Friday Funnies. Don't freak out about Cubs wins and losses in ST.

Submitted by CubbyBlue on

Inspired by some of the comments here yesterday.
And my own knee-jerk reactions to the letter "L".

.227 I ran a correlation for team win record for the last 3 years, ST & regular season and found an r value of .227. There is nearly no correlation between spring training records and regular season records. Science.

it varies depending on the use/application, but most people don't even pay attention to correlation until you get a r value of .7 or more (.7 being the top of the moderate positive or bottom of the strong positive in most applications). in my industry, you need a .8 or a .9 before it gets the attention of most anyone.

hey look, you're back AGAIN to blah blah blah something i did that's irritating and i'm worse than hitler, etc... let's take a look at my last post on the issue... "cubs fall to 1-8 this spring. no, it's still not a big deal. also, schwarb left the game with a sore left knee...not expected to be serious." hey, how about that. lookie there. check that out. isn't that neat. cool, huh? wow. killer. awesome. once again, can we move on from this "thing"?

Damn, your right, let's look at just your last post on this issue. That is internet law. Nothing you said before that about wins and losses, Maddon's antics, Lester's defense, etc. counts at all. Your right. That's the law of internet comments. I screwed up. Those seven words buried in your last post erase all of the bitching you have been doing for two weeks. If I had seen your last comment, I would have realized that and followed the law. It's all my fault. I saw another one of your stupid Obama comments (still don't understand those) and didn't read past that part, so I never even saw it. Again, my fault. And this "thing" that I have? You represent about 25% of our comments on here. Do you realize that? 13 of the last 50 by my count, and that's fairly normal. It wouldn't be bad if they were constructive. But they are typically gems like: "i know it's spring training, but let’s dispel once and for all with this fiction that barack obama doesn’t know what he’s doing. he knows exactly what he’s doing"--I have no idea what that means or why you think it is funny or clever. Seriously. No idea. This is not Fox News or MSNBC. I come here to get away from politics. Or they are links to a picture of the cast of a TV show from the 1980s with no explanation. Clicking on that link wasted my time. Seriously, again, what the hell does that mean? What's the purpose of it? So that's my "thing." And you can commence with your sarcastic and hyperbolic response that insults me and says that I pick on you, etc. That's fine. I just know that you can't move on from this "thing" that you have with me.

so...let's look at every post...all 2 of them. we have the 2nd. "i know it's just spring, but the cubs are finding new and exciting ways to lose every day. 1-7 so far." there's the 1st. that's some real damming commentary. i mean, really? you also seem to not like my joke about an old TV show or marco rubio. alright. i dunno what to do about this. you're probably going to be pissed in the future, too. i'll file that away and just let you vent because i seriously sure as hell can't tell when i'm gonna trigger you.

there it is! let’s dispel once and for all with this fiction that DUDE YOU ARE NOT HELPING THINGS HERE... also the cubs won, which we must remember doesn't matter, and miggy + vogelbomb hit homers that don't matter. that's your cubs nihilist update. enjoy the rest of your evening, or not.

Help! So we're going to be adding a Resources page. Let me know what you'd like to see up there, and we'll make it happen. We'll also have capacity for RSS feeds, so you'll never have to go anywhere for anything ever.* *Except for porn.

Ha! Terrific! As I mentioned previously, a "Daily Broadcast" display would be cool so we can see all the sources of feed for our beloved. Thanks!

Can you please elucidate on what you mean by a "Daily Broadcast?" I can pull in the top headlines on the Cubs from various sources, e.g, ESPN, MLB, etc... A list of desired feed sources would be helpful. Links to schedules are a given, but not certain what other links would be desirable.

...elucidate on what you mean... I thought that did not need further explanation. A list of feed sources. That is what I have said. And, its a reiteration of what I had requested (which CT STEVE rsponded to) a week ago. I.e.: Cubs vs. Reds, 3:05CT; MLB TV; FSN (1140 in Chicago); WGN 720; Playboy Channel; ESPNU; etc.

    Childersb3: Miguel Cruz walked six in 1.2 IP in his last start, so I guess he is improving. Wilme Mora also walked six in one of his appearances a week or two ago, and one or two others have walked five. I don't know what would be the most I have ever seen a pitcher throw in a game out here, because the manager / pitching coach usually gets the pitcher out of the game if it gets too ridiculous. 

    As for the attendance, probably about 20 of the 25 were early arrivals for the Savannah Bananas game who came over to Field # 1 to see what was going on, and once they saw all the bases on balls (12 walks by Cubs pitchers and four by Angels pitchers) they ran away screaming. I'm used to it so it didn't bother me that much.

    Jed has added Teheran, Tyranski, Kissaki, and now Straily and Nico Zeglin today.

    Zeglin is 24 yrs old. Pitched well at Long Beach St in '23 and well in some Indy Ball.

    They also added Reilly and Viets in late ST.

    Have to search for MiLB arm depth anywhere you can and at all times!!!

    25 in Attendance!!!

    Phil, is that a backfield record?

    Also, 6 BBs for Cruz in 2 IP. What's the most walks you've seen in one EXT ST outing that you can recall?

    He has a pulse. Apparently that’s the only requirement at this point.

    cubs sign dan straily...for some reason.  minor league deal.

    welcome back.

    zac rosscup is down in mexico trying to make it happen...maybe they could throw him a contract, too.  junior lake is his teammate.  shore up a bunch of holes with some washups.

    The great thing about going to live sports events is you don't know if you're going to see something historic. Today I went to the Cub game, after putting the liner back in my coat and fishing my Cubs knit hat out of the closet. I needed all that- my seats are in the upper deck, left, so the east wind was in my face. Both teams failed to capitalize on good situations, but both starters did a good job to accomplish this. So, we go to the bottom of the sixth inning. The Cubs tie it up, and then Pete Crow-Armstrong comes up. We all know he would still be in AAA if not for injuries, and future Hall-of-Famer Justin Verlander absolutely carved up the young fellow up in his first two plate appearances. So this time he hits a fly ball. The wind was blowing in and had suppressed several strong fly balls- including a rocket off Altuve's bat that Canario hauled in (does anybody else remind me of Jorge Soler?) , but the ball kept carrying and carrying. 107mph, legit angle and carry. The crowd went nuts, the dugout went nuts. Maybe, just maybe, I saw the first homer from a long-term Cub.

    Which was my original premise. They won the trades but lost their souls. They no longer employ the Cardinal way which had been so successful for so long.

    STL traded away a lot of minor league talent that went on to do nothing in the arenado + goldschmidt trades.  neither guy blocked any of their minor league talent in the pipeline, too.  that's ideal places to add talent.

    Natural cycle of baseball. Pitching makes adjustments in approach to counter a hot young rookie. Now it’s time for Busch and his coaches to counter those adjustments. Busch is very good and will figure it out, I think sooner than later.

    In 2020, the pandemic year and the year before they acquired Arenado, the Cardinals finished second and were a playoff team. Of the 12 batters with 100 plate appearances, 8 of them were home grown. Every member of the starting rotation (if you include Wainwright) and all but one of the significant relievers were home grown. While there have been a relative handful of very good trades interspersed which have been mentioned, player development had been their predominant pattern for decades - ever since I became an aware fan in the ‘70’s

    The Arenado deal was not a deal made out of dire need or desperation. It was a splashy, headline making deal for a perennial playoff team intended to be the one piece that brought the Cardinals from a very good team to a World Series contender. They have continued to wheel and deal and have been in a slide ever since. I stand by my supposition that that deal marked a notable turning point within the organization. They broke what had been a very successful formula for a very long time.
