualities to be an NFL QB, but I wonder about him being a guy who has to take the majority of snaps under center(he's been running a spread since high school), instead of in a deeeep shotgun with huge splits that allows his shorter stature to see throwing lanes.
  19. Transmogrified Tiger
    That was right down the middle of the plate.
  20. Transmogrified Tiger
    not a strike
  21. Transmogrified Tiger
    Dropping the Edmonds/Johnson platoon for a RF doesn't improve upon our current offensive production.
  22. Transmogrified Tiger
    It's impossible for us to add offense. There's no one to replace.
  23. Transmogrified Tiger
    Can Hermida hit arbitration already so we can trade for him and move Kosuke to CF?
  24. Transmogrified Tiger
    Dirty, dirty slider by Gaudin.
  25. Transmogrified Tiger
    Andino could've high fived Kosuke in right field with a turn around first that wide, what was he thinking.
