I am so down about this that I really, really hope that they are in a better place mentally than me and all of the fans.

Picked up the One today. Beautiful, snappy, awesome. Happy to be far, far away from iOS (and TouchWiz, for that matter)

Cubs vs Sox 1:20 PM
QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 29, 2013 -> 01:40 PM) Didn't matter. When Dunn delayed going home right away on what was a crisply hit ball, the DP was lost. Probably at least 65-70% they turn that DP, 100% DeJesus is out at home unless Dunn throws it away. Those plays at home are always bang-bang, usually you just take the two outs if you can

Cubs vs Sox 1:20 PM
QUOTE (bbilek1 @ May 29, 2013 -> 01:40 PM) There is no excuse for Dunn there. He did not even look. That is the catchers call though, I wonder if Flowers messed up. Everyone should have known the plan before the play started. They had to have been planning for two outs rather than one run in the first inning.

Nate Jones is a poor relief pitcher
QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ May 28, 2013 -> 01:36 PM) Check this page out: http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playe...&position=P When comparing this year's line and last year's line, I conclude that he's just fine and will be better going forward. Here's why: 1) 48.3% strand rate vs. 85.8% League average strand rate is around 70%. There are instances of pitchers that are who are worse consistently either because they can't focus on the batter with runners on or because their stuff diminishes from the stretch. Typically, however, RPs are NOT among them, given that most of them always pitch from the stretch and come in with runners on base most of the time. Given Jones' success last year, I have no reason to believe he is below average. To me, it's a safe bet that this number will regress toward 70% going forward. 2) 7.01 ERA vs. 3.55 FIP DIPS theory is not infallible by any stretch, but this difference is absolutely stark. Furthermore, his component rates (BB%, K%, HR/FB) are all very similar to last year's rates. The K's are down a touch, but the homeruns are better, resulting in a FIP that is very close to last year's 3.39. This is absolutely ripe for regression. 3) 11.9% walk rate vs. 10.6% If Nate was really having major control issues (as compared to last year), this rate would be much higher. Overall, I think this is a case of some bad luck in sequencing for Nate. I don't ever expect him to put up the same baseball card numbers as last year, but the peripherals are showing him to be essentially the same pitcher in terms of process and stuff. I think he's fine. I noticed all of those same things as well. He still is in trouble, though. He can't have more poor outings, luck or not. For now, Omogrosso should be getting higher leverage appearances than Jones.
