    How is it that LaHair and Stewart are posting the same LD%? BAbip is a bitch-goddess.
  2. MWV
    Looks like more sac bunts from the 2 hole today. Hopefully those are once again mitigated by game winning runs from the 2 hole.

    since everybody likes to compare him to Hoffpauir, i feel compelled to mention in his first 119 121 PA, he hit .336/.388/.536, 30 K, .429 babip LaHair's sitting at 34 K, .435 babip currently do with that info what you'd like Since I want to be optimistic, I'll point out that the respective walk rates of LaHair and Hoffpauir were 16% and 7.4% over the samples of PA referred to.

    I don't consider Soto to be a centerpiece of the franchise that must be extended into his mid thirties, but now is just an awful time to deal him. Why not see if he can regress to near his career average performance by mid-june, and then start working the phones?
  5. MWV
    Maybe this queston has already been addressed, but to those who wish to get rid of him, what is to be done? Soto is making $4.3 million in 2012. Would you advocate trading him now, likely eating his much of his salary for a meager return or cutting him loose and eating all of his salary for no return? Like it or not, this is not a good Cubs team and plugging in Welington Castillo for Geovany Soto is not likely to change that (certainly not so much that it makes either of the above choices attractive). Why not just wait for his BAbip to regress toward his career average (.299, vs. his present .156), at which point you have a useful starting catcher with a year of arbitration eligibility remaining who might net you something of value?

    All this literally minutes after LaHair drives in the (then) tying run. Weird.
  7. MWV
    Rusin with only 1 hit and 3 K through 4 IP.

    Nice to see an Ian Stewart liner finally find the turf.

    Although the accuracy of this thread title persists (and always will, I guess), I wouldn't mind seeing it changed to reflect this latest news.
  10. MWV
    So much for those 2 runs...
  11. MWV
    Nice AB for DeJesus.
  12. MWV
    Nice DP turn by Starlin.
  13. MWV
    ...and a 7 pitch second inning. Like a true Dusty-managed team.
  14. MWV
    volstad's got cozart's number. So there's that.
  15. MWV
    Nice 41 pitch first inning for Volstad. Does he go deeper than Shark (3.2 IP)?
  16. MWV
    Not that it's a big deal, but I like seeing LaHair move up, and I like seeing the lefties split up in the middle of the order. Lets win this one.
  17. MWV
    Sadly it was only 3.2 IP this time.
  18. MWV
    I have a feeling that this thread is going to provide an entertaining diversion throughout the season...
  19. MWV
    Christ, how about we just shift Castro over between LaHair and Barney. Have all their hits been grounders through the right side?
  20. MWV

    Apparently the White Sox home opener had to be delayed 2/3 of the way through the top of the first inning because the batter's boxes were improperly chalked.
  22. MWV
    Is this a koan?
  23. MWV
    Here's hoping the baserunning gets better from here on out.
  24. MWV
    Selig, I guess. It's particularly stupid when you consider that first game of the season was 8 days ago and 15 more teams won't open until tomorrow. Opening "Week".
  25. MWV
    I had heard (I forget where) that DeWitt was a possibility, since Strasburg is a right-hander.
