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.

    While the Chapman trade helped to cement a championship I honestly think that trade was made in a different era. Nobody trades their best prospects for rentals anymore.

    The Quintana trade was a stinker from day one. It seemed to be a product of Theo’s unshakable faith in his 2016 “core” and the consistent and mistaken idea that they were always just one guy away from a return to WS glory. The mistake was repeated several times and I think that realization along with a general evolution in baseball thinking has helped to shape Jed and the way he operates today.

    I had mixed emotions when I heard of the trade, as I have with most trades that involve high potential prospects.  But that is because I hate to trade a high potential prospect for a veteran with only a few years control, and with a much lower potential than the prospects give away.  I hated the trade of Cease and Jiminez for Quinta, because I viewed Quintana as a decent, but not top pitcher, being traded for two very high-potential prospects.  I disliked the trade for Chapman, because a high-potential prospect was traded for a rental, although in this case, the fact that the rental was a top player greatly softened the blow.  The trade of Ferris and Hope for Busch seemed even at the time, to be a good one, even though they gave up one of my favorite prospects.  The return was a high-potential prospect with 6 years of control, at a time when he could be a difference maker on the team.

    13 games hardly proves that it was a good trade, but at least it was a reasonable one, no matter how it turns out.  So far, so good.

    i was strongly happy about the deal, but words can barely describe how quickly zyhir hope went from "interesting youngster" to "high end prospect" when he showed up in arizona post-draft.

    it may not have shown up in the team prospect numbered rankings, but the dodgers had their eyes on such a low level guy for a reason and the cubs knew what they gave up.

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    I have to disagree. They got not just A triple A stud but THE AAA stud of the entire PCL for a position player who hadn’t played above the AZL level and a pitcher who was rather mediocre in his first taste of pro ball at low A. I’m not saying the guys they traded haven’t shown great promise but they have a very long way to go and a whole lot to prove before they make the bigs. Especially since Busch filled a defined need (whether it had been at third or first) I take this trade any day of the week and don’t bother looking back.

    matt shaw (AA) has a .381/.552/.905 line through 7 games...3 homers and a triple.  6 games at 3rd, 1 game DH (5 PO, 7 A, 0 E).

    that's somewhat fun news.

  • crunch (view)

    i was blown away confused/pissed when it was announced the cubs were trading for y.almonte.

    i was thrilled when m.busch was announced as part of the trade.

    it's really weird to have the "you gotta take this payroll guy, too" (1.9m) part of the trade leak before the main piece.

    the cubs didn't get a deal given what they gave up, but i was very happy to have a guy like busch in the fold with so much club control.

    Have to admit I was initially disappointed the Cubs traded away the upside of Jackson Ferris but Busch is making a believer out of me.  If I still lived in midwest guessing we would have invented some drink special named a Busch Bomb at the local drinking establishment to celebrate his homers.

    per Tribune: Suzuki MRI results pending from yesterday so we should get a timetable for return later today.

  • crunch (view)

    suzuki says he injured his oblique running to 1st, not swinging.  okay.  it's gonna be that kind of 2024 cubs year, huh?

    i would say that's good news compared to screwing it up swinging, but i'm not familiar with the recovery time of people screwing up their oblique by running.

    right side is at least different from his left side oblique injury last year.
