Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
Cubs break their 6-game losing streak on the strength of Maholm's pitching and a 2-out, 4-run rally in the 2nd. In the minors, Iowa loses 12-7. Sappelt goes yard, Rizzo goes 2/5 with 3 RBI's, Jackson 2/5 with a double and a K. Coleman pitched well enough, 6 IP, 2 ER and 7 K but 4 BB's. The bullpen blew up though, Corpas and Beliveau giving up 9 runs in 2 innings. It got so bad that Blake Lalli and Alfredo Amezaga had to finish the game. Tennessee won 4-2, N. Struck with the win (5 IP, 1 ER, 3 BB, 5 K). Antigua with 3 scoreless innings out of the pen and Hatley with a scoreless inning for the save. Ha (3/4), Ridling (2/3), Wright (2/3) provided most of the offense. Daytona won 13-2, Jokisch gets the win (5.2 IP/2 ER/3 BB/2 K). 5 doubles, 1 triple and a home run (Nelson Perez) were part of the offensive explosion. Peoria lost 2-1, but can't blame starting pitcher Michael Jensen who went 7 IP, 2 unearned runs, 1 BB, and 6 K.

Arizona Phil can of course explain this better, but Wells takes the roster spot of Marlon Byrd for today and I believe Michael Bowden is in some sort of outright waiver limbo that should be taken care of shortly. Bowden is out of options.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
I don't disagree with the philosophy at all, but for consistency's sake they better send Campana and his < 300 AAA AB's back down, then.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
Campana could be useful as a league minimum player if he didn't strike out so much.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
For Randy Wells at Wrigley during the day, it's downright masterful.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
Hell if I know, but his 2009-11 day/night ERA splits are 4.65/3.39. Some people just aren't "morning" people.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
That's not particularly dramatic. A lot of hitters say they prefer to hit during the day because they can see better anyway.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
League-average, probably not a huge difference.
Again, I'm not saying Wells is a lush, just that he actually does perform notably better at night.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
from the scuttlebutt here in chicago, he was farnsworthian partier
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
reds try to give the cubs two outs, cubs politely refuse
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
The more things change the more they stay the same. Cubs went into today 26th in BB drawn and 5th in BB given up. Today's game only increases the spread.
By the way, could Soriano be more of a void in the middle of the line-up?
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
Why does Sveum think that LaHair is a hitter that you double-switch out of the lineup? Lately he's the most productive hitter on the team and it's entirely possible he could end up leading the team in OPS. Campana, DeWitt, and Soriano are your double-switch guys today, Sveum. Now you don't have your best power hitter for the rest of this game that you are losing, and instead you have Mather in there batting behind guys who couldn't buy their way on base lately and the pitcher's spot following the top of your lineup.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
looks like the cubs might need a bird/noise cannon for the OF as the season drags on.
there's about 2-3 dozen birds sitting in the OF waiting for that giant piece of popcorn the pitcher keeps throwing to the crouching dude.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
Walmart BB gun day. First 10,000 fans get a long range BB gun rifle.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
they better do it while they can still get 10K into the park.
im actually kinda surprised they're still putting 30K in the park for games.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
im actually kinda surprised they're still putting 30K in the park for games.
that stat is tickets sold when they announce attendance around the 8th inning.
I was there friday and sunday (ouch, nothing like two losing games of mid 40's baseball with the wind blowing in from LF). Didn't go saturday, needed a day to thaw out.
Headcount of fans in the stands was closer to 18-20K max.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
From what little I saw of today's game, there were lots of empty seats, and it was middle innings.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
Ted Williams took care of pigeons in the OF at Fenway with a shotgun. Different time.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
16 games into the season...8 games out of .500...tied for last in all of MLB with SD.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
...and SD wins giving the cubs sole control of last place.
that's not as much of a big deal to me this early compared to the 8 games out of .500, though...ow.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
Lefty Chris Rusin pitched 8 innings of 2 hit, no walk (4K) baseball and the I-Cubs beat the Memphis Redbirds 2-1 in Iowa. Broke a 5 game losing streak.
Rizzo 1-3, a run scored and a walk
WCastillo 1-4 and a rbi
Cardenas, 2-2 and a walk
BJax 0-4, now down to .239. He's leading off now that Campana is up.
My AHA moment...
Well, none of you told me that HoyStein's Big Picture Plan is to have the team finish dead last so that we can get the #1 draft choice in 2013.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
Well they did say that this year the plan was to "field a team that will compete (for the number 1 draft pick)".
the last part was a fill in the blank.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
Allowing the most runs in the NL is a pretty quick recipe for losing. Only BOS and MIN have allowed more.
Hard to believe, but this team is actually 9th in the NL in runs scored so far.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
This looks like a below-average lineup, but not a piss-pour lineup (unless Stewart and LaHair become useless or something along those lines). It's the rotation and a few bullpen arms that have the potential to move the team out of the cellar or way down into it.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
So far I'm not very impressed with them. It's awfully early to judge the front office, but I don't like giving up on a season so early, and I have definitely done that. I realize they were given a pretty horrific situation, but they also haven't made any trades that have opened my eyes. The things that are going wrong are already starting to pile up:
Travis Wood for Marshall looks like a dud, so now the success of the trade looks to be depending on how Torreyes pans out. They appeared to be favorites to land Cespedes, but lost him to a small market team that may not even be in that small market in a few years. It doesn't matter to me why they lost him, just that they did. He's doing pretty well so far in Oakland - we'll see how a second trip around the league treats him, though. Crunch looks to be spot on with Ian Stewart. The guy really just doesn't seem to be a very good hitter at all, although he is a pretty slick fielder. I can't tell about Sveum yet, but he's inconsistent with his "performance" claim, leaving Soriano in the middle of the lineup, leaving Soto in for Clevenger and his daily doubles.
I tend to agree with them that there is no real reason to bring up Jackson and/or Rizzo right now, but partly that's because this team is so God Awful that there simply is no point. They'll have no impact.
It would be fair to ask what I expected from these guys, given the circumstances. I guess I would say at least a decent trade, since you can't do much with the minors yet but wait. Landing a decent free agent would have been nice, too. These are the things they're paid to do. This is a big market team with a nearly furious fan base. There's a real call to action here. I don't really sense any urgency on their part.
A lot of this is my frustration at knowing I've got yet another year of watching bad baseball. Or, not watching it, actually, in my case. As I get older in life, I find myself turning into a bit of a fair weather fan. I've really got better things to do that watch a crappy product on the field. I don't sit around the house watching B movies, and I don't sit around watching minor league teams disguised as major league ones.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
I was going to tell you, "Wait O & B! Their starting pitching has been very good. If they could only hit!"
Then I looked it up.
14/16 in the NL, 4.74 Team ERA
"Well, what about fielding, then? With the Cubs Way, surely they are helping the pitchers out, right?"
Next to last in the NL with 16 errors (last today is a tie with the two NL Sans' - Diego/Francisco)
Just a big pile of shit. And, selfishly, I would like to look forward to seeing SOMETHING at Wrigley when I go other than Joe Mather, Chris Volstad, Soriass, and company. I would like to see some of the prospects and not have to go to Des Moines to do it.
Hey, I owned Bulls tickets when Jalen Rose and Eddy Curry were on the team so I know things can get better.
But this is really going to be the longest Cubs year I have experienced since 2002.
But then again, they all run together after a while.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
I haven't watched this team in years and I can say it makes your life much better than getting angry over it. I still think the long term future for this team is better than under Hendry and Lou though. We got pretty good starting pitching #1-3. A star SS. A 1B hitting everything that will bring us some possibly quite useful piece. A possible star 1B in Rizzo and a possible really good OFer in Jackson. We have some pretty good catchers it seems waiting to take over for Soto once we can trade him. Vitters might not be the star people were hoping for him but he should still hit well and with Rizzo and Castro might not have to be a star.
Overall it seems we're gonna have a very good top half of the lineup top part of the rotation. Relief pitching is bad but generally seems to be something you just can't spend money on to be successful with. This year might suck if you have any hopes for competition but for me I'm enjoying seem some players do well, seeing a consistent system put in place bottom to top and having some hope that with the team being built on young players if Castro, Rizzo and Jackson all do pan out we could be a very good team for a long time.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
Ha, I gave up on being angry about the Cubs during my inauguration year, 1969.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
I think you're giving up on Stewart a little early. His numbers are ugly, but I actually think he's looked decent at the plate. He's not a candidate to turn into a star or anything, but he's looked in control and like he can hit the ball. His numbers, granted, don't show it yet, as his slash line is hideous.
When I say that his BABIP has been low, nay-sayers are likely to point to his BABIP last year and call it a trend instead of bad luck. Certainly, his BABIP last year (.224) was even worse than it has been so far this year (.244). But both are way below his career average (.295).
And when we talk about BABIP, we should also take his type of contact into account. In 2011 he had a horrendous line drive rate of just 11.9%. If you hit that few line drives, you'd better jack a lot of fly balls out of the park. In 2011, he definitely didn't. 0% HR/FB (no homeruns). In 2012 Stewart has a much, much healthier line drive rate of 22%. With one HR, his HR/FB is a mere 6.7% (for comparison, Blake DeWitt's percentage in 2011 was 6.8%).
Meanwhile, his K% and BB% have been pretty consistent throughout his career.
So, it seems to me that as the season progresses if we want to draw conclusions about whether Stewart is returning to the player he once was or whether he's staying closer to what he was in 2011, we need to pay attention to the following things in addition to his slash line and his HR total: Is his line drive % closer to 10 or 20 (or over 20)? When he hits a fly ball, is it leaving the park 10-15% of the time, or is it leaving the park 0-5% of the time?
Everything else has been pretty consistent for Stewart in his career. I suspect the power is going to take a little bit longer to come back, if he is on the way to returning to his career averages, due to that wrist injury. If he comes all the way back, you might have a guy who can play decent defense at third, pop 20-25 HRs a season, and walk enough to get on base about 32% of the time or so. We might even expect him to improve on that, a bit, since he's in the prime of his career right now at age 27.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
I haven't seen him as much as you, I think, and I trust your judgement based on your posts. Right now his LD% rate is at 22%, about the only decent number I could find. I like his fielding enough to be patient and hope the rest will come.
Overall I'm trying to be optimistic, but this season looks like toast already, and it's awfully early to be saying that. We knew it was toast before it began, of course. I was just hoping for .500 mediocrity for awhile to make things interesting, not .300 pukeage.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
Oh, the season is toast. I've come to terms with that already, I think. I'm watching for the future now (which isn't necessarily making the experience more pleasant in the early going).
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
why not give up on him early when he swings a bat like he does?
as some know...i would be impressed if he hit .250/.330 avg/ob% with 15 homers...that's the best i think he's capable of and i doubt he'll do it.
crap contact on a rigid swing.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
Crunch, that's pretty much what I'm saying we might expect from him if his line drive rate and home run rates get back close to his career averages.
It's April 23 and he seems to be hitting the ball at people, as Rob said.
I haven't heard anyone claim he's going to be an all-star. I'm guessing your describe what he did last season as "crap contact." His contact this season, so far, has been fine.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
a guy with an uppercut swing like his not elevating the ball...that should say enough.
to me, he's a pure mistake hitter at this point in his career. a guy that swings with his power and his stroke should be able to square up the ball more than he's getting under/on top of it. part of that problem has to do with how little he can move/adjust his bat once he starts his swing.
he's hitting a lot of really hard line drives and hard grounders that should be elevated a lot more with his kind of swing.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
That is correct.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
Free LaHair!
LaHair aside - and it's not like it would do a ton to help - but this is just one of the worst lineups I've seen in quite some time.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
You know, I don't know if LaHair is going to be some great shakes, but with his numbers, especially compared to Baker's, at least let him play until his numbers come down. It's asinine to keep him on the bench with the kind of hitting this team has, even if he has had 5 strikeouts in 6 PAs against lefties.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto

My guess he'll be a Yankee soon, Jim Hendry has been scouring the rosters for someone just like him. Now he can get the original.
on another front...
BJax 2-4, no strikeouts
Rizzo 2-3, double and a walk
Iowa and JJax loses 6-2.

Not sure I agree with this logic. The Cubs are one of the best teams in baseball, they have spent heavily on the team over the past couple of seasons, have more hitting prospects than they have places for them to play (and more on the way), a clear weakness in the bullpen, and have a 1.5 year window with Arrieta (to say nothing of the likely declines of Lester and Lackey).
Unless you think (maybe even if you do think) Schwarber is the next coming of Babe Ruth, I would certainly consider trading him if it brought back a couple of the best relief pitchers in baseball.
Miggy was going to sit anyway with Lester starting.
In related news, do any of the Cubs pitchers want to throw to Contreras?
Only Russell and Miggy failed to reach base yesterday. Both sit today.
Trading Schwarber actually makes a lot of sense because his actual position is currently being taken by Anthony Rizzo, unless they vote in the DH this offseason.
Trading him for a reliever is never going to happen though. I don't think you can trade Schwarber unless you get a CF'er for a few years (presume Fowler finds his multi-year deal next offseson) or a couple of high end young starters...or an established starter...a good one like Chris Sale.
I don't see what the Yanks have that the Cubs need.
peter gammons on MLB network pushing the yanks/schwarber angle...says insiders from the yanks say brian cashman highly covets him.
unless that conversation starts with a.miller (2/18m left on contract) i dunno how you even start that conversation given the "not trash, but no stars" state of the yanks minor league system.
they got corner OF'r aaron judge, C gary sanchez, RHP james kaprielian's questionable elbow, RHP domingo acevedo...all interesting, none expected to impact the game like schwarber's power potential.
Zo, Heyward, KB, Riz, Contreras (LF), Baez (SS), Szczur (CF), Ross, Lester
damn. low sample size blah blah whatever, but that slash got sneaky good. 10 hits, 4 walks, 2hr, 1 double through 39 PA...nice
Buddy Ryan takes his place alongside George Allen as the great Bear head coaches who never were.
Well, at least he can still hit: Jake slashing .294/.368/.868. Forget hitting 8th -- he should hit 6th.
Curious to see today's lineup vs. a LHP: Ross needs to catch Lester, Joe likes Javy at 3B when Lester pitches. Heyward with back-to-back good games at the plate, and is actually hitting a little better against LHP (.247/.341) than RHP (.232/.321), although neither is much to write home about. But, tomorrow is an early day game, so some regulars will probably sit either today or tomorrow.
Maybe Willson in LF, KB in RF and Almora in CF? If so, Albert Jr., assume every ball is yours.
"Pitching prospects not looking so hot"
That reminds me that Lucas Giolito will start for the Nats tonight.
Well, there you go. Federowicz is one of the best at balls in the dirt.
Reds pitching meeting tomorrow:
"Hey coach...maybe we should walk Bryant?"
"No...keep challenging him with fastballs! What kind of man are you?! The Cubs walked Harper, and look what happened there! They got teased for it, by one of the Nat players! Is that what you want?"
How can I get that feature? I think it woudl be a win-win for all involved.
Ian Happ is hitting.733 after 5 games at Tennessee. He went into tonight's game hitting .667 -- and went 3-for-3 to raise his average.
2-for-3, including a bomb, for LaStella at Iowa. Pierce Johnson very bad -- 2IP, 5ER. Pitching prospects not looking so hot -- Underwood has been awful.
Did Jiminez get hurt? I noticed he came out early yesterday.

Why are hundreds of healthy and happy children like these being branded OBESE by the NHS?
They're happy and healthy - but to the fury of their parents, the NHS insists they're dangerously fat...
Extreme measures: At 2st 12lb, Logan, aged four, is a mere three pounds outside the recommended weight range but he was still told he's obese
To all outward appearances Logan Knowles is a healthy, active little boy. The football-mad four-year-old loves nothing more than kicking a ball about in the garden after school, and if he's not practising his goal-scoring skills then he's usually to be found tearing around on his bike.
So imagine his mother Stefanie's shock — and outrage — when in January this year she received a letter from the NHS saying her son was 'clinically obese' and warning that he was at risk of heart disease, cancer and diabetes.
'I was absolutely furious — there's nothing of him,' Stefanie says. 'If anything, he is skinny for his age. He still wears clothing labelled for a three-year-old, although he is nearly five. There's not an extra ounce of fat on his body — sometimes you can see his ribs.'
The letter arrived after Logan was weighed at school as part of the controversial National Child Measurement Programme, which started in 2005 and assesses the heights and weights of children in their first and last years of primary school.
As a result, hundreds of ordinary-looking children, like Logan, have received letters informing them they are overweight or obese, an often distressing experience for both child and parents.
Logan is 3ft 3in tall, and at 2st 12lb is a mere three pounds outside the recommended weight range for his peers. But at such a young age, that tiny difference makes an immense difference to his BMI, putting him on the 99th centile.
For adults, BMI is measured by dividing weight in kilograms by height in metres squared. But the calculation for children is different. It begins the same way, but the result is then compared with others of the same age and sex to calculate the child's 'centile' — or position relative to others on a scale of one to 100.
Between 91 and 97 is classed as overweight, and any child who scores 98 and above is branded clinically obese.
No other factors are taken into account, not least because the letters informing parents of their child's obesity are often generated by a computer which studies the data.
While no one is suggesting the Government shouldn't take measures to tackle the childhood obesity crisis, there are many who view the system as misguided and flawed.
Under fire: Stefanie felt like she was being criticised as a parent when she received a letter saying her son was overweight
As Tam Fry, Trustee of the National Obesity Forum and Honorary Chairman of the Child Growth Foundation, explains: 'These letters do not take into account the build of the child and its heritage. That is the major problem. A child can have a high BMI, but be absolutely normal if they come from a tall, well-built family.'
'Sometimes a computer will inappropriately trigger a letter saying your child is overweight and will die, or some such nonsense. It's unbelievably bad medicine and in many cases hugely insulting to parents who are probably extremely fit and making sure their child is brought up properly.'
Stefanie, 29, a part-time administrative assistant from Walsall in the West Midlands, certainly felt her parenting skills were under fire. She says she wasn't even informed that Logan was being weighed at school, and the letter was the first she knew of it.
'As a parent, I know what's best for my child. It angers me beyond belief that these people don't realise the detrimental effect they are having'
'I phoned the woman from the NHS trust who had sent it to tell her how ridiculous it was and she started quizzing me on his diet and exercise,' Stefanie says. 'It felt like there was some kind of ulterior motive — as if she was questioning my parenting skills. Whatever happened to common sense? Anyone who looks at Logan can see that he's fine.'
Stefanie, who lives with her partner Luke, 33, a flood technician, and also has two older daughters, aged 11 and ten, says labelling children when they are still growing is dangerous.
'Sydanie, my ten-year-old, was weighed at the same time and was at the other end of the spectrum. She came home saying she was the thinnest in her class and it seems that they were told their weights in front of everyone. Children shouldn't be preoccupied with these things.'
Unfortunately, despite her best efforts to protect him, Logan became aware of the fact that he had been branded obese after his older sister revealed what had been in the letter. It had a profound effect on the boy.
'For weeks afterwards, his eating became very laboured,' Stefanie explains. 'He just went into himself and didn't eat as much as usual. He will normally try new things — which is actually very unusual in a young child — but he became much more cautious.
'The woman who had sent the letter followed it up with an email about after-school activity clubs. Logan doesn't need that — he's for ever running around with his older sisters. I completely ignored the advice I was given by the NHS and thankfully Logan is back to normal and eating well again.
'As a parent, I know what's best for my child. It angers me beyond belief that these people don't realise the detrimental effect they are having. BMI is a ridiculous marker for children — I don't know why health officials can't understand that.'
Libbie Boardman, too, started eschewing food after a similar weigh-in found her to be borderline obese.
Sporty: Libbie, age seven, weighs 5st 5lb and does gynmastics and table tennis so her mother, Louise, pictured with her left, was appalled when she was told she's obese
At seven, she is 4ft 2in tall and weighs 5st 5lb, putting her on the 97th centile. As Libbie, who comes from Greater Manchester, is a budding gymnast and table-tennis player who loves playground games with her friends, her mother, Louise, was appalled after she and her husband received the news in a letter in December last year.
'We were very shocked to see that she was considered in that way,' says Louise, a 34-year-old office manager. 'She's very active and gets a lot of fresh air playing outside with her friends. She also eats a healthy, balanced diet.'
Louise, who is married to Paul, 43, a window cleaner, and has another daughter, Sophie, 14, adds. 'We took Libbie to the GP, who said that the numbers were right but that there was nothing to worry about because Libbie was perfectly healthy. But the whole thing meant we had to discuss with her what was going on — she's very inquisitive and needs answers.'
Mr Boardman, 43, adds: 'Afterwards, Libbie started saying things like she didn't want any tea. I told her she was being silly. She never has junk food, just the odd treat now and again. She's also very active — what I'd describe as the rough-and-tumble type.'
Not surprisingly, the Boardmans haven't weighed Libbie since receiving the letter from the NHS. 'One look at her tells you she's healthy,' Louise says. 'I don't want her to start focusing on her weight.
'I was angry because they didn't treat my child as an individual, but just as a set of numbers on a piece of paper.
'It's more than just the height and the weight; they should look at the build of the child. Libbie was a big baby — not fat, just big — and has stayed at the upper end of the scale ever since.
'We live in a world where there is such a huge emphasis put on diet and weight. It's really damaging for little girls and it now starts when they are toddlers'
'I do think this will fuel anxiety over body image. It gets children thinking about the way they look at far too young an age. They should have the same kind of innocent upbringing we did.'
Child experts are already concerned about the negative effect anti-obesity messages can have on impressionable children.
Chris Calland, a former secondary school teacher turned educational consultant, who recently set up a body-image course for primary school-age children, says: 'Some children have absorbed the anti-obesity message to such an extent that they dread gaining weight.
'I've spoken to parents who say their children have become obsessive after learning about obesity as an issue at school — and the research shows even young children identify being fat with being unintelligent, lazy and smelly — something, in other words, to avoid at any price.'
And many parents, like those of six-year-old Kian Johnson, argue the figures are little more than useless in any case, because when it's followed up with health professionals they are told there is nothing to worry about.
Kian, from Colchester, Essex, was branded clinically obese after he was found to be on the 98th percentile last year. Aged five at the time of his assessment, he was 3ft 8in tall and weighed 3st 11lb.
His mother, Emma, 29, says: 'It was such a shock. We were worried that we'd had done something wrong. You always try to do the best for your children, so it's very upsetting to have something like that come through the letterbox.'
The letter, from their local healthcare provider, said that doctors would describe Kian as 'clinically obese', meaning he was more likely to get diabetes, or suffer from low self-confidence.
Shock: Kian Johnson, with his mum Emma, left, weighs 3st 11lb but was told he has an obesity problem
Emma says: 'He's a robust boy, who loves being active and playing in the garden. And he eats a really healthy, balanced diet. His favourite foods are strawberries and tomatoes.'
Stay-at home mum Emma, along with husband Paul, 43, a DJ, decided to visit their local Primary Care Trust in person to discuss Kian's supposed obesity problem.
'They told us not to worry,' says Emma, 'And that he was actually fine. If that's the case, I don't understand why they'd send us something like that in the first place? They should apologise in writing.'
Wanting to protect their son from the findings, the Johnsons haven't weighed Kian since last year, and there's an argument that if the letters cause parents to disengage, then the process is failing again.
But there are some experts who feel that the current system is a valid and sensible one.
Paul Gately, professor of exercise and obesity at Leeds Metropolitan University, says: 'From a scientific perspective, BMI is a good tool and one that is unlikely to identify children who are not overweight.
'In fact, I would say it is more likely to underestimate children — it's still relatively conservative.
'We often hear examples of the English rugby team or sports people with high BMIs, and that's true, but children are not professional athletes. It's a way of hammering BMI when it's actually completely out of context of the lives of the children that we talk about.
Nearly a quarter of children are
overweight or obese by the time they start primary school, NHS statistics suggest
'It is absolutely critical that if a child or a parent or a doctor or a school is to take action, it must have hard data that gives an accurate picture. The National Child Measurement Programme is arguably the best population measurement system across the globe.'
However, even Professor Gately admits the system is not perfect and says improvements are needed — both in the way that parents are notified and also how a child is followed up.
'We are far too sensitive about this as an issue,' he adds. 'There are lots of parents out there who see these letters as them being told they are a bad parent. But this is merely an objective measure — no different to a child's maths result in a test — the tone of how it's conveyed is critical. What is also critical is what then happens to these children.'
It's perhaps the only issue upon which he and Tam Fry agree, as Tam says: 'It's disgraceful parents should be getting these letters about their child without anyone having seen the child to see if it is appropriate.
Active little girl: Esme, age two, weighs 2st and was told she was obsese when she was taken by her mum. Charlene, left, to a routine check up with her GP
'They may well panic about their child's weight, which might be quite inappropriate.
'All of this could have been avoided by the Department of Health thinking seriously about what the letter is saying. It's totally inappropriate.'
Esme Pearman's experience illustrates not only that labelling can start even before a child reaches school age, but also the difference between receiving a letter and finding out from a health professional.
Aged two, her mother Charlene recently took her to their GP's surgery for a routine health check, only to be told that she, too, was clinically obese. She is 2ft 1in tall and weighs 2st.
Charlene, 27, from Chelmsford, Essex, says: 'The doctor weighed and measured her. She was on the seventh centile for height but the seventy-fifth for weight, which made her technically obese. I was really surprised because she is such an active little girl.
'She's also intolerant to dairy, which eliminates a lot of processed foods — they would make her ill. She has three meals a day and a couple of healthy snacks.'
In fact, since she could see the evidence before her eyes, Charlene's health worker ultimately concluded that Esme was fine. 'She said she looked so healthy that they weren't worried about her despite the result,' Charlene explains.
'But why should I be told that she is technically obese? This kind of labelling can definitely cause anxiety for parents.
'I dread to think how I would have felt if I had received that information in a letter when no one had looked at Esme and seen that she is perfectly all right.'
Stay-at-home mother Charlene, who is married to IT engineer Robert and also has a three-year-old daughter, Stella, says: 'We live in a world where there is such a huge emphasis put on diet and weight. It's really damaging for little girls and it now starts when they are toddlers.
'I struggle with my own body image and that's not something I want to pass on to my children.'
There are many parents who would wholeheartedly agree with her sentiments.

Paris Hilton Paints and Cleans Hollywood for Community Service
Paris Hilton has been busy painting and cleaning the streets of Hollywood as part of her community service sentence. The socialite has been ordered to volunteer 200 hours of her time as part of a plea deal stemming from her drug arrest in August this year.
She was charged with felony drug possession after cops saw a small bag of cocaine fall out of her purse during a Las Vegas trip. Hilton attracted a swarm of paparazzi as she joined a group called the Hollywood Beautification Team on Friday, November 19 to paint over graffiti marks on buildings in the downtown area.
Beside the community service, Paris Hilton was also sentenced to one year probation, $2,000 fine and ordered to complete a drug abuse program following the cocaine possession case.

Sony Reader Daily Edition ebook goes 3G
Sony might have already launched two ebook readers at the beginning of August, but that hasn't stopped the company launching yet another new model as the battle for the ebook market heats up.
The new reader is called the Daily Edition Reader, is priced at $399.99 and will offer a 7-inch touchscreen display and come with built-in 3G connectivity to be able to download books on the go.
Housed in an aluminum casing, the screen will be able to display 30-35 lines of text in portrait mode, while the screen will offer 16 levels of greyscale. It's internal memory will hold more than 1000 ebooks although will come with a memory slot to expand further.
"We are not just one device for one store, but multiple devices for multiple stores", said Steve Haber, president of the digital reading business division at Sony.
In connection with the new reader, Sony has announced the "library finder" that will allow you to download library books in the US directly to any Sony Reader device without having to worry about late fees.
"In 10 years time kids will ask why we read books," commented Haber before confirming that the company is working with newspapers and magazines to have "Daily editions" available for when the new reader launches in the US in December.
The agreement will include content from New York's Public Library for free.
Haber told Pocket-lint that it was not announcing the product in the UK at this time, however Sony has announced the he Reader Pocket Edition and the Reader Touch Edition for the UK on Tuesday.
We will keep you posted.

Moo is a UK-based printing service who may be best known for their tiny rectangular-shaped "Moo cards". But they also print a variety of other material as well, including business cards, and they've just started offering rounded corners. Combined with the ability to print a different image on every single card in the pack with no additional charge or to choose from one of their extremely stylish pre-made designs, this is looking like a pretty sweet deal at only $25.99 (it's $21.99 for regular corners) for 50 cards -- and they have free shipping on orders that include cards with rounded corners with the discount code GETAROUND! (includes the exclamation point). VistaPrint, who offer 250 full-color business cards, "free!" And the deal is real, as long as you don't mind using one of their designs, which includes a tiny url on the other side of the card. The paper isn't quite what we'd consider standard business card stock, but it's better than what you could get out of your home printer, and you can't argue with the price. The best quick and dirty option, for sure, but sometimes that's exactly what you need. OvernightPrints is our favorite bulk printer, and they offer a solid variety of options for any type of printing job you need. We've ordered prints, pre-folded cards and yes, even business cards from them, and have been very satisfied with the weight of the paper, the gloss and matte options, and the quality of their service. They also do, as the name suggests, some very fast turnaround times. Right now have a deal on now that offers 500 basic business cards for $9.95, with rounded edges for $2 per hundred.

Letter: In the eyes of unions: Class warfare being waged by CEOs rewarding themselves
Rick Bowmer, Associated Press
When Hostess recently filed for bankruptcy, anti-union folks, like Eric Green, rushed to blame unions and their lack of foresight for the company's destruction ("State of dis-union," Nov. 23). However, let's look at the recent history of Hostess and look through the eyes of union workers before passing judgment.
Since 2002, Hostess had six chief executive officers. Each received huge bonuses and rewards for driving the company further into the ground. The latest CEO is seeing a 300 percent pay increase. For what? Destroying the company? How about a swift kick in the pants instead?
Another CEO released a memo congratulating workers on "the best quarter in the history of the company," while simultaneously selling his own stock before it leaked out that Hostess was actually in financial ruin. One union worker earned $48,000 in 2005, sacrificed to $34,000 last year. The latest proposal was to cut his wages to $25,000 while doubling insurance premiums.
I ask people like Eric, are you seeing the big picture? Are Americans recognizing the class warfare being waged by CEOs ("job creators") rewarding themselves for their own incompetence while using the workers, who are already sacrificing, as their scapegoats?
ENRON, big banks and now Hostess. When will we learn?

Three top macro funds have one thing in common with each other and not with their peers: They're making money, consistently, this year.
Macro funds run by Autonomy Capital Research, BTG Pactual and Pivot Capital Management have all defied the difficult macro environment. And all did it in different ways.
BTG Pactual's Global Emerging Markets & Macro Fund is up 17% this year through August, Bloomberg News reports. The US$3 billion fund, which returned just 3.4% last year, profited from its bets on emerging-market interest rates and U.S. mortgage securities.
Autonomy's US$2.8 million Global Macro Fund has earned its 10% in the first eight months of the year in Latin America, betting on rates in that region. The Autonomy fund rose 14% last year.
Finally, Monaco-based Pivot Capital Management's US$1.7 billion macro fund has followed up its 17% return last year with a 6% return through August this year. Pivot's big wins came in Australia, where it bet on lower rates.

Stadium Reduces Food Waste, Carbon Pollution
AT&T Stadium, along with the EPA, the city of Dallas, nonprofit Rock and Wrap It Up! and Food Source DFW diverted 2,800 pounds of leftover food from landfills during the NCAA Final Four activities in North Texas.
The organizations prevented food waste by delivering the food to local homeless shelters.
Diverting food waste from landfills also reduces the generation of harmful greenhouse gas emissions. When food is disposed of in a landfill, it decomposes rapidly and becomes a significant source of methane.
After paper, food waste comprises the greatest volume of waste going into US landfills, the EPA says. In 2012, 36 million tons of food waste were generated, but only 3 percent of this waste stream was diverted from landfills.
The EPA's Food Recovery Challenge seeks to reduce the environmental impact of food and other widely-used everyday items through their entire life cycle, including how they are extracted, manufactured, distributed, used, reused, recycled and disposed. Last week nine additional colleges joined the Food Recovery Challenge, whose some 713 participants including Whole Foods, MGM Resorts and the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team.
