Not likely.  He would probably K, but if not it's going to be a fly ball

I've seen enough of PCA to see he's not going to be much of a hitter at the Major League level

[Chicago Al]

Wasn’t a base hit but we’ll take it lol

[JHBulls]

That was the most Cubs win ever. 

[CubinNY]

Lolololololo

 

Cubs REFUSE to be swept

[Geographyhater8888]

They were due to a score A run. That’s all they needed plus 1 more. Good work Shotah and the pen. Hopefully Dansby heats up and bats his way into the 5 hole in front of Tauchman and 200 hitting Morel.

I believe you made the exact proclamation about Busch when he was struggling. Sure hope PCA proves you as wrong about him as you were about Busch. 

Wonder if Brewer fans said that about Turang last year or if the Rockies fans said that about Doyle last year. So what is your background in scouting to make this determination about a 22 year old guy with a couple of hundred AB in the majors where he hasn’t hit well? Does his previous minor league experience where he hit at every level matter to you? Or is PCA destined to be a sub .220 hitter in the majors. 
Turang OPS+ in 23 was 60

Doyle OPS+ in 23’ was 53

both were older than PCA their rookie years. Both over 100 OPS+ this year. I am not saying PCA turns into either or just because both are much better this year that means PCA obviously will be too. I am just saying let’s let him play a little before damning him to be a bad offensive player. He is 22 years old.

One of the few things the Cubs have been good at this year is not getting swept.

It’s really the 7 teams in front of them that is more concerning than then 3.5 GB, especially with the Cubs losing the tiebreaker with every single one

[BKHoo]

Go all in!

 

Get Oakland’s reliever.

Technically that is not true. When the Cubs got swept in the doubleheader against St. Louis, that also concluded the sweep the last time Cubs was in town.

[Stratos]

Its pretty remarkable the Cubs are 48-53.  They seem worse than that.

Get ready to give up Horton or Shaw ++. He’s incredible, but pass. If we were a piece away, like when we traded Torres for Chapman, then I’d do it. But we have plenty other holes to fill than a reliever, especially with how volatile relievers are. Yes, odds are he will be a lock down closer for years to come, but relievers are the hardest to project. Again, they are just so volatile. 

[LBiittner]

Although it would be sort of nice not choking saves like a dog swallowing a chicken bone
