  1. I really thought it'd be Motte this year.
  2. Average Leverage Index when entering a game (before tonight): Schlitter 1.01 (3rd on team) Ramirez 0.50 Strop 0.66
  3. Because if you use your good pitchers in good situations, you'll wear them out and later in the year you'll have to put Schlitter in late in a close game with baserunners on. And you *never* want that.
  4. But he got the ground ball and now all our good pitchers are rested, so it's actually a good thing.
  5. inb4 tt points out he got the gb so it's actually good pitching
  6. and Wada and Turner and Parker and Beeler
  7. I hope we finish 1-2 in the MLB overall record, forcing them to the wild-card game despite winning like 98 games or something, then they lose to some 86-win monstrosity.
  8. It's easy to throw love around for aggressive baserunning when we get it, but there's going to be some infuriating tootblans that cost us a game before this year is over.
  9. Guys there are only two ways to run a baseball team. The Jim Hendry way and the Andy MacPhail way.
  10. This is why I hate discussing individual moves from that era. If the player turned out good, it was good. If the player turned out bad, it was good because that helped the rebuild. If all else fails, call it hindsight.
  11. How long did you search for video of it before you accepted it didn't happen?
  12. Brewers fans are *starting* to accept that they suck.
  13. Usenet alt.sport.baseball.chicago-cubs first, then the ChicagoTribune.com Prospero boards.
  14. From my POV, it sure seems like those others retcon the talent then lower every year. It certainly wasn't consensus hopeless at the time.
  15. How sure are you that our current approach avoided that fate? very sure because the vast majority of this roster is cost controlled for a very long time So we don't have a big-money target locked up to $165m who is a post-30 pitcher with an ERA near 7 and an iffy arm in ST?
