Well, that was pretty much everything I wanted to say in the Contreras piece I was planning. What's the disconnect on those numbers from his -0.1 defensive rating that's going into his WAR calculation? For catchers with at least 190 PAs (to get his 196), only Flowers, Gattis, and Montero are worse (32 total).

The Golf and Beach thread (blackhawks offseason)

Ugh! Dragging this out I obviously have no idea how these contracts work, but I figured it'd be similar to Panarin's deal. I didn't think we had room to add something this big? -

Best record in the league by 6 games. In terms of pythag expected record vs actual record, unluckiest team in the league. Incredible.
-
Bryant could have donged there, but he preferred to add a run to what was a 6-8 ballgame. Priorities.
-
The game threads the rest of the season are going to look like the ones from September 2011-2013, except the results on the field will be the exact opposite.

Super rough/simplistic, but I'm bored at work. A lot of this becomes difficult to put into practice if they don't want to trot out an outfielder with Schwarber and Soler in the corners at the same time, but here we go...(I'm only doing 600 PAs for each position to not factor in scrub time/injuries/etc, as I'm only listing like 10 guys) C: Contreras 450, Montero 150 1B: Rizzo 600 2B: Zobrist 450, Baez 150 3B: Bryant 400, Baez 200 SS: Russell 550, Baez 50 LF: Schwarber 450, Bryant 50, Soler 100 CF: Heyward 350, Almora 250 RF: Heyward 200, Bryant 150, Soler 250 Zobrist: 450 Baez: 400 Bryant: 600 Russell: 550 Schwarber: 450 Soler: 350 Heyward: 550 Almora: 250

Get zobrist another ring, and then sell high on his 'clubhouse presence'. I know that makes little sense baseball wise, but I don't want to see any of these young dongers in another uniform for the next ten years. Or, really, how long do you think it would take javy to pick up center field? A few hours?
-
4 home runs in 31 or so plate appearances would be a pretty good pace.
-
eh very few high leverage pitches. Lester has been involved in plenty of extended postseason runs, he knows his body well I agree that it was about as easy of a 117 pitch outing you could ask for, but I don't think we should be relying on Lester to pace himself. Edwards and (most likely) Patton were rested, and a couple others probably could have gotten us out of trouble. Or not, it doesn't really matter at this point outside of morale.
-
Don't like this. This is why Patton is here.
-
I'm sure it's just because I'm looking for signs of life, but he seems to have terrible luck on hard hit balls. Like in any 5 at bats he'll strike out once, hit two soft groundouts, get an infield single, and hit a rocket right at someone.

Cubs add Chapman for Torres, et al. imb wishes we paid more
squally1313 replied to David's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I suppose that would depend on how fast it's read. There's no words during that time. Reading through the lyrics doesn't seem to be anything too offensive. Think that one went (Heming)way over your head. -
Hahahahahahaha. Yay?
-
If Contreras gets on here I can see him letting Montgomery bunt and finish it off himself. As shaky as he looked that inning, I'd rather not screw up the rotation by using Lackey. I think they've been stretching Montgomery out a little bit, he should be fine for another inning.
-
I love Willson so much. Please turn into a cocky, opponent aggravating Buster Posey and stay forever.

We are up 12 games and while I get it's the cardinals I don't really have many emotions watching this. It's like glorified spring training. I don't understand getting sooo angry It's not about tonight, it's about getting Heyward fixed so he's usable in the playoffs. As things stand right now, I don't know that I'd even let him play. As good as his defense is, it doesn't overcome a .600OPS out of a corner outfield spot. He's at .627 for the year and he's on pace for 2 WAR, so it is overcoming it to a certain extent (obviously not what we expected). I'd love to get him 'fixed' too, but I don't get why telling him to not swing a bat for a week helps that. If a young guy is struggling to adjust, they send him back to the minors to get regular at bats. The rest of our regular season games have about as much importance as minor league games. Let him keep struggling through it. He's been lost for 4 months now and we're 30 over.
-
I think Chapman talked his way out of a 2nd inning, so Contreras is coming on to move Montgomery as low as possible in the order. Yeah I thought about that but we're talking about 1 spot in the order Given that it's still about 92 degrees with a ton of humidity, maybe it's just Maddon getting Ross out of the game? Like you and the announcers said, going to Montgomery is the move you make when you're up 12 games
-
We've had that same 'donut' in there all year and it's gone decent enough...
-
I don't want anything to do with their women.
-
Strop, chapman at the first sign of trouble/the ninth. Time to lay waste to the cardinals
-
Probably not because of his defense. Maybe against Bumgarner or Kershaw even then I'd say still play him e Short of schwarbs coming back, which isn't happening, the only scenario I'd really agree with it would be Lester against a lefty pitcher, where Ross would be starting, you'd want contreras in left, and then you'd want Baez in the lineup at third. Otherwise I don't really see it.
-
That's a live ball right?

Nevermind, getaway day for the ump in general
