re: Official Cubs Playoff Discussion Thread---NOT GAME THREAD convo only

Some facts about Javy's defense:

quote:

---

Of anybody who played even one inning at second base in the big leagues in 2016, Baez was responsible for 11 Defensive Runs Saved, tied for third and just one run behind Boston's Dustin Pedroia and Detroit's Ian Kinsler.

Here's the thing, though: Baez only played 383 innings at second in the regular season. Pedroia and Kinsler both played more than 1,292 innings. If you extrapolate out Baez's Defensive Runs Saved to 1,292 innings, he would've been at more than 37 DRS. That's insane.

For good measure, Baez also saved one run while playing 370.2 innings at third base and four runs while appearing at 194 innings at shortstop.

That's cool. I love the dead center camera, but it seemed super duper high for the NLDS

That angle was garbage

Also, in my mind Almora absolutely earned his spot for the NLCS. His defense, to me, appeared on par with Heyward, and he can actually hit the ball out of the infield.

Heyward's bunt tho

Probably had more exit velocity than any other contact he had in the series.

Could have been the first bunt for a base hit to land in the outfield.

Oh, Wrigley how I hope to see you soon

I have sat in section 220 which is midway up behind home plate the last few times I have been to Wrigley. Such a great view in those seats.

I'll be in the rooftops for the world series (fingers crossed) so that will be a lot different than what I am used to

I'm on the Waveland side between the foul pole and the new video board. View isn't obstructed. I have seen a few that are totally blocked now. Good luck to those people that bought tickets there

Eloy Jimenez hit a ball 119.4 mph today. Only four Giancarlo hits have been harder in MLB the last two years.
