  1. An amazing test case for showing the failures of OPS. He's got a .298 wOBA and Fangraphs has him below replacement level for the year (although that's half-defense). He's got a .236 OBP. He's not been offensively valuable.
  2. Oh btw Castillo hit a two-run homer like 15 minutes ago and it's down to 5-3.
  3. Why? Because it's better to suck with players that MAY be here in a few years than suck with AAAA players like Ryan Sweeney who won't be here for sure. Why is Mike Olt in that category? Because he's just short of 26 instead of 27 or whatever? It just seems like a weird obsession because the guy could technically be termed a "prospect" before the year.
  4. I'm really starting to believe the Hawks might make it 3 out of 5 this year. I know the playoffs are hard and all, but this team is just so good. I saw a stat the other day something stupid like in the last five years, the Blackhawks are .500 in games 1-3 of a playoff series and something crazy like 22-6 in games 4-7.
  5. That one's valid because a big part of a GM's job is to account for the state of the division.
  6. They totally did. It's the hockey equivalent of having a huge run differential and losing due to negative variance.
  7. I don't remember the Anaheim games, but they dominated the crap out of Colorado every time they played, just didn't show up in the scoreboard.
  8. Did Nate Silver teach you nothing? All data gets accounted for, even if it barely moves the needle.
  9. This might be the toughest matchup they face in the playoffs. If they close this series out, the road to the final is quite clear.
  10. Maybe he's just not good enough that we should care whether he gets that playing time.
  11. And then turded out in AAA and didn't have Bryant's draft pedigree. I wouldn't have shouted down anyone who said they liked Bryant more before the season, either.
  12. You are the only one I love, Kris.
  13. They're 99% sure he's dead but waiting for the MRI to confirm.
  14. Goalie chants are awesome when the goalie in question is having a bad game or is in the middle of a meltdown. Chanting it when he's doing well for no apparent reason just makes you look like an idiot as a fanbase.
  15. Iowa has a knack lately for scoring runs without any contributions from anyone I care about.
  16. WGN Radio always puts it up within a day or so. And you can download them. I still have them all from 2010. http://wgnradio.com/2014/04/26/highlights-blackhawks-best-blues-3-2-in-overtime-in-game-5/ Wait, I'm an idiot. That's Wiedeman. This is the TV broadcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIpxDE8SLYU
  17. I'm not completely sold on the White Sox, but it is funny to see them, the Yankees and the Brewers having good starts.
  18. I'm going to try to list all the people on this team that suck. Lake, Olt, Villanueva, Castillo, Baker, Schierholtz, Kalish, Ruggiano, Jackson, Wright, Veras. Did I miss any?
  19. I didn't hate him tonight. He knew who he was and didn't try to do too much.
  20. http://static.gamespot.com/uploads/original/1503/15037917/2352036-9320081384-i9pJQ.gif
  21. Time to go soak on some HFboards blues misery
