  1. or we just score when he's not in the game guys
  2. zips or maybe a composite...not sure. but those types of projections (rather than raw stats).
  3. Season to date stats have the Cubs at 2-1 favorites. I choose to believe that is true because the odds are better and that makes me happier. And 538 has it at 64-36 for the Cubs. yep. 538 is pretty much right in line with fangraphs season to date stats...so that's prob the reason for the discrepancy right there. based on totally different things.
  4. It should be mandated that every stadium have a dome or retractable roof in place within the next 20 years nah but a retractable is ok as long as theres real grass domes are an affront to everything good. dreary and miserable and artificially lit.
  5. i want the indians. horsefeathers dome baseball. also the indians have the lowest world series odds by a pretty wide margin.

  7. It was something comparing him dealing with Boston Curses and Chicago Curses. :banghead: Which is even better since Lester wasn't there in 04.
  8. only if "we've" been living under a rock eh it's not like it's been out there all that much. if there was a glimpse before, it wasn't much. media wasn't even allowed in the party room when they toured the clubhouse at the beginning of the season. it's been treated like a secret area.
  9. Hendricks just said that tomorrow he'll go over his opponent the way he normally does the day before his start. So sounds like he's going game 2.

  11. [tweet] [/tweet] I was not aware that this is a thing but I guess it is
  12. I could spend the next several hours watching that.
  13. this is incredible
  14. The whole point of WAR is that it's quick and dirty. It's not meant to be parsed. It's a complicated composite of a bunch of numbers nobody really needs to or wants to understand. If you want to look deeper into a player, look at other numbers.
  15. Why on earth would you voluntarily listen to David Kaplan and Jessie Rogers talk about anything? Was just doing some work around the house and put it on. It's off now. The guys on the Score (ESPECIALLY in this time slot) are much more tolerable. ESPN1000 is horrific. I started my car today and my tuner was set to 1000 from having last night's game on, and the first thing I heard was "well you know kershaw is terrible on short rest so he won't be going for game 2" so basically everything he said was completely wrong

  17. holy crap the dodgers are +175 for the nlcs
  18. I think it speaks to the idea of just how inefficient the Cubs old ways were. They were always looking for the athlete/upside guy with little organizational thought to the true baseball value of the full roster. If one guy hit they'd pat themselves on their back and then take 10 more guys that failed. same thought i had
  19. Is it just me or is this article pretty weird, considering Lindor is much better than Javy? http://www.foxsports.com/mlb/story/former-scouting-directors-faith-in-javier-baez-pays-off-for-chicago-cubs-101416
  20. ...those circumstances being where cybernetics are allowed in MLB?! Lackey's 38. Theo gave him IMO one year too many and too much $, but here we are. Definitely not. Lackey has already earned most of that contract in year one. As long as he doesn't have a disastrous year next year, he'll have surplus value pretty easily.
  21. Small sample and all that, it just makes me nervous that his two worst outings have been when Joe brought him in before the 9th. Same. I'm on the fence about it. Especially since we have some very good LOOGYs anyway.
  22. apparently dex got everybody blue jordan 12's https://www.instagram.com/p/BLhKh2LBEuH/ coghlan wears the same shoe size as me lol
  23. I can get down with this
  24. pretty sure he already told a version of this story at his introductory press conference
