June 12, 201312 yr QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 12, 2013 -> 03:48 AM) @PWSullivan Cubs acquire RH Henry Rodriguez from Nats for Class A RH Ian Dickson. Sanchez DFA'd Discuss. Pick up Eduardo Sanchez now. I know notbing about him, other than a 1.80 ERA as a 22 year old.
June 12, 201312 yr QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Jun 11, 2013 -> 10:53 PM) Cubs were number #2 on the waiver order so that would Miami passed and that was it. Supposedly Alec Antoupolus and Theo Epstein are major proponents of claiming as many players as possible. He wouldn't have gotten past Miami. Cheap, pen arms that throw 100 MPH don't last long on the waiver wire. The Cubs just outright acquired him from the Nats.
June 18, 201312 yr On his first two pitches as a Cub, Henry Rodriguez first hit the umpire, then Carlos Beltran.
June 18, 201312 yr Meanwhile, Nate Jones has put up a 1.38 ERA, 0.85 WHIP, 12.5 K/9, 18 K/BB, and a .506 OPSa in his last 10 appearances, 13 IP.

June 18, 201312 yr On his first two pitches as a Cub, Henry Rodriguez first hit the umpire, then Carlos Beltran. Juuuuuuust a bit outside.
June 18, 201312 yr QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jun 18, 2013 -> 09:40 AM) Indeed! http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=88772 Who could have ever seen that coming. I love the idea of regression, because Nate Jones is probably about a 3.00-3.50 ERA pitcher with about a 1.2-1.3 WHIP who gets by based off of electric stuff. Based on his overall numbers, he's expected to come back to earth from that 1.38 ERA but he's also expected to keep it up, because he's not a 5.00 ERA pitcher. As a result, he's both pitching normally AND over his head at the same time.

People see a 3.00 ERA pitcher and expect him to give up precisely 3 runs during each 9 inning set that he pitches, when that's just not true. All sports (probably all performances in general) are made up of hot streaks and cold streaks.

July 15, 201312 yr DFAed by the Cubs. They used him twice since June 23rd. I watched him pitch Wednesday night, awful.
