.305 .371 .452 .823 You won't take that as a lefty-masher line from half of a CF platoon?
-
Johnson still almost perfect at getting runners home from third with less than two outs.
-
I was really surprised to note he had a .400 OBP on the season. He's so easy to not notice despite being a very good player.
-
Lol, the Pirates cannot go a game without screwing something up defensively against us.
-
20 pitches, still only one out in the inning. We're in good shape here, despite the bottom of the order coming up.
-
Which is why we have the best run differential in baseball, and they aren't keeping up despite a lucky-hot start.
-
I'll go with something similar, a little lower OBP and a little higher slugging. .285/385/440.
-
Fukuwalk, nice patience to lead off the inning. 58 pitches coming into the inning. As usual, the Cubs are piling it on pitch-count wise.
-
Great, isn't it? This is what it looks like when you are legitimately one of the best teams in baseball, not just a decent team hoping 88 wins is enough to sneak into the playoffs.
-
Soriano needs to get picked off here to spare Lee the embarassment of the GIDP. Be a team player!
-
Only a single. Pathetic.
-
I don't think Hart is better than Marquis. Hart is pretty bad.
-
This thread is about to turn ugly.
-
Marquis isn't good, but it certainly can get worse.
-
Hill isn't coming back up, who is going to replace him? Are they ready to give Marshall the shot he deserves?
-
I put him between Marquis and Lieber, but pretty close on both regards.
-
There's a whole lot of people in this thread who are very quick to jump to name-calling and assuming they know other people's intentions.
-
That's not what this thread started as, and I didn't get the memo that it had been changed. My bad.
-
That's not what I saw. What I saw was a guy get jumped all over because he tried to have a normal baseball discussion and didn't know that he was talking to the father. And despite several attempts at apologies, people are still bashing him for it.
-
Am I the only one who sees EPat as little more than a AAAA type player? His best case scenario is about on par with Murton's 2007. I'm not even sure I'd call him a AAAA player. He had adequate numbers in AAA, but nothing that says "OMG, we must promote him!"
-
We're trying to. But we keep getting shouted down by the "Four runs in 4.1 innings is a good start!" crowd. That's good for his future with the Cubs, irrelevant to his present with the Cubs. Couldn't care less about this part though. Lots of players work hard, I care about whether they are good or not. Is this the buddy-up with the kids' family thread, or the discuss him as a pitcher for the Chicago Cubs thread? If it's the first one, can I be directed to the second?
-
Being Gallagher's father doesn't magically protect him from discussion, especially when he starts the dismissive namecalling. It's great that Gallagher's father gives us some inside insight here and there, but are we doomed to never have a serious thread about the kid again?
-
I think people are overreacting to his 2 starts. They haven't been as good as some of the things I've read on here. Not to say he's been bad, but I think a more tempered reaction would be in order. Maybe he makes a few more starts, his arm gets accustomed to the workload and he stays consistent. I'd be ecstatic and the first to admit my skepticism was incorrect. Anyone who pays attention around here knows I'm not overly stubborn. There is also a chance he gets knocked around and some of the line drives he's given up fall in. I think wariness is prudent. Irrational Exuberance might be a good catchphrase here.
-
This. Congratulations to Sean and his father. Gallagher has made it to the very top end of a very steep bell curve that is professional baseball players. It only gets harder from here. Gallagher's peripherals and performance projections put him as a marginal major-leaguer at this point in his career. To be a marginal major-leaguer at his age is a great accomplishment and bodes well for his future, to be sure, but I'm still going to call a spade a spade. He had one bad start and one good start. There were extenuating circumstances around the bad start and his good start was heavily influenced by hard-hit balls right at fielders. Nothing happened that would change my projection of him to be in Lieber/Marquis territory for this season (maybe a bit better than Marquis, a bit worse than Lieber, but pretty close to both).

If you are going to lose, I like one-run losses with underperformances from pitches you can normally rely on to drop your homestand to 7-2.
