IST: Cubs vs. Brewers

[CSF77]

Rizzo: .918 OPS 514 AB's. No brainer
Bryant: .924 OPS 491 AB's as above.

Baez .788 OPS 419 AB earned the playing time

Heyward: .702 OPS 386 AB There for the glove. Bad contract thus far.
Schwarber .757 OPS 378 AB. We get wrapped up into his SO's and BA but he has a .312 OBA vs Baez's .310 And "we" ride Baez's jockstrap while bash on Schwarber? SLG: Baez: .477 vs Schwarber: .444 SO's 134 for Schwarber vs 128 for Baez.

So something is wrong with the way we perceive these 2. Is it in our expectations? We expect Schwarber to be producing like Rizzo and dislike his current production. While Baez with his numbers we have a positive reaction. Is it because we expected less?

At the end of the day they are pretty close to each other. Maybe we need to not put predetermined values on them and judge them by their production.


Zobrist has been pretty close to Heyward's production. .321 OBA each. SLG about the same .381. So basically the same player with the D edge to Heyward.

Honestly neither should be playing over Happ. .330 OBA. .517 SLG. Can't argue that.

Well according to some, Maddon is one of the best managers in the game. So I guess we should just trust him.

This is another dumb post. You point to a small sample size as to determining whether a manager is above average or not.

Everything that points to Maddon being sub par is dumb to you.

Another dumb small sample size post by you. I was critical of Maddon's use if Chapman and also bringing in Lester when Hendricks was doing fine. Your comment ignores the entirety of Maddon's coaching career.

What he does between the lines makes him above average. What he does outside of just game time makes him highly successful. Try not to suck, Brett.

Your kool aid, I step aside.

Name the best managers in the game today. Two of them met in the WS last year. Another one is in NY.

I would never say "try now to suck", because it's "try not to suck".

He happened to spend the bulk of his career with two very talented teams. Stick him on the Padres for the next decade and let's see how he does.

He lost 197 games his first two years in Tampa.

More good stuff from you. Keep it up.

And ownership then provided him with good players through FA and trades. Ever heard of Evan Longoria?

Try not to suck.

Well Crew lost one of their top 2 starters. I don't think they will be there at the end. It was their pitching that won the series. Now they are 1 short.

How games did Nelson win against the Cubs?

They should be at the park today working. That was the worst showing for this team in a long time.
