    I think I have heard broadcasters say the k zone is based off of statcast
  2. David
    Rodriguez/Sosa/Hill?
  3. David
    i think it might look awesome. i reserve the right to see it in games.

    I just remember him getting blown up in the Wild Card game and thinking 'are we sure we want this dude?' Whoops i wanna say they traded for him in part out of some sense of desperation because samardzija and/or hammel pitched like trash for them in their first couple of weeks

    I don’t remember Wims impressing at all: he looked the weakest if the bunch. Either we’re that deep and perspective belies reality or he ....... didn’t impress I remember the opposite.
  6. David
    Yes. Still limited. Think it was a hamstring.

    Really feeling like he's gonna bust. Unpolished product who can't stick on the field isn't a good combo. Nagy said after practice that Shaheen did what they were expecting him to do yesterday (in other words, his limited participation wasn't a re-injury or aggravation of his soreness or whatever). Also, Ridley appears to be on the way back (or all the way back?)

    What in the world. i was giving him the benefit of the doubt and thinking he meant to say maldonado

    "significant"

    i know pineiro, in particular, was supposed to have a very strong leg sidenote: patrick scales hasn't been around to long snap the last couple days. :-k

    is this really a thing you're going to do? why do you want to do this?

    You can make a good case for Chris Archer back in 2011. After that, it's luminaries like Mark Pawelek, Angel Guzman, and Donnie Veal. Ah, yeah. Totally forgot about Archer.

    Completely agree. Hasn't Maddon even done the cutesy "have the lefty go play a position for a hitter in between lefties" thing the Rays did the other day? I'm thinking Travis Wood? This is something that was pretty iconic to the “Maddon is crazy/eccentric” mythos. Something that should have been recalled without question marks. This what Solid state drive degradation looks like. Time for a backup, buddy. meh. to me that whole thing is more about wacky costume trips and animals in the clubhouse and crap like that. he rarely does anything all that eccentric in terms of managing games. he also did that 867-5309 lineup thing, i guess.

    i always forget about the crazy horsefeathers that happened in this game because i was in vegas and i started watching it while getting ready to go out. stopped paying attention when it got out of hand and then was shocked when i came back to the room at 4 am and turned on sportscenter.

    I feel like if anything, he would use a non-LOOGY as a LOOGY, rather than use a LOOGY in a role that LOOGY can't handle. He settles into the obvious, this lefty should be able to get out a lefty because he's a lefty mindset, and in this case, it could work. Completely agree. Hasn't Maddon even done the cutesy "have the lefty go play a position for a hitter in between lefties" thing the Rays did the other day? I'm thinking Travis Wood?
  18. David
    Been very good against lefties. Just can't ever let him face a righty. Ever.
  19. David
    He said best since Prior. That's not really comparing him to Prior. It's not really that high of praise, either, unless I'm forgetting someone really obvious. Best Cubs pitching "prospect" I can think of from 2002-now is like...Rich Hill? Cashner? Samardzija? Hendricks obviously turned out really well but wasn't a highly regarded prospect.

    1) This might be the most meaningless split I've ever seen 2) If you really want to use it...you're making the case that Russell's individual success is negatively correlated with the team success. So... :good: ? No... It's a dumb argument either way, but I'm pretty sure what he's saying is that even though people want to keep pointing to the Cubs bad W-L record when Russell plays, Russell has hit just fine in those losses, so how is he really to blame for those? It's all nonsense either way and mostly coincidence. Either way, I'm glad this dip horsefeathers is off the team.
  21. David
    How do you guys remember these old weirdos? how the hell do you forget sontensei?
  22. David
    yeah, i think, on top of being an horsefeathers, russell is really really dumb. like, among baseball players.
  23. David
    This isn't a thing.
  24. David
    Wasn't Candelario under this FO? By the time this FO took over, he played his first games in Boise.
  25. David
    is "moderate" being said tongue in cheek here?
