Checking in

We’re winning! Good to see. Marquis’s numbers are good thus far, although 1-0 is an unlikely winning score. Hopefully the pitching stays strong and the bats heat up, go Cubs!

Yep.

Big league stats are a small sample size. But K and BB rates stabilize a lot quicker than anything else. At 40 PAs they mean SOMETHING – not everything, but something.

Of course, we could get into his minor league stats and translations, but you’d call those bullshit too, probably.

It's not about clutch or unclutch.

It’s that he doesn’t seem to have any command of the strike zone – he’ll swing at anything. He’s a very undisciplined hitter.

Bases loaded jam in the 4th

Escaped with minimal damage, and now cruising on 82 pitches through 6. Not too shabby.

everyone’s paid too much.

exactly it's the market

I know if someone offer to pay me triple what I charge to clean there house. I won’t turn them down. No different than Marquis signing a contract worth more than he deserves
