Cubs v Giants at night on ESPN

[mul21]

Someone tell me why Sampson isn’t a thing. Has he added a pitch or velocity or control since he was bad? I know this conversation has happened elsewhere but I’m lazy and you guys are good at this.

Sampson imploding after two outs.

Sampson imploding after two outs.

Imploding is tough. All three hits have been weak.

Nevermind - now he's imploding

[mul21]

Never mind I guess.

Paahhlumph. Bottom drops out.

Main thing is he has a tendency to throw hittable pitches. Last inning was a good example

Contreras & Happ have been lowkey horrible for the last month or so

Contreras & Happ have been lowkey horrible for the last month or so

 

Willson in July: .149/.259/.230/.489

 

Happ in July: .279/.299/.385/.684

 

Happ’s is a “I’m a good hitter slumping this month” type of stretch, Willson’s is a “I’m either hurt or I have something occupying my mind and affecting my play” type of stretch

Splitting hairs given how important it is to us, but Happ's 33/2 K/BB ratio seems more concerning than anything else. To put up a below average line with a .400 BABIP is pretty hard to do.
