  1. It was .297 coming into today. League average according to B-R (not sure if that's NL or MLB) is .265 so far. And our pitching was at .236 going into tonight. My persecution complex is not holding up to the cold light of reality.
  2. I want to check after the game to see what the Cubs' BABIP for the whole season is after this game. It doesn't seem like we're getting a ton of breaks on balls in play, other than Reed Johnson's triple.
  3. lol, Darwin Barney with a HR and a BB in the same game.
  4. Hey look, it's that setup man the Brewers didn't really want this offseason who costs more than all three starting position players we added combined.
  5. Part of me still wants to believe that we can be like last year's Pirates through July (not that good but really lucky) and then add Rizzo and Jackson and just start to roll.
  6. Anthony Rizzo is Don Draper, and PCL pitching is that dream redhead that won't get out of his apartment when he asked. /topical reference
  7. LaHair is going to be good and Rizzo's just not going to give a freak and pistolwhip him and take the job anyway in June. Can either one player corner outfield? I mean anyone but Todd Hundley can be a corner outfielder in theory. But really, no.
  8. This. He was one of the youngest players in AAA last season. No shame in struggling in a small sample in the majors.
  9. Checklist for the rest of the game: Nice inning from Castillo Castro extend on-base streak Ian Stewart reward my faith in him Rizzo hits another home run in Des Moines
  10. LaHair is going to be good and Rizzo's just not going to give a freak and pistolwhip him and take the job anyway in June.
  11. Not a smart person, but same thoughts. He was struggling with consistency, but you can see why there's so much upside there and he's at least a serviceable BOR guy on the downside.
  12. He appears to be being saved for LOOGY situations before the 8th inning. He warmed up yesterday, iirc.
  13. Okay, now I kinda wish it really had been Wood pitching that inning.
  14. It's unconscionable that the manager would use the second best reliever on the team in back to back close games with an off day in between after not getting a lot of work in spring training. No manager would make that move. I'm intrigued by the idea that Wood is the second best reliever on the team. I mean, if you have faith in his 2011, then he's got to be the best, right?
  15. Someone needs to tell Sveum that he accidentally sent out Camp. I'm assuming he meant to use Wood here.
  16. Wood has homered and is perfect through 3. I reinstate my undying love.
  17. You've been pissy and reactionary since 2007. Why stop now? FYP, and I don't intend on stopping.
  18. Yes. I'd really like to err on the side of caution on the first time through the rotation, Samardzija yesterday aside.
  19. This is the game thread, so I'm allowed to be pissy and reactionary (not that I won't in other threads too, but still). Anyway, Travis Wood is perfect through three and Volstad has been shaky. Glad we give out jobs based on spring training results.
