    When he's aggressive in the zone he's so good!

    My takeaway so far is that if one of your names starts with a "K" the Cubs are going to draft you.

    What are you sighing about? You're exact quote is "he would be part of my all in scenario." You're the one bringing him into the equation. *sighs o so dramatically." Stop contradicting yourself.

    The question is if the Cubs are all in. There is no scenario in existence that results in Paul Skenes getting traded. So it has no effect on whether the Cubs are all in or not because there is nothing the Cubs can do that would result in that trade.

    I don't think I'm disagreeing with anything you've said. I've always had a bit of an issue with BABIP or, probably more accurately, the way it is used. The .290 is indisputable; it's just math. But it's the average across the league. It seems anytime any hitter differs from that number they are classified as lucky or unlucky. But every players resting(?) BABIP is different. Sure .290 is the average but for some players its much higher; others much lower - for the reasons you listed. Happ's career BABIP is .308 - which I think makes sense - he hits a few HRs, SOs a lot and walks a lot. To have lasted as long as he has you'd expect him to come in above the .290. I don't think he's been lucky his entire career. Contrast him to Joey Gallo (an almost pure 3 outcome guy) who was out of the league by 30 with a .254 BABIP who I don't think was unlucky. Then take a player like Rey Ordonez who put the ball in play at very high rate. Didn't SO, didn't hit HRs and didn't really walk. His career BABIP was well below .290 at .271. Some people are just crappy hitters. I guess my point is that .290 isn't just some magic number that players all gravitate towards. I mean if Tony Gwynn had a .310 BABIP for a month he'd have been in a slump.

    There is (or was) a YouTube video somewhere of him eating a live lizard in a bullpen somewhere - when he was in the minors I believe.

    Mikolas is such a tool hope they continue pile on his lizard eating ass.

    Javi! Javi! Javi!

    Nice Barret name drop.
  10. chopsx9
    That might be the quickest overturn of a call I've seen.
  11. chopsx9
    Don't think the Tigers would pay a chunk of it?
  12. chopsx9
    The Tigers might jump at the opportunity to get out from under his contract thinking this might be their only chance. It sounds like they have younger players for the positions he plays.
  13. chopsx9
    For shits and giggles!! Is it time to discuss the potential availability of one Javier Baez?
  14. chopsx9
    Because they already had a 3B but he hit so well they had find a spot for him.
  15. chopsx9
    For a player that is 22 and has 32 professional games going into the year that seems like a pretty big win. Wasn't he moved off of 3B just because they already had a 3B?

    In fairness isn't that why that stuff is segregated in that forum? I know I avoid most of the other forums - I don't live in the US and did not grow up in North America so I find some of the other topics tiresome...so I stay out of those forums for the most part. That said I think this article is baseball related enough - maybe a couple of the sentences are a little baiting but of no real issue to me. Mandate that all future stadiums built need to be covered; solves a few problems.

    Cam Smith heating up a bit.

    Cohen is brutal. He and Zach Zabian need to go and look for the Ark of the Covenant at the bottom of the Marianas Trench

    How many of Seiya's dongs are to the RF side of CF this year?
  20. chopsx9
    Friar!! Yes?...No??
  21. chopsx9
    I guess the no doubles defense is a thing of the past. It;s a funny game, with 2 outs I'm thinking "Wow, maybe they've found the closer for the next 3 or 4 years" SO maybe it's my fault. ....and he could still turn out, obviously.
  22. chopsx9
    I'll just leave this here I've never bought a jersey that wasn't a Cubs jersey. I may have to get a Baez Tigers jersey.

    Harmonic, it was not.
