    There's no-hit catchers, then there's Jacob Muyco. Bako had a minor league OPS nearly 200 points higher, Blanco more than 150 points.
  2. Transmogrified Tiger
    More than we are Long term-wise, Konerko and Vazquez aren't looking like very good deals.

    Muyco isn't going to make the major leagues. He's 22, in A+, and has a career OPS below .550 (.510 this year). Just position players... Iowa Pie Patterson Soto Fontenot (bench) Moore (bench) Tennessee Fox Daytona Colvin Reed Peoria .....

    Have the Cubs been linked to Moustakas at all?
  6. Transmogrified Tiger
    Soriano has the 2nd best OBP of his career right now, it's the 2nd worst SLG and IsoP of his career that are disappointing from him.

    Nope. Last year Mizzou went out to the Pepperdine regional filled with California schools. For those that know though, how does the Super-Regional hosting work? Is it at the seeded team's location no matter what? Or the highest seeded left's location? Or the team that beat the highest seed's location?

    This is a terrible argument. Why does the "earn the job" mantra only apply to Murton? He and Floyd have similar production this year, and Murton is younger, faster, healthier, cheaper, has more of a long term future, is a better defender, outproduced Floyd by a significant margin last year, and is probably better at video games too. All this is, is the all to familiar "default to the veteran", it's nonsense.

    Unless I'm mistaken, "ball" is a pretty common substitute for "mine" or "I got it".

    amazing hustle from Blanco
  11. Transmogrified Tiger
    In slow mo DeRosa looks like an idiot for reaching beyond the base to try to tag him
  12. Transmogrified Tiger
    In real time Boone looked out
  13. Transmogrified Tiger
    For the love of all that is good and holy, half of you clowns played with Mitre. HE THROWS A SINKER, a pitch notorious for sinking.
  14. Transmogrified Tiger
    The wind is blowing out a billion miles an hour, stop bunting
  15. Transmogrified Tiger
    That Scott Eyre has upper management written all over him.
  16. Transmogrified Tiger
    That did not look like a home run off the bat. Definitely not one that almost made it to Waveland.
  17. Transmogrified Tiger
    I'm betting that Barrett and Lou got into a fistfight.
  18. Transmogrified Tiger
    Shocking as it sounds, Molina was 4th on the Cards in OBP, and 5th in OPS.
  19. Transmogrified Tiger
    woo Cavs plz win a game at the Palace and plz let LeBron shoot FTs at the palace refs

    Just because you cant account for it with math or see it, does not mean that it does not exist. Semantics. There's no measurable effect. So even if it does exist, it doesn't matter.
  21. Transmogrified Tiger
    Even if this mindset is widespread, there's no evidence of it having any type of worthwhile effect.

    I think much of it is that. You look at the pitches he is driving for his extra base hits this year and they are typically down and away that he is driving to right. Teams are really keeping things away from him high and plate to in where he typically hits the snot out of the baseball to left. I will grant you that some of the pitches he has hit to right this year may have gone out in years past. His wrist strength isnt probably all the way back yet, but hopefully it will show up in the not too distant future. Jeff Bagwell. You could go after him or Bagwell. Bagwell was the easier choice, especially after his shoulder injury. I can't check right now, but is Lee walking any more than he has in previous years? And you just contradicted yourself with Berkman/Bagwell. Berkman had less protection before and was pounding the ball. Now he's getting fewer pitches to hit because Lee's there? Doesn't make sense. Lineup protection is pretty much a myth. People talk about it all the time, but for all the talk there is no tangible connection between it and performance.

    Its kind of the same thing that is going on with DLee and ARam, although many on this board dont believe that it exists. Teams have a choice to pitch to either Berkman or CLee when playing Houston. Most opt to go after CLee and pitch around Berkman, which is why is OBP is so out of whack with his batting average. Because his BA is so low as opposed to DLee (although DLee is definitely a better hitter) shows a little lack of patience in going after bad balls, especially since your Career OBP numbers are typically higher. And if you arent getting good pitches to hit, you cant really tag them for extra base hits. However with Pence coming on strong for Houston and beginning to protect CLee in the 5 hole...pretty soon most teams arent going to have the option to choose to go after Berkman or CLee with less than 2 outs. An option that the Cubs do not have at the moment, and the Astros didnt have until Pence showed up from nowhere. Lane has been 100% awful this season (171/182), while Barrett has only been horrendously bad (244/294). So you think the reason Lee hasn't hit for as much power is that teams are pitching around him? And as it relates to Berkman, why didn't this happen before when there was nobody around him(compared to Lee now)?

    Felix really wants to come back to Chicago. .406/.467/.604/1.070
  25. Transmogrified Tiger
    If he's such a bright guy why did he leave Hendry as GM this past offseason? Because he was just an interim appointee?
