    i'm honestly surprised that guy is literate.

    now that it's all i have to look forward to as a cubs fan, the time it takes for these signings is like the last three hours of the trade deadline stretched out over a period of months.

    brett jackson just got tossed. he had been called, somehow, for interference at firstbase after a strikeout by the next batter. if that makes sense. was unaware that vitters was actually playing firstbase now. anyhow, jackson was 1-3 with a walk; vitters is 1-3 also (but no walk) _________________________ 1st:Brett Jackson singles on a soft line drive to right fielder Felix Perez. Junior Lake called out on strikes, catcher James Skelton. Brett Jackson out at 1st. Brett Jackson out on batter interference. 3rd: Brett Jackson walks. 4th: Brett Jackson grounds out, second baseman Henry Rodriguez to first baseman Neftali Soto. Matthew Spencer scores.

    the only stat line that's way out of sync with the others is his HRFB%. His BABIP is around .400, and has to come down. But even on those flyballs turning into homeruns, it feels like he's been good gap to gap. they used to have spray charts on mlb.com's stats page i thought, but can't find it now. 1.542 OPS with RISP 9this year. and those UZR ratings posted earlier weren't exactly fair. Soriano's UZR/150 in left this year is 6.9, and Johnson's is 28.5, albeit in dauntingly fewer innings. however, in any season where Reed has logged significant innings in left, his stats this year, according to UZR/150, are actually down. He is no great shakes in center, but he is easily a better defender than Aldolpho. i don't know why i just did all of that stat tracking on reed flipping johnson. he's a nice player, but little more. although he has won a handful of team-official hustle of the year awards while in the blue jays system, as well as in toronto itself. \:D/ :stickman: :clapping: :stickman: \:D/

    his sentence structures and grammar as so inexcusable. i know it's a sports broadcast, and he's from texas, but... i think one of the more overlooked aspects of that job is the off the cuff ability to string the phrases of what's going on as it's going on and coming out of the broadcasters mouth, all while thinking a handful of words in advance. it's tough for anyone in the booth with pat because he's so damn good (in my opinion he is as good as anyone not named vin skully, at least that i've heard), and while moreland has a decent sense of humor, i would almost prefer a no-baseball-background game from pat and judd serot, and i never thought i'd say that one or two years ago (and maybe that's the best hope that moreland could ask for). i loathed serot a couple years ago, but he's come a long way.

    1) i'd like to know what the marmol-before-his-arm-explodes argument is about. delivery on the slider? 2) i'd have to imagine that the "hendry secure" part is inherent in the whole being allowed to be head-of-voltron for a fire sale 3) marshall. i like the possible return to role on team ratio with him 4) there is no way soriano is movable. to whom and for what? 5) a-ok with moving soto. castillo is close enough with the bat (though his difference in obp worries me a bit, though not as much as the likelihood of hill getting ++ > starts over whoever else can catch). 6) what team in competition does not already have a firstbaseman comparable to pena enough to desire him? 7) damn i hate hendry. 8) what has hendry ever received prospect-wise in a deal sending major league talent of decent ability for said youngsters? 9) how do the cubs obtain one of the yankees good catching prospects?

    It's gonna happen.

    would you say trout has a plus-plus rump? it's pretty cool to see guys like randall delgado, teheran, rubby de la rosa, etc getting call ups earlier than projected ETAs. matt moore is a stud

    i still don't understand why lemaihue is on the big league team. it's like now that they can call up the kids they are just randomly drawing straws.
  11. Shilzzz
    boy it seems like the catcher is always dropping the play at the plate throw
  12. Shilzzz
    boy i'm glad someone pointed out that boston really isn't that great of a front office, all things considered.

    when i lurk through these daily threads it seems like we have a handful of pretty decent prospects but that they are all kind of logically leveled out as fringe by scouts or reports via our conduits of scouts. beechler and kirk seem good. jackson could be real deal. i still hate vitters but there seems to be growing hope with him. this new kid from the dominican who has that 800 obp or whatever. sczczur. and i think there is a shortstop somewhere in there, too. mcnutt. so what, that's three starters, a couple outfielders, and a couple infielders? not too bad at all. i'd really hate to lose wilkin. he seems to be the watermark in the shift of talent. unless we can nab depodesta or something. edit: brett, not jay.

    Tough to swallow that the cubs could very well have the top pick, and almost certainly will be a top 5. Be pretty cool if the consensus guy is a hs pitcher.
  17. Shilzzz
    Well, he didn't swing at it... in 3 plate appearances thus far today, vitters has seen 5 pitches, swung at 4 of them and was hit by the other one. Not writing him off or anything, but seeing that didn't make me happy. when does he finally get written off? i understand he has good zone coverage, but an extended big league career that doesn't make. it seems silly to consider him to ever be a productive starting option outside of the greyhound leagues

    i enjoyed the total but comment. i hate partial buts. stagged conversations are so awkward whereas juxtaposing two statements helps context.

    Bout to kill em this summer goin al white ayething
  20. Shilzzz
    it'll be coleman undoubtedly. and as much as i don't want doug davis, it's the right move. http://cdn.idolator.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Kanye-Shrug.jpg
  21. Shilzzz
    not because the team is pretty bad and interest has lulled thusly?
  22. Shilzzz
    as if they scheduled game times, length of games, and the way each is played! HUZZAH!
  23. Shilzzz
    hell yeah, bruh. i say we make them celeried employees... don't feed 'em unless they get it perfect (a perfection which is completely dictated by guys like us, of course, not these union jerkoff slackers)
  24. Shilzzz
    no. the manager must rule with an iron fist. the players will comply appropriately, recognizing their pitiful place at last. the fans will cheer on the masochistic successes heretofore merely a utopia imagined by good ol' boys and girls who know the way things really work, damn it, period. why won't you listen to obvious logic, truffle?

    you mean the case where theriot's dire pursuit of recognition pushed negotiations to arbitration with a team whose current front office had not had a single other player dispute fairness of offered contract dollars? when this happened it was plain what kind of individual theriot at least was (and seemingly still is). fitting that he wind up in st louis.
