General Cubs Chit-Chat

[davell]

I basically just see Statcast things on Twitter and I can't find the percentages on Javy's two plays last night anywhere. Where do you get that at?

Statcast now reporting on player speed: https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/sprint_speed_leaderboard?year=2017&position=&team=

 

The fastest Cub and in the Top 15 of all MLB is....Happ?

 

Bryant is the fastest 3B, faster than both Baez and Russell. Contreras is 2nd among catchers behind the shockingly fast Realmuto.

 

Montero is the 3rd slowest player in all of MLB, ahead of McCann and Pujols.

 

I'm not sure if this is measuring average or simply the fastest recorded time so take it with a grain of salt, but still fun.

 

so i'm guessing almora was too slow to even register w/the statcast equipment

 

Faster than Russell, Heyward, and Contreras!

 

(but below average for CF)

I remember in KBs rookie year, Statcast had his top speed faster than Dee Gordon's

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Happ being faster than Trea Turner is the most shocking thing I've read in awhile.

I can see the dad of the kid wondering if this was a Darryl Kile troll.

everyone on last year's team besides fowler either voted for trump or didn't vote. it's nice that they are good at baseball to entertain us, but they aren't good people.

Kile Schwarberber

 

what if its a legit auto and our beefy lad doesnt actually know how to spell

[David]

this team needs to dominate again if only so that the bullpen dance parties can be remembered as fondly as they should be

The kid's lucky; before this year he just signed everything with a giant "X."

“The reason why they were running left and right today because they know he was slow to the plate,” a visibly frustrated Montero said. “It really sucked because the stolen bases go to me, and when you really look at it, the pitcher doesn’t give me any time."

 

Things are fine.

montero is quietly kind of a bad teammate between stuff like this and openly complaining about not playing enough last year.

Not so quietly anymore.

He's not necessarily wrong, but very dumb to say. Just limit his starts with Arrieta on the mound(who is by far the worst at this) and especially do so if you're facing someone like Turner/Hamilton/Villar and things will be fine. Montero always had 4 months left on his Cubs tenure to begin with(and so does Jake) so I'm not terribly concerned about reverberating effects.

 

EDIT: Arrieta can also help by not letting Turner, Goodwin and Taylor reach base 5 out of 8 times.
