Quin Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 1, 2015 -> 08:33 AM) If Abreu is in a slump now, that would be awesome. I think he leveled out after the league had more experience with him, but we will see. It's the difference between potentially being a top 5 hitter in baseball or just a top 5 hitter in the divsion. Yeah, this is basically what I meant. I'm expecting monster numbers from him next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3GamesToLove Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 27, 2015 -> 12:01 PM) Unless you are trying to get under a White Sox fan's skin, why would someone go to Soxtalk to praise and discuss Cubs baseball? Because it's a relevant baseball story and Soxtalk is where they go to discuss baseball? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 (edited) That Joe Maddon is a genius. Had them wear pajamas on their flight home. Who, other than a genius thinks of these things? I am really surprised they didn't win last night. It must have been the hangover from winning the WS the night before. Kaplan on his show yesterday, "If I told you the Cubs would be 2-4 on this past road trip, would you take it" Every panelist's answer..........yes. The Cubs can do no wrong in Chicago. A WC team 3rd in their division, and this panel was comparing them to the 2004 Red Sox. This disappointment is going to be tremendous.

OmarComing25 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 (edited) The Cubs are 74-56 with a +22 run differential (13th overall). The A's have a +18 run differential yet are 58-74. Baseball is weird. Edited September 1, 2015 by OmarComing25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The A's have a +18 run differential yet are 58-74. Baseball is weird. Arizona is ahead of the cubs I believe in run differential. Everything is going right for them this year. Sometimes that just happens. Statistically speaking they are an anomaly. I still think they will regret not getting another arm. I also think they strike out way to much.

OmarComing25 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Schwarber's last 15 games: .148/.246/.389, 22 Ks Not saying he won't still be a monster for years to come, but can we wait for him to play more than 50 games in his career before anointing him as the centerpiece of the next Murderer's Row (or saying we should have picked him over Rodon)?

RegionSox Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Sep 1, 2015 -> 08:28 AM) Misread the stat. He's runs above a replacement, and that's mostly due to his position. In left he would be below, but still worth it overall, obviously. He has a DRS of -5 at 3rd. He has only played 38 innings in the outfield this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
