  1. HFA vs the dodgers, sure. HFA vs the Nats in the NLDS is within the realm of outside shot. Doesn't mean enough to NOT do a 6-man if that's the way Joe/FO want to go. If they acquire, say, Verlander, why not go to a 6-man if the guys are comfortable with it? Especially with Monty there to piggyback if someone has a garbage 2-4 inning start. Obviously the comfort level of the rest for the SPs is the main issue. i wasn't speaking to whether it does or doesn't. i'm fine with going 6 man whether we're playing for something or not, as long as we're not giving starts to someone terrible.
  2. McPhee had his knee scoped. As I'm sure you're all surprised, Fox gave no detail as to his expected recovery time.
  3. I think we can go ahead and write off HFA HFA vs the dodgers, sure. HFA vs the Nats in the NLDS is within the realm of outside shot.
  4. this is going to be like that 2008 series in milwaukee except with a much crappier version of the brewers
  5. rosemont's consolation prize
  6. finally we can replace that stupid 2016 nl pennant flag
  7. chance to put a dent into that next weekend
  8. i realize what you were doing there but the fact that those are two absolute extreme defensive wizards it makes it kinda have the opposite effect for me Has Russell really been a wizard in the field this season? http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=ss&stats=fld&lg=all&qual=y&type=1&season=2017&month=0&season1=2017&ind=0&team=0&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0&sort=10,d 2nd in baseball in DRS in far fewer innings than simmons (the leader) UZR isn't as high on him this year. only 6th in UZR/150

  17. CHANGE THE THREAD TITLE RIGHT NOW YOU IMBECILE
  18. what the horsefeathers is up with all the warning track flies the past two nights i guess that's what happens when a good lineup faces terrible pitchers in a small park
  19. I think people forget just how good a defensive 3B he was. He had some excellent seasons offensively, but he always was a very good defensive player before we had good metrics for measuring defense. I'm still angry the Phillies traded him to the Cardinals... Yeah, Rolen was the standard for 3B defense before Beltre. The Cardinals getting both him and Edmonds at that time was insane. Meanwhile the Cubs were passing on Beltran to subsequently acquire Pierre, Jones, Bradley, Fukudome and whoever else to do the same job. the lack of a serious pursuit of beltran after 2004 was one of my biggest cubs offseason disappointments ever
  20. I think people forget just how good a defensive 3B he was. He had some excellent seasons offensively, but he always was a very good defensive player before we had good metrics for measuring defense. I'm still angry the Phillies traded him to the Cardinals... yeah, i remember us being in those trade rumors with rolen when he was with the phillies too
  21. starting a would-be rally with 2 outs is one of my bigger baseball pet peeves except when they work obviously
  22. Didn't Soriano actually turn himself into a pretty decent fielder after Sveum and co came in and actually, you know, started coaching him to play the position? nah not really. had a positive fielding year one year but prob just the random variance of defensive metrics was better in 07 and 08
