Babip explains why Pena, Soto, Colvin, Kosuke, Barney, Baker and Garza, and possibly even Castro are all performing way better or worse than expected. Bascially, with the exception of Castro and Ramirez, all the good hitters have been bad so far and all the bad hitters have been good thanks to crazy Babips.
But I don’t understand what the fuck’s going on with Dempster. Or Z. At least Cash and Wells made themselves easy to analyze by just getting injured.

it will be much more multiple than the last 2 years, for sure, and you can’t base the offense on 1 player like Martinez was last season. He’s not durable. From what I’ve read and saw in the spring game, we’ll see a bunch of stuff, and they’re going no huddle, up tempo.

I would love to get a receiver that is taller than 5’10
i mean knox is a great #2 but he just gives up on routes leading to cutlers

exactly. They need a pro bowl WR. They can find one eventually, but that’s what they NEED besides a better o-line.

Len and Bob mentioning Scorecasting? It’s nice to see they’re talking stats, but could they at least talk about ones that haven’t been debunked by people who know what the hell they’re talking about?

Yea i mean i would love a huge one… i wonder what the availability of Larry Fitzgerald is?

I just realized the worst part of the Smardzjia draft pick was that even if he turns into a competent reliever this season, his option is so damn expensive that he probably won’t be here next year.
What a bust.

Yeah, Sharkie Boy can stay now. As long as he’s pitching well, let’s see if they can stretch him out to cover for 4 starters.

I should’ve realized that earlier, but I planned on watching the cubs. we saw how that turned out. I don’t like watching the draft, just been tracking it.

I wasn’t telling you to go over there to talk about the draft, HG. Just wanted to make sure you knew that. I was just giving you the link to let you know that someone set up a thread for it. I haven’t checked it so I have no idea if there’s anyone talking about the draft there or not. It’s just not something I care about. I’ll read about where some of the Hawkeyes were picked tomorrow.

Oh I know, and it’s quite busy over there. I wasn’t really interested in talking too in-depth.

Using Marmol here breaks like four unwritten rules.

Marmol seems to be giving up more hits this year

As does my posting in this thread anymore at all.

He seems to give up a hit every time I tell somebody how he never gives up hits.
