    I caught that comment and I'm going to leave it hanging out there. Not pulling it into the comment zone. ;-`

    Trading Webb right away might be a fine idea.
  3. Arlen
    Get rid of this silly process and give us straight machine B/S calls. We don't need umps calling and we don't need "pitch framing."
  4. Arlen
    I think soon, the Cubs will have to send Webb somewhere.
  5. Arlen
    Yes. And furthermore... because Hoerner is a base stealer, I tend to agree that #3 makes great sense. If he hits into a force and gets to first with two outs, he can try for second.

    Interesting thank you. I still like the classic style, but perhaps with the pitcher batting 8.
  7. Arlen
    Good. Don't break your arm too, Javier.

    The arts and sciences of pitching have outdone their bodies. It's as simple as that. And it's time to bring out the Mike Marshall instruction set, for researching what to do about it.

    Well said. We are happy to have the man and maybe he's patient in his role with the shot always before him to play in the bigs in October and November.

    Cade Horton throws like a catcher. I wonder what Mike Marshall would say. They may need to convert him into a relief pitcher.
  11. Arlen
    So long, Ian. It's been nice.

    Chuck Norris has gone to Heaven, so... Matt Shaw for all eight positions! And pitcher! Back him up with Marco Rubio.

    Thank you. And Bethancourt is for the Bigs. What an arm. And he likes Wrigley and the blue pinstripes. How did the Cubs ever let him go?
  14. Arlen
    My guess: bruised knee cap and maybe momentarily separated (sprained). I suspect he starts the season as a DH and hits right field in May at the worst... unless he falls down the stairs, or gets hit by a terrorist sleeper cell, or something.

    Another very interesting article. When I was a boy, I was more interested in hitting and listened to Ted Williams' instructions on it. I liked to play centerfield. After getting past the point of playing, one gets more and more interested in pitching since that can be the most dominating phase of the game (and should be for success). But with a bit of pain, you just reminded me of the 1984 NLCS, seeing only Sutcliffe among the Cubs' starters willing to establish then simply win with the high/inside fastball, it seemed, while the others went low/away, low/away, low/away, with whatever "stuff" and got hammered.
