Letting Steele go for another inning is surprising

He's gotta pitch to sort out his troubles.

[BKHoo]

Can we close this? I’m not so sure. 

[DYMNO]

That Shota-PCA-Happ conversation they just showed looked mighty meme-worthy.

He did it! Ballgameovah

[JHBulls]

W!

Good way to end it.

Haha, unfortunately we still have to count those. Not that anyone wants to, absolute crap that was.

Oh baby that Tucker homer montage was sweet. What a swing 

[Stratos]

Pressly throws a 3200+ rpm curveball, which led the mlb last year.  His 4-seam is also has the 6th highest rpm in the MLB.

I have more faith in Hodge than Pressly and I won't be surprised if they swap roles before the end of the season.

And when that 4-seamer is 96-98, the combo is devastating.

I'm not proud of how relieved I am that Cam Smith is getting the bat knocked out of his hands and we can avoid that discourse, at least for a while.

Yep! Hopefully we'll get some reprieve until July when the Cubs will trade a few other prospects at the deadline and we'll get to read about how Drew Gray (whom I still like as a prospect) is going to be the next Clayton Kershaw because he has two good starts with the Angels in Triple-A.

Who are we getting from the Angels🤷😅? JK. I know what you are saying, and agree with you.

I’m uncomfortable with how small Shaw looks at the plate 

I think his swing looks ridiculous and battling a negative voice in my head about its effect on his MLB success

imagine tucker sustaining this pace for 4 seasons, then realize that bonds actually did that

tucker ops so far: 1.303

bonds from 2001-2004: 1.368

It's early.

Anyone else worried about Steele, yes it's early, but...

Not really. It's about mechanics with Steele.

that's my whole point. tucker's pace is obviously unsustainable, yet bonds did it for 4 years
