Quick question
I asked this in the previous thread; you may have missed it during the transition here.
How much better (if at all) is Rammy’s D this season as opposed to, say, 3 years ago?
It SEEMS better, but, to parapharse Hamlet, “Nay, I know not seems.”
I don’t know a whole lot about defensive metrics. Thanks

Cwyers will have the stats.
But I can tell you that his errors have gone down & his fielding % up over the last three years, as his legs got progressively more healthy.

He had a spectacular year defensively last season...
...and has been worse this season. Right now I’d say he’s about average defensively at third, which would be an improvement over where he was a few years ago.
by cwyers on Jul 30, 2008 9:54 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Wow,
I guess the “naked eye” told me that he was having a great year defensively…
BTW, are fielders “penalized” statistically if their pitchers K a lot of guys? Fewer chances per 9 innings?

It would be a very modest effect, and only in seasonal totals.
You’d see fewer chances, but normally when comparing players you do runs per a standardized number of chances – generally the average number of chances for a full-time player at that position.

lil dark... but it use to be my sisters camera and she said that its something easy to fix
Honestly seeing him and Z warm up at the bullpen before the game, I got up right to the front. I got to watch them. Heard the glove popping… Cubbiegirl I dialed up…. and said something like omg you will never guess i am right near the bullpen and can see our boy. this is so cool. we giggled like school girls.
Then I started to take pictures and my hands were tremoring abit. So a Brewer fan took a few of them for me. Until I composed myself a bit more. It was such a neat expeience.

You know, if I were a brewers negative fan I would point out that...
A) My manager is a moron
B) My right fielder (hart) continually plays singles into doubles/triples (geez, he pulls up on EVERYTHING
C) My catcher can’t throw out my grandma (unless it is a pitch out, which I am surprised that they didn’t call ON EVERY PITCH
D) No matter how many times this “young” team mentions how much they “learned” by choking on the pressure last year, they still haven’t learned how to handle a big series (and bull hooey to any talking head that mentions that there are no big series in July)

Hart is a pretty decent fielder but needs to take his head out of his ass.
C) Im pretty sure that Kendall leads the league in throwing out runners.
D) they have been awful this series but they did pretty well in a pressure filled Cardinals series.

Honest question...
If I’d told you at the beginning of the ASB that at the end of the Cubs series you’d have a winning record against the Central Division stretch (Cards, Astros and Cubs), wouldn’t you have taken it?
I recognize that this Cubs series is disappointing, but the sweep of the Cardinals had to be satisfying.
The playoff order isn’t determined in August, and your rotation should still be solid for a stretch run with most of your games at home in September.
It’s up to the Cubs, IMO, to make their run now until the end of August and hold on down the stretch.

Is it my imagination,
or do the Cubs in this series look like the Cubs? Offense, defense, pitching, and a hint of swagger while beating a very good team 3 times in a row in their yard.
This team can go all the way, very easily…

I don’t. However, I have been watching him closely, as I am sure you have. TO ME, something just seems off. All of the ground balls…All of the balls in his wheel house that used to be driven out of the park (or somewhere with authority) are just now deep fly balls. Without analysis, this just becomes just a love fest during wins, or a pity party during losses. I am just looking for some critical opinions here. Not people who can’t look beyond the surface.
Just give some thought to the player that you are watching in these at bats, and tell me that he reminds you of the guy we have watched scorch balls the last couple of years.

You're losing track of the thread
Not accusing you of being a hater. A good at bat is just that, whether by a player you think is scuffling or one you think isn’t (as in the drewish one’s opinion). You asked “Can we stop with the praising of players who have ‘great at bats’ when all they do is work a count full and then do nothing with it?”
We disagree with your premise; we don’t question your love of DLee. Good work by somebody who’s been King GIDP is still good work… and maybe signs of a turn of fortune.

Perhaps I picked a bad time to harp about the "great at bat" comments (sorry hbcg)
but I have been seeing them for everyone lately. It started bothering me in the last loss to the Marlins. The last at bat of the game, people were praising Dome for a great at bat. To end the game. Big deal. Admittedly, DLee’s at bat was nice…in that he didn’t strike out. But he very nearly GIDP again (one more foot and Hall gets 3rd base and whips it to first to get Lee).

This should translate well for the rest of the season…as long as some of those bats wake up

Adding them up...
no 1. Sori will get at least one XBH
yes 2. Demp will give up 2 ER in 7 IP
no 3. A Cubs OF will make a great catch sometime tonight
yes 4. DeRo will reach base twice
yes 5. The Cubs will have at least 1 PH tonight
yes 6. The Cubs will win by whatever score preacher says…
yes 7. (going out on a limb…) The Brewers will make at least 2 atrocious plays on defense.
no 8. Marmol will get the save
5 for 8…not bad, eh?
