    Anyone who wants Ha can have him. I really hope we don't try to carry some stiff again next year just to say we got someone in the Rule 5.

    > Torreyes Torreyes is striking out a bunch for Houston. I blame their loser culture.

    Someone over at BN mentioned that Armando Rivero has 4 IP, 1 BB, 10 K, 0 R in his last two outings.

    I think the power difference there is pretty important. Guzman had a .352 BABIP and a pretty fluky XBH:1b ratio, just by eyeballing his stats. He had 23 HRs in 557 PAs. Baez has 25 in 425. Power will take you a looong way in 2010s baseball.

    I have a habit of always checking out the little bulletin boards at the grocery store entrance. I saw one the other day that listed for sale about a dozen restaurant-level kitchen appliances. The first was a nacho cheese machine for $1,000. I wondered if Da Bum had followed me across country again and had fallen on hard times.

    If Baez does this for like 2 more weeks I'm going to turn into one of those droolmonkeys who think he should be given a shot at a starting job in 2014.
  7. Hairyducked Idiot
    The Cubs are closer to a playoff spot than the Cardinals were on Aug 27, 2011.
  8. Hairyducked Idiot
    Prediction: Baez will be top 5 in at least two legitimate lists this offseason.

    I'm just writing off the K-rate as the normal "20-year-old in first taste of AA gets dominated before adjusting" period. The fact that he's Ruthian during this period makes it scary awesome to imagine what he might be able to do when he settles in more. I'm starting to believe he can contribute at some point in 2014.

    Also, with three straight one-run wins, our Pyth wins and actual wins have just about converged (Happy, B2B?)
  11. Hairyducked Idiot
    Depending on the tiebreakers, the Cubs might be outside of the top-10 in the draft if the season were to end in the current standings.

    So far Gregg has gotten a hard lineout on a two-strike meatball, then gotten an incredibly generous third-strike call. I'm having visions of 1998 Rod Beck.

    Petition to add "Unban Kyle from Other Sports"

    If Castro had done that, it'd be a front-page story tomorrow.
  15. Hairyducked Idiot
    No. 6 prospect in the system, and Alcantara is looking nervously over his shoulder.
  16. Hairyducked Idiot
    This is simply incorrect. No matter what "actually counts," studying peripherals such as pythagorean wins is more predictive of the future. Projecting based off of that will be more accurate than projecting off of actual wins.
  17. Hairyducked Idiot
    Yes, but one of them is the wrong way. If you can get Taillon from the Pirates, you can get someone almost as good from somewhere else and be better off.
  18. Hairyducked Idiot
    Maybe they'll spend all the playoff revenue you helped them get to be able to afford his extension. Not to mention it probably wouldn't hurt for us to care a little about the 2014 and 2015 NL Central.
  19. Hairyducked Idiot
    I really won't complain if he's given the inside track on a fifth starter job next year. I know we've had a lot of success with the whole $5m-$9m mid-tier FA starting pitchers, but I'd rather us give at least one rotation spot to a competition involving guys like Hendricks and Cabrera next year.
  20. Hairyducked Idiot
    We're one spot away from playing ourselves out of a protected draft pick.
  21. Hairyducked Idiot
    WTH would we trade a cost-controlled awesome pitcher to the Pirates? Do we just feel sorry for them and really want them to win the division in 2014 and 2015 as well?
  22. Hairyducked Idiot
    If the Cubs can hold on and win this, they'll be on pace for 75 wins.
  23. Hairyducked Idiot
    It's totally just a pet peeve of mind. Sets me off every time.
  24. Hairyducked Idiot
    Maddux got by on command and sink for a long time. Not saying Hendricks is Maddux, but it can be done. Can we have one @#%#@$# discussion about a player's obvious flaws without referring to the one HOF player in a century who got by despite that flaw? Every soft-tosser, Maddux. Every small pitcher, Pedro. Besides the fact that Maddux worked in the low 90s and could touch 94 in his prime. /petpeeverant

    8 games under has been like some kind of magic barrier for the last month. I want to win the next two and finally break it.
