    ..... yeah

    This doesn't make any sense at all, but too many smart people are agreeing with it, so I'm going to have to read it 8 more times. aaaaaaaaand now I get it.

    There's been some speculation about it, but I have a hard time believing the Cardinals don't pick up his option.
  4. Transmogrified Tiger
    Yeah, I think it was a greatest chases thing, that guy was the best of the 80's.

    His hot streak can be tied to an incredibly high BABIP too: BABIP By Month- April .184 May .217 June .333 July .351 August .529 (through the 6th) Somehow his overal BABIP is only .292, but when those numbers by month come back down to earth I think his production will plunge. He also hits alot more flyballs than linedrives which will catch up to him IMO when he starts playing against better fielding players. Agreed, that's part of what I was referencing when I wast talking about his hot streak being batting average driven.

    Singular in one clause and plural in the other. Fred, Fred, Fred. :twisted: He's not British. No matter how much I watch, the UK soccer announcers using the singular when referring to the team still throws me.

    He's seeing 3.39 pitches per plate appearance, so he's the least patient Cub besides Neifi Perez. Just sayin. Well, that's what I'm saying. I was expecting a very impatient hitter because of his low P/PA. However, he tends to either hit a lot of strikes early in the count-but if he gets past a couple pitches, he tends to work the count very well. For a person with a low P/PA, he seems to have a pretty good command of the strike zone, and uses that as he gets deeper in the count. So he's a very patient hitter, except in the at bats that he's not patient. FWIW, he's at 3.51 if you include today.

    Wuertz is the best reliever on the team.

    I think someone who was intellectually honest would notice that Harvey's hot streak is tied directly to his batting average, and that even though he's played well there's no indication that he's turned any corner for what ails him, which is plate discipline. If Harvey had started the year hitting .400/.440 with nearly 7 times as many K's as walks, there would've been plenty people talking about the inevitability of his numbers taking a severe dive.

    Well, Brasic has Zook, and he'll be needing to chuck the ball down the field to try to come from behind all season.

    Bill Hall is Alfonso Soriano if Alfonso Soriano never played for the Yankees.

    Why? Are you another who thinks of them as just their ed sullivan/ boyband days in 1964 singing "she loves you"? I don't like their sound at all. I don't like listening to them or hearing about them.

    Cut for Cap Space QB- Donovan McNabb RB- Julius Jones RB- Willie Parker RB- Joseph Addai WR- Terrell Owens WR- Andre Johnson WR- TJ Houshmandzadeh WR- Lavaranues Coles TE- Alge Crumpler

    Why would the Angels want him? Colon, Lackey, Weaver, Santana, Escobar
  17. Transmogrified Tiger
    Words are meaningless without action. While I think that when players get hot they walk less(because they're smashing the good pitches they get), Murton's shown through his actions to be a patient hitter. On the other hand, most of Baker's nonsense gets reinforced with his baffling decisions.

    Soto's 2 for 2 with a HR and a walk, Iowa leads 3-2 in their half of the 8th. Soto up with runners on the corners and no one out. Ryu has gone 8 IP, 5 H, 7/1, and 1 ER(2 R) on a HR And now Soto hits a sac fly.

    he looked a lot like the guy he is often compared to, barry zito. it appeared that most hitters were having a real tough time distinguishing between his fastball and curveball as it came out of his hand. they were late on a lot of high, outside fastballs that normally wouldn't be too hard to go the other way with. Yep. If you can't distinguish between his curveball and a fastball that's well out of the zone, then you're screwed against Hill. Hopefully it was a case of consistent mechanics that should be repeatable.

    Traveshemockery is a Cubbies75 staple. No thievery at all.

    Problem is that there isn't any indication Murton is going to develop that power. For comparison, he could only get a .190 IsoP against college players with an aluminum bat, then was at .150 for over 1100 Minor League PA's. I don't think these extra bases are going to pop out of nowhere, considering that he wasn't especially young(but certainly not old) for his levels.
