05/30 Dodgers (Wood) @ CUBS (Hammel) 4:05 CDT, WGN
soccer10k replied to Butterscup's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
No idea what Jorge was looking for or at in that AB. -
It should also be noted that Simon was the third batter Anderson had hit that day. I get if Simon wants to hit Anderson in retaliation but there's no need to go up an in. Just plunk the guy in the ass and be done with it. Of course, Simon might have been trying to him Anderson in the ass but he sucks at pitching and might have just missed his spot.

In 2013 and 2014 it was 8.9. If anything, last year was the aberration. -
Man, Hawk sound so chipper to start the bottom of the 8th. "A good Jones slider here would be perfect if he kept it low and just off the plate." Never change, Steve Stone.
-
Going to have to go back and listen to this one also. If only Drake LaRoche was in the clubhouse, none of this would have happened.
-
You don't remember Greg Garcia hitting a big homer against the Cubs last year? I remembered the name but had to look up the specific details, but that was the game Bob Costas spewed that BS about Strop asking forgiveness from a dead relative.
-
I don't think warnings were necessarily needed in that specific scenario.
-
I'm definitely going to have to listen on MLB tv later.

Cubs RD of 126 is the 6th best after 47 games since 1900. Also tied with the 1918 Cubs for 2nd best 47 game start since 1900 in franchise history. The 1907 team started 37-10.
-
Awesome game, Kyle.
-
Damn. A one-pitch out would have been perfect for Hendricks.
-
Well that's a unique celebration.
-
He's got a shot at a Maddux. Needs a 9 pitch 9th though.
-
LOL Pepe. Idiot.
-
Hendricks is rolling.
-
Pretty sure Hendricks was safe there.
-
Time to put this thing out of reach, Cubs.
-
Soler had one last year in the last game of the Atlanta series that I was stunned got out. Looked like a high fly ball off the bat but it just kept carrying.
-
DEX! There will be dongs today.
-
Nice pickoff, Kyle.
-
We should start a pool as to which pitcher the Pirates will lose to in the WC game. They're totally getting Thor this year. I'm sure the Dodgers will make a run but it's shaping up to be the loser of Mets/Nats which means Thor or Scherzer unless the division race goes down to the last day or two.
-
Didn't think of that one. Is there anything else I'm forgetting in the calculation? It's also a 0.1 difference which is pretty much nothing so it's not like Bettis has been worth a full win more.
-
Their BABIP would be the highest ever over a full season since 1900. The 1930 Cardinals have the record at .332. The Red Sox are at .346 right now also.
-
Cubs also have 5 of the top 21 pitchers in fWAR. Related note, I was comparing fWAR to bWAR and saw Hendricks was 71st in bWAR. Can someone explain to me why Chad Bettis (4.90 ERA, 1.30 WHIP) has a higher bWAR than Hendricks (3.30 ERA, 1.06 WHIP). I know Hendricks has thrown 25% fewer innings (46 1/3 vs. 60 2/3) but that can't be all of it. I thought bWAR was based more off runs allowed rather than the peripherals and just thought it was odd.
