    A win without using Leiter. Huge,
  2. Bull
    W! Tied for first.

    AA depth. All the minor league pitchers are on the big club now. Someone has to pitch in TN. No chance he makes the majors.

    The fact that the offense is being carried by the 4th outfielder and a AAA CF nincompoop is disturbing. I mean if it was the AAA corner outfield nincompoop it might make sense, but even he isn't hitting. Can't go on much longer.

    But my eyes say that's impossible. 🙂 Everything is pretty similar to last years as far as batted ball profile (LD% is 24.3 vs 24.2 last year) for Dansby and his BABIP is actually up. Its not so much that he's swinging more, its that he's missing more. He's just walking a little less and striking out a little more. His whiff % is a career high, but not by much. So I guess it's WHEN that swing and miss happens. Hopefully it evens out over time. Happ's contact rates are even worse compared to his career norms. Same story.

    C-MO!!!

    Does Taillon look as good as his box score?
  8. Bull
    What in the world?

    Except that Little needs fielding drills.
  10. Bull
    Yeah. That’s kinda what he does with the splitter. He doesn’t miss bats, bats pound it into the ground on him.

    The way that reads is PCA in every game. You could have a game with Tauchman in CF and Canario or Wisdom in RF. More accurately, 3 of Tauchmam, PCA, Wisdom, Canario, Mervis.

    He's obviously there for his glove.

    NSBB needs a new poster primer, tutorial, FAQ, entrance exam or new poster class to bring people up to speed on topics like SSS, recency bias, opportunity cost, and sunk cost.

    I agree. Pretty unlikely. Cassie’s most likely paths to the majors this year include a long term injury to multiple players and Morel continuing to hit so poorly that you don’t have to “find a place for the bat”.

    I disagree. I think depth is a strength of this team. Kind of hard to anticipate your two (hopefully ) best pitchers and two best hitters going down in the first month. That said, at least on the pitching side, the replacements have been strong. On the hitting side, with happ and Suzuki down you get a good look at a prospect and Wisdom waiting in the wings.

    Check out the Canario thread.

    Season saved.

    I think this will be huge. I don't trust his fly ball profile with the wind howling out in June. He will give up home runs. But if he's not offering up free passes in front of the occasional long ball, I think he can do well in Wrigley. I don't think he'll be THIS good, (maintaining a 0.00 ERA over a complete season is historical somewhat difficult) but I still think he has the possibility to be a solid 2 if he remains elite at not walking people.
  19. Bull
    Any word on PCA?
  20. Bull
    To come out of these first three series 6-3 is quite an accomplishment.
  21. Bull
    I feel like early season “dead arm period” performance against the World Series champs and the bugs bunny all-star line up might not be the best way to judge a guy.
  22. Bull
    Tied for third behind O's and M's, but your point stands.
  23. Bull
    For a major league pitcher, yeah. At your local Wal-Mart, maybe less so. Shorter than 6'8 and 6'6 anyway. I'm just saying, if you have to do a bullpen game, maximize the change of look as much as possible. Leiter is 6'0, but of course, you use him close and late.
  24. Bull
    I'm a once-through-the-order piggyback guy. Once through with the tall lefty, once with the tall righty, then the short lefty, and finally the short righty. Little Brown Smyly Leiter

    Is that arm strength positionally adjusted? Is that 53rd percentile among left fielders or all MLers? He came up as a middle infielder. Any chance he could handle third and send Morel to LF if the Morel-at-third experiment fails. I know you don't typically do that to a veteran or to your player rep, but how much would that increase his value!?
