    Get off me? Weird.
  3. MWV
    Rizzo with as many BB as Ks (10).
  4. MWV
    Godspeed, Javy Baez.

    i hope you're right bush league I still can't believe he would break that fake unwritten rule. Trade him now. We don't want that crap on the team. Cubs Way our Outta the Way, amiright? Wait, "hitters shouldn't swing at the first pitch" is not a real thing. Someone is saying this is an actual thing?
  6. MWV
    Apologies if I missed something, but is Baez hurt?
  7. MWV
    Vintage Starlin single.

    Castro is a [expletive] from beyond the moon, primed to destroy this league.

    I agree completely. And given the ease with which reliable, 9-parameter newtonian trajectories can be calculated, it's increasingly stupid that we entrust balls and strikes to umpires.

    I read the article, and I see that the Cubs have more in-zone balls than any other team. I just don't follow why this is completely attributable to something as nebulous as framing. Yes, there is some (weak) correlation between this year's numbers and last year's, but the range is just a matter of +/- 2 or 3 called strikes per game. Certain pitchers get strikes others don't get (see ConstableRabbit's post). Certain hitters get balls others don't get. Certain counts get calls others don't get (can't recall the link, but it has been demonstrated that strike zones swell on 3-0 and shrink on 0-2). It sucks for the Cubs (so far), but I don't see sufficient causal evidence to pillory Castillo.

    20% of their in-strike-zone calls have been balls. That's crazy. http://blogimages.thescore.com/mlb/files/2012/05/3poumpire.jpg Robots, please.

    Righty with an extreme career platoon split: .657 OPS vs. RHB, .903 OPS vs. LHB.
  13. MWV
    Nice to see the Ks ticking down, if only in a limited sample. K rate drops from 50% to a robust 37.5%.
  14. MWV
    I'll wager it will probably take far more than 1 blown save. If not for a night game (+extra innings) followed by a day game, I suspect Veras pitches the 9th today.
  15. MWV
    It's great; you can make out the individual voices of Sox fans over the TV broadcast.
  16. MWV
    Is that the White Sox or the Marlins? Even fewer today.
  17. MWV
    I'm comforted to know that there are others who think of that line whenever paint is mentioned.
  18. MWV
    Only if the others agree not to refer to him as Schlitty. As far as I'm concerned, that meets the criteria for a [expletive] pun.
  19. MWV
    Jesus Christ, Lake. I wan't to like you, man...
  20. MWV
    Can we all agree right now that if Schlitter becomes a long-term bullpen piece we're not going to post a bunch of [expletive] puns in the game threads?
  21. MWV
    Why was Olt lifted between innings?
  22. MWV
    Chris Johnson HR (2 outs in the 7th) breaks up the no-no and the shutout. Oh well.
  23. MWV
    Wait, did we [expletive] bunt again? What the [expletive], Renty?

    Can't score? Give away outs!
