    In a different league Martin had a 15 DRS in just 600 innings 2 years ago and has consistently been an extremely rangy OF
  2. We Got The Whole 9
    Late inning OF defense is gonna be real tight. I like it.
  3. We Got The Whole 9
    Short went 3-3 with 3 walks and pushed his OPS over 800 with MB
  4. We Got The Whole 9
    I stopped following the game but damn that pisses me off
  5. We Got The Whole 9
    Couple weeks ago we scored 13 and 9 in consecutive wins against the Reds but that was definitely an outlier for this season
  6. We Got The Whole 9
    Strike 4

    Kemp moves worse than me when my rheumatoid arthritis flares up
  8. We Got The Whole 9
    Like seeing KB yank that pitch up in the zone
  9. We Got The Whole 9
    That was horsefeathering filthy Kyle
  10. We Got The Whole 9
    The league adjusted very well to Paredes after he went on that HR binge 155/285/180 in his last 75 PA
  11. We Got The Whole 9
    Newcomb has thrown 29 more pitches than Kyle through 3 [emoji7]
  12. We Got The Whole 9
    Well horsefeathers watching this game. I guess I'm glad they kept Mitch healthy... but I wanted to see him destroy these guys.
  13. We Got The Whole 9
    I don't think I've ever heard the word mewling used in a sentence before
  14. We Got The Whole 9
    Yeah pretty interchangeable
  15. We Got The Whole 9
    That's my bad, I thought that was Dave who wrote them. I asked the question before the 2nd one came out. I figured he looked into it and then quickly wrote the article.
  16. We Got The Whole 9
    My understanding is any player on the 40 has to pass through waivers to be traded so you're looking at guys like Alzolay and such who would head the deal.
  17. We Got The Whole 9
    Stupid scared clueless Dodgers fan trying to convince the thread that the Cubs already traded all their top prospects
  18. We Got The Whole 9
    Nicasio claimed by the... Phillies

    Flashes of Mr Coach Klein watching lowlights in Waterboy "And there's an easy-out. Oh look, the SS fumbles the ball, and oh, he has time to pick it up, pump fake, pat his glove, and lob the ball to the 1B and beat him by multiple steps"

    Well, they literally haven't worn the white on white combo since the disastrous week 1 in 2009, where cutler threw 4 or 5 picks in his debut and urlacher was lost for the season. i actually miss that. and i remember the lovie bears hating the blue/blue combo because they always seemed to get their asses kicked when they wore it. i think that's their color rush combo now, which they appear to be wearing vs green bay this year. I don't pay much attention to this stuff but that is nuts. I love the white on white and the superstitious bullcrap just makes me chuckle. I'm really surprised to hear that was the last time we wore that combo.

    Oscar pitched 3.1 and gave up 2 hits with a 4:1 Very solid return.
  22. We Got The Whole 9
    That would be horsefeathering great. And he'd also up his FA stock by getting WS experience.
  23. We Got The Whole 9
    Oh I am going to drop that on Dave in his next chat I actually asked him in a chat a couple weeks ago if Cubs fans should care that KB hits like a relief pitcher in HLS and he never replied to the question. Seems like he definitely read it and took it to heart. I gotta call him out for that.

    Reading this article http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/would-chris-hayes-get-a-hit-in-a-full-season-of-play/ Led to this NEIFI Analytics just feels like the biggest oxymoron ever.

    Yeah that's not what I said though. Maybe I'm not reading the situation correctly but isn't xFIP basically saying, wait a minute, his HRs should be higher given all the flyballs he's allowed? I'm basically saying his HR/FB% is getting back into vintage Jake range (7% in 2nd half and 2% in August) so that's not some random fluke or anomaly. His HR suppression was one of his signatures during his peak. Yeah, xFIP is a pretty bad stat. And it is even worse in this era, when the ball is flying out of the park, since the ability to suppress home runs is even more important. Just because a stat is better than ERA, on the whole, doesn't mean it's actually a good stat. And we have a ton of data showing that certain pitchers are able to limit exit velocity, and that limiting exit velocity limits home runs. So for Dave Cameron to randomly throw that and only that out when he horsefeathering writes at Fangraphs is pretty dumb. How did he actually do with xwoba this month? Interesting to note that by strictly batted ball data for this season he induced his lowest amount of soft contact this month, but line drives (nebulous stat) were way down, and he did not allow hitters to pull him much. I was surprised to see his GB% hasn't increased much in the 2nd half.
