Red posted:Statistically, how do starters brought in for relief in extra innings generally fare? I don't have an answer for you but: 2001 WS Game 7 Randy Johnson was cool as hell. Bumgarner threw 5 shutout relief innings Game 7 in 2014. Syndegaard came in last year in Game 5 of the NLDSS and threw one inning of shutout relief. I'm sure there are also terrible examples as well. But when it works out it's usually awesome. Also, unless it's 2010 Ubaldo Jiminez, that's not the loving starting pitcher that I am bringing in, I don't care what his last 60 innings have been. His last 1,000 innings have been horrible. Thom P. Tiers fucked around with this message at 15:25 on Oct 5, 2016 |

Nail Rat posted:I've never seen anything thrown on the field at any Cubs game I've been to (probably around 45 or so) but then again they don't hand out stacks of papers either. I mean, this would account for 5% of games the last 10 years at Wrigley (unless you went to 45 games THIS YEAR, which, cool). You can do a simple search of poo poo thrown on field at Wrigley and get hits over the years. Also, baseballs are routinely thrown back aren't they?

Poque posted:I don't understand how any stadium still gives out actual cans for people to drink from, especially Rogers. I went to Detroit a couple years back and just kind of stared at the concessions worker after she handed me a can to take back to my seat. I mean, I'm thinking they are hoping you would act like a socialized adult and not throw poo poo onto the field. You can also bring things that are a lot more dangerous to throw than beer cans, baseballs included! Hell, I'm sure you could go to the souvenir shop and get a mini bat and throw that at someone on the field.

I'd be more worried about Arrieta having a 4.50 ERA in his last 100 innings and a walk rate of nearly 4 per 9IP in that time span (facing a team that likes to walk) than what state he is pitching in. He also led the league in wild pitches this year

Popete posted:I got the same feeling watching the Indians last night, everyone just seemed to not give a poo poo. But this is actually true for Indians fans because you can't help thinking "where were all these people during the regular season?".

Inspector_666 posted:Attendance numbers usually lag a season behind actual performance. Yankee Stadium was empty even when they were on a tear and barely out of the WC slot this year (not that "the team is bad" is the only good reason to not bother going to the stadium.) I get this but the Indians haven't had a losing record since 2012. I didn't realize the Indians didn't draw crowds anymore.

Bumgarner has made ~$23m over his 8 years of pitching. 1400 innings of 2.99 ERA and a bonus 100 innings of 1.94 ERA that has come with 3 rings. My God that's a crime.

Ammat The Ankh posted:He'd thrown 120 pitches already, he's coming off TJ surgery, and if you can't depend on your bullpen to get three outs with a three run lead you aren't going to the World Series anyway. Is 120 the magic number of pitches where your arm explodes if you are coming off of TJ surgery? He threw 133 pitches in a near no hitter and was then pulled after the single. This game was a million times more important than getting a no-hitter but Bochy had no problem leaving him in for 133 pitches that night.

Pancakes posted:I think the Cardinals are more of a threat than you're betting on. The Cubs have more young talent among position players but the gulf isn't as wide as everyone makes it out to be. I'm still bullish on Kolten Wong, Aledmys Diaz seems like a 3-4 WAR player, Carpenter remains solid (though I wouldn't really call him young anymore) and Piscotty is always dangerous to the point that I assume many Cubs fans would trade Heyward for him straight up. The staff can't possibly be as bad as it was this season but I also don't think the offense is going to be anywhere near as good. It will be an interesting offseason and I hope they spend some smart money. Also, I am loving all these meltdowns, keep them coming.

For whatever reason, he isn't some totally poo poo pitcher this season and his last 140 innings are: 0.926 WHIP, 10.7 K/9, and a 202 ERA+. Also, starting pitchers the Cubs have been shutout by this season: Scott Kazmir James Shields Tyler Chatwood Drew Pomeranz Madison Bumgarner Brock Stewart It's baseball, poo poo happens.

bad boy in the boy band posted:What have Heyward's last 83 been like? More meaningless stats: Coghlans last 14 PA's he hasn't gotten a hit. And I can find an 80 plate appearance set within Heywards season that matches what Coghlan has "done for you lately." I just think it's funny they benched amazing defense for maybe the same exact bat. More useless info: Coghlan's last hit came on September 27th and Jason Heyward ended the season with 56 PA's of 304/411/478. Thom P. Tiers fucked around with this message at 20:59 on Oct 25, 2016 |

CubsWoo posted:Even with yours (when he hit about half his season HR total) he still can't hit an .800 OPS I dunno if you caught the rest of my post because I edited it, but Coghlan hasn't had an MLB hit since September 27th. Heyward had ridiculous stats his last 54 PA's of the season. Heyward is an incredible defender (also none of these weird sample sets even matter). My main point is Heyward is a good defender why change that for probably the same bat? I just don't get the move. As other Cubs people have said, why not Contreras/Zobrist?

ChiTownEddie posted:Am I the only Cubs fan that remembers that Kluber uses a historically Not Good fastball to setup great breaking stuff? He had his fb last night, it was cool to watch. If he doesn't have it to the same degree even a little bit the Cubs could utterly crush him. Kershaw lost a bit of touch on his curve in game 6 and look what happened. I was always of the thought that his two seam fastball was incredibly good and then he destroys people with his cutter/slider thing.

Kevlar v2.0 posted:My uncle lives in Cleveland, so I wanted to meet up with him for lunch while I'm in town. He picked a place called Urban Farmer and as soon as I walked in, I saw Tom Ricketts there eating with his family. We were seated and served, then a few minutes later, Ryne Sandberg and his family sat down at the table right next to us. It was a bit awkward since I was wearing my Sandberg shirtsey at the time. After another couple minutes, a waitress comes up to me and says "excuse me, but some fans at the table over there want to take care of your bill and buy you a round of drinks." Apparently another table told the waitress they wanted to buy Sandberg's meal, but she had no idea which one was him and just assumed it was the guy wearing the Sandberg shirtsey. Great story but why the hell are fans offering to buy multi millionaires their food.
