      I love how the analysis basically was “Well, someone has to play QB, and Ponder played 3 years so he has experience”

Pythag isn’t that great a way to look at teams right now, but we have to know something by looking at it. So I’m going to try to figure it out.

Babip explains why Pena, Soto, Colvin, Kosuke, Barney, Baker and Garza, and possibly even Castro are all performing way better or worse than expected. Bascially, with the exception of Castro and Ramirez, all the good hitters have been bad so far and all the bad hitters have been good thanks to crazy Babips.

      But I don’t understand what the fuck’s going on with Dempster. Or Z. At least Cash and Wells made themselves easy to analyze by just getting injured.

      For sure. With Pelini, I’m always pretty confident in the defense.

      I can’t wait to see how Beck runs the offense. I’m sure Martinez will get the ball to start, but I hope to see them mix it up a bit.

      it will be much more multiple than the last 2 years, for sure, and you can’t base the offense on 1 player like Martinez was last season. He’s not durable. From what I’ve read and saw in the spring game, we’ll see a bunch of stuff, and they’re going no huddle, up tempo.

      Yeah, Sharkie Boy can stay now. As long as he’s pitching well, let’s see if they can stretch him out to cover for 4 starters.

      I should’ve realized that earlier, but I planned on watching the cubs. we saw how that turned out. I don’t like watching the draft, just been tracking it.

      I wasn’t telling you to go over there to talk about the draft, HG. Just wanted to make sure you knew that. I was just giving you the link to let you know that someone set up a thread for it. I haven’t checked it so I have no idea if there’s anyone talking about the draft there or not. It’s just not something I care about. I’ll read about where some of the Hawkeyes were picked tomorrow.

      Oh I know, and it’s quite busy over there. I wasn’t really interested in talking too in-depth.
