One of these years we'll have a good bullpen.

 

Yeah this Ramirez guy and his 1.26 ERA sucks.

His velocity is down considerably hopefully just due to the time off or something.

OK?

Just seemed like a weird time to make the comment. Especially given that our bullpen has been average to above average by most measures for the season (9th in FIP, 16th in xFIP)

[mul21]

hahaha ruggiano with the 80's stache

 

I like Rizzo's old school eye black.

[Schwarber Fan]

Man, there have been a lot of fly balls in this game.

Jaxon pinch runner

Jaxon pinch runner

 

I bet he finds a way to allow the Rays to score a run while on the bases.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Javy's going to hit a walk-off homer. All will be right in Cubbie Land.

Someone who watches the Cubs more than me: how has Alcantara looked recently? I see his average has dipped below .230. Is he having good ABs?

[UMFan83]

Really good defensively, making a reasonable amount of contact. .288 BABIP is probably a smidge low for his skill set.

 

But he's not going to hit for huge average. He's going to draw walks, hit for average power, run the bases well, and play good defense.

seems to be some debate as to just how good he is defensively in cf

The fact that he's playing CF at all makes him good defensively. Also, he's good out there.

Thanks. I obviously know BA is not any sort of legit measuring stick but I didn't make the effort to look up the full statistical breakdown.

 

4-5 wins is excellent

[CincyCubsFan]

Awesome.

[George Hayduke]

Yargh.

[sneakypower]

[treebird]

i never want to play the rays again
