5/8 Cubs (Hammel) @ Milwaukee (Nelson) 7:10 CSN

[Andy]

This is [expletive] ridiculous. This team can't win anything without a heart attack

[rocket]

the worst team in baseball is going to own us all year

Rondon's velocity is down 4-5 mph tonight.

[ScrubMD]

Our bullpen sucks as much as Rizzo is awesome.

Rondon's velocity is down 4-5 mph tonight.

And nobody noticed this like 4 batters ago. Someone should have been up in the pen.

Please score 20 runs tomorrow so the staff will have to work real hard to keep it interesting

No it is not.

Admittedly, it's just when I'm checking the speed as opposed to looking things up. From what I've seen he's peaking at 93-94 instead of 97-98

There were a few 96 but he was mainly sitting at 94, just going by the Cubs broadcast speed

According to CSN he was hitting at least 94, so I don't know that Tim saw.

[rocket]

pretty smart of Rondon to have his worst outing and still win

[CyHawk_Cub]

The ranting that would have ensued had Rondon given up a gapper to Parra...I would have participated in it.

 

Offense double digit K's every game, plus bullpen sucks. The need for consistent dongs is palpable.

[sneakypower]

thank heavens for Bryant's hustle

[Schwarber Fan]

Has he hit 98 regularly? Not recalling that.

Right, Rondon at 94-95 with the fastball is the norm. He hits 97-98 at times, but it's not worrisome that he's not living there. http://www.fangraphs.com/pitchfxo.aspx?playerid=2391&position=P&pitch=FA

The Good: W

The Bad: The Brewers 4 starter just struck out Leon Durham

The Also Bad: Our bullpen is dead.

fastballs that inning: 95, 96, 94, 96, 96, 94, 96, 96, 95, 94, 94, 94, 94, 95, 95, 95, 96, 96, 96, 96, 93. average: 95.05mph. season average: 95.6mph.

 

sliders: 85, 85, 84, 83, 83, 83, 83, 85, 84, 86. average: 84.1. season average: 85.0

 

down 0.55mph on the fastball and 0.9mph on the slider. velocity wasn't much of a problem. he was struggling with his release point.

He's averaging 95.8 on the year and regularly peaks at 98.

 

I seem to have missed a whole bunch of 96's while watching live. Just coincidence that I looked when he threw the 93's and 94's, I guess. Or I was only looking at the speed when he didn't look comfortable.

[DiamondMind]

Im not going to make it through the season. Im just not. Massive heart attack is imminent at some point.

[Sammy Sofa]

I thought a dong-driven, [expletive] pitchers-type team was going to be fun.

 

This is just giving me diarrhea.

[DiamondMind]

This is the least happy I've been after a win in a long time. I'm still just nervous and anxious and argghhhh. Our [expletive] bullpen man. It needs fixed like, yesterday.
