  1. Some of you will have toforgive me, but I really like the willingness of this regime to admit a mistake and move on. Basically that they understand what a sunk cost is.
  2. It's ERA, so take it for what it's worth, but all five Cubs staters are in the top fifty in ERA in mlb.
  3. 4 game sweep of Milwaukee was probably just a shade better, since it was for the division. But it's close, and if someone wants to say this is better because it's the first big move by this particular group and it's been so long, I have no argument. I can't even remember the year, but there was a big 5 game set in wrigley against the Cardinals where the Cubs took 4 of 5 that I remember as amazing. I think this included an inning with 10 consecutive hits by the Cubs, though I may be mixing memories. I have googled myself silly trying to find these games. Can anyone help? Edit: the five game series was over Labor Day weekend 2003.
  4. You overlooked the dumbest of them all!
  5. How about the 4th best starting pitching in baseball? the 4th worst offense in baseball effectively cancels this out clearly it hasn't also, the cubs are FIFTEENTH in position player WAR, so despite their offensive badness, the other part of the team hasn't been an unmitigated disaster Except that the defensive part of that position player war is accounted for in that "4th best pitching (unless he's using FIP). Not that I agree with him, but it's a thing.
  6. Kyle has the death sentence on twelve systems. I will kill every Almora I can get my hands on, until they are as dead as their dragons, and then I will piss on their graves. We have to resign Fowler or no one will be pissing anywhere, ever.
  7. Last night was the perfect time to use him. Essentially an off day for the bullpen. (And extra batting practice for the hitters)
  8. So is no one coming up to do today? Edit: Montero DHing as its Lester/Ross day.
  9. I think it's time to change Brandon's name (ala jerry, Garry, Larry on parks and rec). I suggest Brenden.
  10. Love it. Floyd kinda threw Melvin under the bus there at the end.
  11. You realize the scale for those plots are in feet, right? Yes and a 3" diameter ball puts those pitches an inch or two low or outside. Bad call, but not egregiously so. The one to Soler, however, wow. I'm pretty sure the black box already considers the width of the ball. I didn't get out a ruler, but the box goes .8 feet in either direction(maybe a bit more), which is already 2+ inches wider than the actual plate. Gotcha. Retracted.

  13. If that's "close enough" then we shouldn't even bother having balls and strikes. If that is the center of a 3" diameter sphere, then the edge of than sphere is almost touching that 17" box.
  14. Do those dots represent the center of the ball? If so, the two on Bryant are close enough.
  15. Clearly we need designated pitchers to pitch for pitchers so that they don't get hurt.
  16. Schwarber leads AA in almost every offensive category. Um. No. He doesn't even lead his own team in most offensive categories at the moment. He does, however, lead both Arismendy Alcantara and Antonio Alfonseca in almost every offensive category.
  17. Khalil Greene. J.R. Towles. Who was all about Khalil Greene?
  18. Physical abnormalities. Conduct unbecoming a pedophile.
  19. Khalil Greene.
  20. Threats of violence against babies. And puppies.
  21. No one thinks you're a troll. 2003 is a real bad memory for most of us. ;) Because Baker killed prior by sending a rookie with 200 innings on his arm for the first time ever back out in the 8th inning of an 8-1 game with 131 pitches... 131 freaking pitches...how stupid can you be! breathe, breathe, br. **passes out** Guy has a point, Maddon is better.
  22. Clearly he is a Cardinals fan. Best Fuhrer In Baseball
