Cubs 2012 Arizona Instructional League - Final Stats
Here are the final statistics from the Cubs 2012 AZ Instructional League (AIL) season.
There is no official scorer at the games, so all stats are “unofficial.”
Stats from Instructs intra-squad games and “sim” game are not included.
19 AIL games were originally scheduled, but four of the games were canceled to allow for additional “Camp Days,” and another game was canceled due to a mix-up in the schedule (the Cubs played an intra-squad game that day instead).
Just as a matter of context, the AZ Instructional League is approximately equivalent to half-way between Boise and Peoria (Kane County) -- so it is sort of “Boise-plus” or “Peoria/Kane-lite.”
FINAL RECORD: 8-6

Bill Clinton wants to know what is is.
If you love Bob so much why don't you marry him!?!?!?
:-)
i'm just used to bob knowing a lot more about the team...noticing when someone is off their swing or a pitch and recalling when he's been better...comparative analysis of what was done in the past vs what's going on now. it's not like i pine for the days of bob vs aram...because that got old, but bob really dug down in his analysis of players without getting preachy or doing "i'm steve stone and here's how he could be perfect" type analysis.
bob also seemed to not only know who was in the minors, but how they were doing down there beyond the numbers and would talk about them.
I actually enjoy this team much more than last years squad. My twtw(the will to watch) is up 25%-30% from last year. If it wasn't for the shit bullpen, this team would be totally average! If they could dump E. Jax and his entire salary and replace him with one of the college arms, then we are on to something. Make a trade for Price, which I don't see happening, and you've got yourself a fantastic rotation.

Let's hear some examples. It's a bit of a reach to suggest that you know he's not doing his homework without providing specifics.
I haven't been able to watch many games (and there is some apathy involved, too), but he's been fine as far as I'm concerned.
Also seems to be a lot of dead air time -- he and Len don't tseem to be in sync yet.
Almora goes 4-7 in yesterday's 14-inning Kane County loss, dropping his average to .636.

FG article from yesterday about the overwhelming underperformance of the 2013 Cubs. If I understand their 'Clutch' stat correctly, then the Cubs this year are 40% less clutch than the 29th-most clutch team in baseball.
I still love TCR, please don't hate me.

scrubbies lose...18-28
as an aside...though jim d. hasn't been awful in the booth, it's a bit disappointing he didn't/doesn't do the amount of "homework" getting to know the team or critiquing things being done like bob did.
so far, when i hear jim d. calling a game it feels like he's a national "game of the week" generic type announcer that doesn't know the team well.
he's a full-on 100% replacement for "bad joke bob" type humor, though.
