: How do you envision Marte playing when he comes back?
|
| 9:07 |
: I don’t imagine much of anything is going to change
|
| 2:05 |
: The internet is wonderful. I was here, with my dad, and really enjoyed this song, It’s Ice:
|
| 12:01 |
: Any chance Zunino starts doing things at the plate anytime soon? Or should I jump ship and grab another flier like Hedges or Bandy?
|
| 12:02 |
: Players like Zunino are super streaky. Still it’s not good that he’s striking out EVEN MORE. I’d give Bandy a shot. That’s at least a league average K%.
|
| 12:02 |
: Updated thoughts on Amir Garrett?
|
| 12:03 |
: He was 91.5 mph on the fastball and actually got whiffs on it yesterday. Still not a great fastball guy but his secondaries are fine. I like him more.
|
| 12:03 |
: Is it bad that I never ask baseball questions in this chat? In related news, I am using the bathroom

: Hi everybody!
|

: Hi
|
| 9:01 |
: How quickly are projections updated? Do depth charts playing time allocations take some time to catch up? How about ZIPS/Steamer?

: How can I learn to be as handsome as you?
|
| 9:08 |
: Silence those that find you not handsome
|
| 1:52 |
: Let’s get in trouble together.

|
| 12:02 |
: I know you’ve looked at guys with statistical indications of “closer stuff” before. Anyone stand out from the leaderboards who’s not closing yet?
|
| 12:04 |
: Neris of course. Nothing else is obvious though if there were no cost concerns, I’d say Arodys would take over for JIm Johnson pretty soon. Rosenthal for Oh might happen by velo and ks…
|
| 12:04 |
: the Cubs keep grounding into double plays. I know it’s April, but they weren’t really a big double play team last year. Should I be worried?
|
| 12:04 |
: Not the kind of thing that’s really sticky and they don’t seem like a ground-ball team.
|
| 2:04 |
: Is Carter Capps a top 10 NL closer by the end of this season?
|
| 2:04 |
: OH yeah, hello.
|
| 2:05 |
: Could be, but I don’t want to commit yet given that he’s still doing rehab.
|
| 2:05 |
: And whether they call his shot put windup under new guidelines, I’m not sure of
|
| 2:05 |
: Thoughts on Eric Thames so far? I know your system had him projected for a fairly significant season
|
| 2:05 |
: If he destroys the NL, Steamer gets the win over ZiPS – STeamer was more optimistic.
|
| 12:01 |
: Happy Wednesday everyone.
|
| 12:01 |
: Most teams have played seven games at this point, so let’s speculate wildly about what those seven games mean, and overreact emotionally to every outcome.
|
| 12:01 |
: As is April tradition.
|
| 12:02 |
: As a Cardinals’ fan, what is my first priority: 1] Getting a refund from MLB.TV, 2] starting scurrilous rumors about players in the bullpen, or 3] simply buying http://www.FireMikeMatheny.com/ ?
|
| 12:02 |
: No better place to start than this.
|
| 12:02 |
: The Cardinals first week was pretty lousy, but it’s hard to imagine Cecil/Oh/Siegrist are going to combine for a 98.50 ERA or whatever they have right now.
