Why is Keller in? That seems stupid.

Look at the brightside! (realistic optimism inside)
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Jazz's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Marmol walks .75 batters per IP at the age of 24. That's never good. He's a converted catcher, which means his progression may not be picture perfect. He walked only 2.63 per 9 innings in Iowa this year. If he can keep that up, then great. But you've got a prospect who wasn't thought of as a pitcher at first, has a spotty record and is getting old for prospect status. That screams mediocre to me. 24 really isn't that old for a pitching prospect, especially one who was a converted position player. Also, Marmol's walk rate has improved nearly every year in addition to him being promoted through the system. 2003: 5.34 BB/9 at Rookie Ball 2004: 3.08 at Low A 2005: 4.60 at High A 2005: 4.43 at AA 2006: 3.88 at AA 2007: 2.63 at AAA -

Gotta be somebody, with Marshall, Marmol, and Guzman all with the big league club, and Miller soon to be cut. -

Someone mentioned this in the game thread. I think ERA is and should be a pitching statistic, not pitching + fielding.

Significantly cheaper? The chance to dream that mediocre prospects (with the exception of Pie) will miraculously get better just because they are young and suddenly become very good? Marmol isn't mediocre, and the others are replacing middle relief, it's the definition of their future role. -
I don't like that this official keeps rewarding dives that are really blatant.
-
That was crappy. Clear the ball.

Beasley deposits a PK dead center after getting taken down by the Chinese keeper on a run. 1-0 USA

Jim Hendry is worse than Ed Lynch
Transmogrified Tiger replied to JeffH's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
yeah, this place has been all sunshine and optimism lately. thank goodness you're here to bring everyone back down to earth. I wish people would stop quoting him. I've got him on ignore, but I still end up seeing all his posts because people keep egging him on. :x How do you put someone on ignore? The option is at the bottom of a post when you have Premium. -
Pagan wasn't stealing third, the ball kicked away from Saltalalalalalalalamasdhdchia, but not very far and he barehanded the bounce and threw him out. Yeah my friend just told me that. I was at the Miami/Kent State game before Miami blew it wide open, so I missed another Cubs debacle. You left that game too early, Kent just loaded the bases with two outs, and it's 8-7. Eh, humid as hell and raining on and off. They couldn't pull off the comeback anyway, leadoff double gets cut down at 3rd on a sac bunt. Miami wins 8-7

Where do you get them?

Elimination game in CoMo has turned out to be entertaining. Miami led Kent State 8-1 heading to the bottom of the 8th, but 6 runs later Kent still has 2 on with 2 out.

The kicked hat looks like it's photoshopped.

b_wiggy_66 wins Did he get banned? I might be confusing him with someone else.
-
Oh wait. I was in the other room, he brought him in to face 3 rightys? You have got to be freaking kidding me? To be fair, there was one LH hitter at the beginning. You know, the guy that walked.
-
Why is Ohman facing 3 consecutive RH hitters? Howry was even warming up. My head hurts.
-
ERA is a measure of pitching ability, not pitching + fielding ability
-
Does anyone know where I can go to create a brand? I want to make one that says "Wuertz is better than Howry", and then sear it into Lou's face.

Only by your definition of close. And several other people in this thread. If serveral means one, sure... Alright, I'm done, I'm sorry you can't admit that you're the only one who thought it wasn't close. That ball ate Prada alive.
-
Not really. He was out by about 10 feet. Wasn't even close. I don't really no what to say other than that you're completely wrong. His arm was extending to the base when he got tagged in the midsection. I had to look at the replay closely to make sure he wasn't actually safe. Seriously? It wasn't even close. Again, not much else to say but you're wrong. Only by your definition of close. And several other people in this thread.
