September 1, 201015 yr It will be a crime if Felix doesn't win the CY this year, but I don't suppose he will.
September 1, 201015 yr QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 09:52 AM) The Reds could be a very good team for a long time. The cubs really need to hope no other team in that division steps up as they could lose a whole lot of games until the money opens up. Anyone but Yanks or Red Sox. Votto: 26 Phillips: 29 Bruce: 23 Stubbs (who I love): 25 Cueto: 24 Volquez: 26 Leake: 22 Bailey: 24 Wood: 23 Chapman: 22 I never really like predicting sustained runs. I've been wrong many times (I thought the Tigers were set for a big run back in '06). But the ingredients for a run are all there. QUOTE (Gregory Pratt @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 12:21 PM) It will be a crime if Felix doesn't win the CY this year, but I don't suppose he will. Sabermetrics will have come a LONG way if Felix were to win it. Liriano and Weaver both deserve serious consideration as well. Unfortunately, we still have old, crusty voters who forever think it's 1950 and refuse to acknowledge that the game is forever evolving. I expect CC to win it.
September 1, 201015 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 10:13 PM) Chapman pitched tonight....looked amazing I'd be a hell of a lot more excited about him if he was still starting. It's still fun to see that kind of stuff from a guy not named Neftali Feliz.
September 1, 201015 yr QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 04:50 PM) The Pittsburgh Pirates have won 14 road games this year. How many of these were vs Cubs?

September 2, 201015 yr Brandon Allen hit a go-ahead Grand Slam and has made some nifty plays in LF today for AZ. Chris Young with another HR and his OPS is higher than Quentin's. 5-2 D-Backs now, the Padres are starting to hear the footsteps, not unlike the 2005 White Sox...they have a season-defining homestand versus Colorado and SF coming up. Aaron Cunningham also hitting fairly well, albeit without much power...hard to put up huge numbers at PetCo even if you're A-Gon. Edited September 2, 201015 yr by caulfield12
September 2, 201015 yr Nyjer Morgan acting like an absolute piece of crap lately. What the hell is wrong with him?

Felix is not a sabermetric candidate: he's a horse with the second lowest ERA, most Ks, most IPs, etc. etc. Conventional stats. I don't think he'll win, but damn, he should.

September 2, 201015 yr I think we have a new fastest player in baseball. Darren Ford with the SF Giants.
September 2, 201015 yr QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 08:54 PM) Chapman threw 104 on an MLB gun???????? Looking at Brooksbaseball, pitch f/x had him sitting at 102.11 and topping out at 103.9
September 2, 201015 yr QUOTE (Cali @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 10:45 AM) Are they really trying to call Chapman, the Cuban Missle? That 'Nick is spoken for..... When Alexei hits a walk off HR in the WS against Chapman, Chapman will be the Cuban Missile. And Alexei will be the Cuban f***ing Rocket.
September 2, 201015 yr QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 06:16 PM) Brandon Allen hit a go-ahead Grand Slam and has made some nifty plays in LF today for AZ. I saw that play where he ran to the wall and jumped into it. And yes, as Caulfield said, he was playing LF. Incredible athleticism.

September 2, 201015 yr QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Sep 2, 2010 -> 12:49 AM) f***in absurd. It is. But it seems like every team in baseball has at least one guy consistently hitting 100 MPH.
September 2, 201015 yr QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Sep 2, 2010 -> 12:37 AM) Don't know what it is, but he sure got what he deserved tonight. Gaby Sanchez clotheslined the s*** out of him...like WWE style. Pretty hilarious. Edited September 2, 201015 yr by IamtheHBOMB
