I dunno - you can't blame the manager for everything bad that happens on the field...but I think you have a point in this case. Giving half of Prior's WE to Dusty puts Prior at -0.113 (13%) and puts Dusty at -0.13 (14%) - still below Gonzalez and Farnsworth.
Gonzalez For Goat?
Uh, yeah? The guy that booted the routine grounder that would have severely limited if not completely ended the inning? Yeah, that guy for goat.
It's good when analysis supports conventional wisdom. (Note, conventional wisdom does not equate with "what the Cubs fans and media are yabbering ignorantly about.)
Make the routine defensive play and the Cubs are waiting for an AL opponent.
And by the way, great work T.
