Remember when we all used to sit around the fire, and read the Farmer"s Almanac by candlelight?
Each section was headed, as I dimly recall, by a phrase of inspiration or wisdom.
For today's game, I return to page 33, which had to do with " outcomes."
Fill in the blank:
"A bird in the hand is worth 
in the bush."
My version of the Almanac re-works the nouns and goes something like this;
" A hand in the bush is worth two 
.
Just keep your thinking caps on, and tell me if you agree.
We can win today with that as our mantra.

A Bird on the Bench is worth two in the field.

A bird on the DL is par for the course.
Strange but true: McCutchen is hitting .237. Gardner is hitting .237. Cutch has a better OBP by 100 pct points -- @ .425.
McCutchen = 15 strike-outs in 59 ABs. Gardner = 102 in 506 ABs. McCutchen's SO rate is higher (25 pct vs. 20 pct).
BUT: If it looks like there is a freaking disease on this team, here are McCutchen's numbers from SF: 123K in 482ABs.
Jeeeeeez!
Tentative conclusion: If they are gonna keep Judge and Stanton (which seems extremely likely), perhaps they might get rid of both of these strike-out artists....
Joe FOB,
I seem to recall that he's been an on base machine of late and the bad #s were more of an adjustment thing. Wait, (like I am doing this in real time.) I will check
Last seven days .261/.393/.478 .871 OPS
Last Fifteen days .302/483/.651 1.134 OPS
So not too shabby and the reason why he starts over Gardner.
Doug K.
Kinda made me miss good ole Homer Bush.
Good point, Doug K.
I still think we should sign Harper, and have Hicks as the 4th outfielder. But McCutcheon as a 4th OF could work out.
Gardner, sadly, must go.
That's just nasty.
