1. Brian C Posted: April 30, 2012 at 10:54 AM (#4119663)Cubs season HR pace: 58
Bryan LaHair PA/game: 3.0
Soriano XBH/GIDP: 1/3
Out of fairness, I'll leave the Soto/Clevenger tracker off until Soto returns to the lineup. The LaHair tracker is inching towards retirement - it'll happen when he reaches eligibility for the batting title, i.e., 3.1 plate appearances per team game. He'll get there if he gets 6 plate appearances tonight (improbable), 11 plate appearances in the next two games (possible), or 12 in the next three (probable, if he plays).
W-L projection: 59-103
Pythag: 66-96
Castro: 10 SB/7 E (He leads majors in steals, and in errors by a SS)
In a related story, DeWitt is not looking very rangy in this game.
Volstad OPS against with runners on: .985
Bases Empty: .486
Obviously there's a selection bias whereas if runners are on, odds are the pitcher doesn't have as good of stuff, but here are his career #s.
Runners on: .818
Empty: .734
When I read that, what popped in my mind was Walk Hard-"The wrong kid died."
And one by Joe Mather!
