  2. Current paces (fWAR) based on if THEY PLAYED a 160 game season (which not all of these guys can actually reach this year) Rizzo - 8.25 Russell - 4 Bryant - 6.4 Fowler (piss break) - 4.5 Montero - 5.3 Not as fun Soler - 1.5 Castro - 0

  9. Time to get our spam on Jesse Rogers ‏@ESPNChiCubs 6m6 minutes ago All-star balloting around the diamond: Rizzo, La Stella, Castro, Bryant and Montero on the ballot. Coghlan, Fowler, Soler as well Jesse Rogers ‏@ESPNChiCubs 6m6 minutes ago Voting starts today. For the first time, it's only online. You can vote up to 35 times at http://mlb.com or http://Cubs.com lmao at LaStella somehow being on the ballot but Bryant still making it also
  10. 4th best baserunning team so far in the league this season http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=0&type=8&season=2015&month=0&season1=2015&ind=0&team=0,ts&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0&sort=17,d (I believe that doesn't take into account tonight) also 24 of 29 (and starlin was safe) on steals

  12. Nick Cafardo ‏@nickcafardo 5h5 hours ago Agent Scott Boras said calls on free-agent reliever Rafael Soriano are increasing..
  13. #wearegood Let's keep doing this baseball thing it's fun just send schlitter to another state somewhere and maybe give jaxon a chance to be jackson http://i.imgur.com/jgSEPVu.png vs. http://i.imgur.com/TSXyMyf.png at http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2b/Pedro_goes_to_Pittsburgh.jpg stack them wins
  14. Just curious where the long time posters here came over from. I was actually on both ESPN and Cubs.com a lot so I recognized a lot of you even though I barely posted. Followed all the Mike Lowell rumors and Luis Castillo and Pudge stuff etc on both boards. I think my first actual post here was about the Lee trade, but I'm not sure. And I think I was mad about it.
  15. Still haven't lost two in a row...Let's start stacking wins! #wearegood http://i.imgur.com/HYDoFo0.png vs. http://i.imgur.com/IN2ZDhn.png at http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2b/Pedro_goes_to_Pittsburgh.jpg Jake Arrieta day started inauspiciously but ended well. Let's see if Wood can repeat his magic from last week. IT'S ADDISON RUSSELL DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  16. So I'll give him one for this post. Tommy Birch ✔ @TommyBirch Follow Pevey on Addison Russell: "He'll play second until I'm told for him not to play second." #Cubs #PCL #MiLB Commence the watch.
  17. I'm coming in for the spot start. Happy Jake Arrieta day. http://i.imgur.com/louIIUB.png vs. http://i.imgur.com/xjMJGRz.png @ http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2b/Pedro_goes_to_Pittsburgh.jpg

  20. OK, MAYBE this warranted using a megathread, but whatever. Jason MotteVerified account ‏@JMotte30 "I am a pork chop entrepreneur" @JLester34 Jason Hammel ‏@HammelTime39 18h18 hours ago @JMotte30 I think he meant connoisseur...Classic Lester Jake Arrieta ‏@JArrieta34 18h18 hours ago "I'm high school educated, I'm sorry" @JLester34 … Jon Lester ‏@JLester34 3h3 hours ago @JArrieta34 @JMotte30 Y'all quit picking on me, I'm sensitive.

  21. Looks to be up and running http://wrigleyville.locals.baseballprospectus.com/ Hello BP Readers, It’s a new season not just for baseball, but for us here at Baseball Prospectus. Today we are extremely excited to announce the launch of three local Baseball Prospectus sites: BP Boston, BP Bronx, and BP Wrigleyville. Sports are innately local, and the idea behind these new Baseball Prospectus pages is to take all the writing, research, thought, and analysis that make BP great, and present it through a local lens. While the national page will continue to provide the innovative content you’ve come to expect, we now also have an amazing group of writers covering these teams. We are just getting started, but we believe these BP sites will become the best source of local baseball commentary, discussion, and analysis in each market. These are the first of many new enhancements to the BP experience. I hope you come along for the ride. We are incredibly excited to have you. Thanks, Jim Walsh
  22. @BenBadler Wow. Must-read story/video on tech Cubs use to turn catchers into better framers: http://bit.ly/1I7T6jU Lots more at the link.
  23. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-04-01/the-chicago-cubs-finally-have-a-winning-business-plan Much more at the link. It's definitely a Ricketts fluff piece but still an interesting read.
  24. (rather than have yet another thread labeled finish this sentence) Arrieta was better than Lester.
  25. Some pretty cool stuff here. Worth checking out. http://www.hardballtimes.com/the-2015-season-preview-in-data-visualization/
