    Why are so many players with sub .290 OBPs on pace for really solid fWARs?
  2. Hairyducked Idiot
    I wish. Why? We're both douchey annoying baseball fans who spend too much time on the internet. He's doing it better.
  3. Hairyducked Idiot
    We'll need to find a 3b that doesn't suck unless Bryant can handle it.
  4. Hairyducked Idiot
    I want Bryant/Rizzo/Baez batting 2-3-4 next year. I renounce all Theo hate if that leads us to the playoffs in 2015. I'll settle for the stupid half-spot and losing the WC game.
  5. Hairyducked Idiot
    I wish.

    I'm kinda rooting for Samardzija to be the first SP to make the All-Star team winless.

    On the current the 25-man roster: Arrieta, Olt, Lake, Russell, Veras, Baker, Kalish, Coghlan. Less sold on than most people: Grimm, Rondon, Ramirez, Wood (that's a weird reversal), Castillo I'm calling it: This is amended and not considered a Game Thread post. Wood though? Only one I'm surprised you listed. Wood xFIP as a Cub: 4.62, 4.50, 4.07 Sure, he gets some credit for being a fly-ball pitcher who is relatively good at preventing home runs, but he's still pretty average-ish, maybe a bit above average. I thought he was underrated when he lost his job to Chris freaking Volstad, but now that he put up a 3.11 ERA that one time he's become overrated. He's still the same guy.

    Also, Junior Lake is 2-for-3 tonight, because BABIP still doesn't apply to him.
  11. Hairyducked Idiot
    Four shutout innings since I posted this. You are all welcome.

    It's really hard to screw up a team so royally that you don't occasionally flirt with adequacy, despite Epstein's best efforts.
  13. Hairyducked Idiot
    This team is gonna get back to within 7 games of .500 at some point.
  14. Hairyducked Idiot
    He's like 40 years old already.
  15. Hairyducked Idiot
    Arrieta sucks and I'll be glad when we move him to the pen where he might be kinda good.
  16. Hairyducked Idiot
    We should be worried now because his numbers aren't below the worry threshold.
  17. Hairyducked Idiot
    It is fundamental in the NSBB Constitution that nothing said in the Game Thread counts.
  18. Hairyducked Idiot
    The intensity of the Baez hot streak is proportional to the length and depth of the preceding slump. http://streetsmarks.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/docbrown.jpg We're about to see some serious [expletive].

    You're gonna have to find it. I have no problem admitting when I'm wrong, which is often, but I really don't remember saying anything of the sort. Maybe I did, but I genuinely don't remember it. Nothing Lake does well that I can think of stablizes around 400 PAs. All he does well is get an absurd BABIP (which can easily take over 1,000 PAs to stabilize) and show surprising power for a guy who swings and misses an absurd amount of the time.
  20. Hairyducked Idiot
    Good. Because I wasn't wrong. It doesn't mean that. He's not going to sustain a .387 BABIP. And when it stops, so does his value, because he's a sub-.300 OBP guy as it is.
  21. Hairyducked Idiot
    no it isn't I'm fairly certain you said recently things start to sustain around that number and that if he had kept it up, he'd be an interesting case. I am 100% positive that I didn't say "things" start to sustain around that number. That's way too vague. Different things sustain at different rates.
  22. Hairyducked Idiot
    Contact rate is Balls in play + HRs + fouls / Swings
  23. Hairyducked Idiot
    Everything OK? You're a little lash-out-y today.
  24. Hairyducked Idiot
    Alcantara is Javy if Javy broke his wrist and tore out his knee simultaneously, and thus came back with way less power, less defensive potential and a year older. But switch-hitting.
  25. Hairyducked Idiot
    *shrug* Lake's fluky 2.5 wins aren't exactly changing our world.
