    I have to wonder that in a game where we needed 4 IP out of the bullpen, and had used 4 relievers yesterday(and Marmol and Wood had both thrown in 5 of 8 games), why Eyre, who has thrown less than 30 pitches in the past week, wasn't used.

    http://www.baseball-reference.com/pi/psplit.cgi?n1=wuertmi01#situa-clutc Wuertz is at his best in Close and Late situations.
  3. Transmogrified Tiger
    yay its Wuertz Thank goodness he and Howry were awesome in May, otherwise Marmol could start picking his rehab destination of choice
  4. Transmogrified Tiger
    They used Ankiel to start the inning, so all they had on the bench was Kennedy, Ryan, and LaRue. They were kinda hosed no matter what.
  5. Transmogrified Tiger
    punt or kick either really, although depending on that and the type of ball it makes it a little more tricky
  6. Transmogrified Tiger
    what do I look like, a guy who's not lazy
  7. Transmogrified Tiger
    watching Z book it to third is hilarious on so many levels
  8. Transmogrified Tiger
    Why is this in the Top Ten Prospects thread, the guy who posted that there is a moron
  9. Transmogrified Tiger
    good thinking Soriano, it's Petco, the ball is not going over your head
  10. Transmogrified Tiger
    Time to begin preparing Samardzija's HOF bust. 6 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 5/0 K/BB Tony Thomas is 3 for 4 with a double for Daytona.
  11. Transmogrified Tiger
    Hamels has given up 5 HR against us, but only 8 ER, how does that happen
  12. Transmogrified Tiger
    They've played exactly 0 games against Arizona, Atlanta, Florida, New York, and Philadelphia, plus they have 12 games left with us. Wellemeyer is about to surpass his high IP since he was a Daytona Cub in 2002, and Lohse, Piniero, and Looper were all awful in May. They have only 3 hitters OPSing over .800, Pujols, the super overachieving Ludwick, and Ankiel(another person who fell off in May). I think there's plenty of room for them to fall off.
  13. Transmogrified Tiger
    Hopefully Chris Duncan gets traded or released and Dave doesn't see the need to stay around any longer.
  14. Transmogrified Tiger
    To elaborate, get a more bankable OF than McLouth. Looking it up, Pedroia's a better fantasy option than I thought, but you can do better than two guys who have a lot of potential variance in their performance the remainder of the season.
  15. Transmogrified Tiger
    Anyone got more on McKenna or Hudson? McKenna especially seems intriguing as low as 161.
  16. Transmogrified Tiger
    It's been mentioned before, but the Cubs are actually outscoring teams on the road. If that continues, they'll end up a couple games above .500 on the road, which very, very few teams did last year.
  17. Transmogrified Tiger
    22-19 is about an 87 win pace. 12-17 is about a 67 win pace.
  18. Transmogrified Tiger
    I like Blanco catching with Soto DHing against LHP. Neither he nor Cedeno have a platoon split, and the benefit of keeping Soto fresh outweighs the slight benefit of Cedeno getting extra AB's.
  19. Transmogrified Tiger
    He's really come on strong, .677 OPS in April to .944 in May. With no one really at 3B for Daytona(Lansford is just bad), he really should get a look at a promotion soon.
  20. Transmogrified Tiger
    Thumbs down

    Sickels has a 5 round mock up at minorleagueball.com, I'm not sure how many people were involved, but it was a community thing. Here are the Cub picks. 19) Chicago Cubs: Gerrit Cole, RHP, California HS 41) Cubs: David Cooper, 1B, California 65) Cubs: Tim Murphy, LHP, UCLA 97) Cubs: Aaron Weatherford, RHP, Mississippi State 131) Cubs: Kyle Hudson, OF, Illinois 161) Cubs: Mike McKenna, OF, Florida Atlantic
  22. Transmogrified Tiger
    Technically yes, practically no.
  23. Transmogrified Tiger
    Don't forget Cruz.

    I've always found monthly splits as a fun way to see how our perceptions match reality. Here's how May went. Hoffpauir: 15 ABs, .467/.500/.667/1.167 Soriano: 116, .345/.386/.672/1.058 Zambrano: 21, .429/.429/.619/1.048 Ramirez: 88, .318/.429/.489/.917 Blanco: 17, .353/.353/.529/.882 Soto: 96, .271/.357/.510/.868 Fontenot: 32, .250/.429/.438/.866 DeRosa: 87, .310/.364/.471/.835 Fukudome: 99, .293/.388/.404/.792 Theriot: 104, .308/.407/.337/.743 Johnson: 71, .225/.309/.394/.703 Lee: 124, .234 .269/.411/.681 Edmonds: 28, .214/.241/.357/.599 Cedeno: 40, .225/.311/.250/.561 And the pitchers: Eyre: 6.1 IP, 0.00 ERA, 0.69 WHIP, 6/1 K/BB Cotts: 1.2, 0.00, 1.80, 2/2 Wuertz: 13.1, 1.35, 0.98, 8/4 Howry: 15.1, 1.76, 1.24, 15/3 Ascanio: 5, 1.80, 1.40, 3/3 Marmol: 18.2, 1.93, 0.75, 31/7 Dempster: 38.1, 2.35, 1.12, 41/14 Zambrano: 40.1, 2.35, 1.12, 23/15 Wood: 16.2, 2.70, 0.96, 20/4 Gallagher: 26, 4.50, 1.38, 17/10 Lilly: 34.1, 4.72, 1.31, 36/8 Lieber: 15, 4.80, 1.67, 9/1 Marquis: 27.2, 5.53, 1.66, 15/12
  25. Transmogrified Tiger
    Fun fact: Zambrano hasn't given up a run in PetCo. 2 starts, 14 IP, 7 H, 17/7 K/BB
