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

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.

    Things I've been wrong about:

    -Tauchman is fine as a 4th OF. I knew that. I just want a better LH DH option and he was really the DH for us until Seiya got hurt. I'm glad Mervis is getting a chance at it. Caissie is coming for that job for sure. But Tauchman continues to be highly useful as a 4th OF with Seiya being hurt

    -I wanted Yency to go to get guys at Iowa a chance. Guys like Palencia and Sanders or RileyT. Maybe even Hodge! But Yency has been better the last two plus weeks. He did hit 96 the other day. He was 93 in Texas to open the season.

    -Leiter has his split working enough. It just needs to stay there

    -I was surprised Jed picked Wisdom over Cooper. I wonder if this happens if Seiya wasn't hurt. Wisdom has more power. Cooper is the better hitter. Jed picked Wisdom and Wisdom had an option left as well.

    -Palencia just doesn't miss enough bats. Similar to ManRod, just two yrs younger. ManRod is killing AAA for TB right now!

    Things I got right so far:

    -Hendricks. Sorry Kyle. You got paid though!

    Jed, you missed there.

    -Smyly. If Jed could've traded him before or during ST, then he should have and saved some cash.

    -Mastro.  Not a LH DH. Pinch runner. Defensive utility. Maybe he's better than Madrigal but didn't get a legit chance to prove it.

    -Luke Little is good. He's had one bad outing. That's it. Needs to get better entering with guys on base. But he needs to stay in MLB.

    -Oh yeah....Morel is doing fine at 3B! He'll get better as well!!

    bellinger "right rib contusion"

  • Childersb3 (view)

    South Bend just lost the lead in the bottom of the 9th on the weirdest scenario, ever.

    It's absolutely pouring rain....men on 1st and 2nd, 1out....JPatterson asks for a new ball, but no time out was called....he throws the old ball toward the dugout (not sure if it rolled out of play).....the ump declares the runners get two bases each so one run scores. Then a single up the middle ties the game.

    The rain was coming down in buckets at this point.

    Just weird

  • crunch (view)

    ...and bellinger is gone in the 7th because of that 2nd blown chance and the wall he bounced off of...

    hopefully his rib cage/shoulder feels better tomorrow, we just got happ back.

    Phil,

    Any thoughts on Y. Rojas' stuff and Y. Melendez's game (I believe I've asked about him before, sorry)?

  • crunch (view)

    wow, things are moving fast.  hopefully it continues.

  • crunch (view)

    morel with 4 clean plays in 4 innings...showed off his 100000000mph arm a couple times.

    cody bellinger not having a good 4th, though...5 run leads are handy when your CF is making your pitcher have a 5-out inning.  2nd blown chance was ruled a hit even though it went in/out of his glove...1st was lost in the lights, also ruled a hit.

    welcome back happ!  double off the wall 1st PA back.

  • crunch (view)

    oh yeah, totally, i was just chiming about why i fan like i fan.

    i would like nothing more than hendricks to keep on hendricks'ing.  guys with his stuff can throw for a long, long time as long as it works.

    he velocity is actually up a minor amount this year.  it's really "damn" when a guy like him not only has gas in the tank, but it's looking like it was years ago.  he added a curve a few years ago and it helped a little bit, but he's throwing it less and less while the fb/change combo are less effective.

    CRUNCH—There is no one person in this community I’m talking about.  My remarks were not directed at you or anyone, but at a tone I’ve noticed lately. 

    You have a great, dry sense of humor and there is thought behind your comments.   You and I don’t always agree but I always understand your position.  

    Lastly, and I’ll be quiet, I agree with you on Hendricks.  We can dislike the recent performance but still love the guy.  Lots of questions about his future.
