Not arguing just curious, over the last couple seasons has his ops+ been as low as it is now at the end of July to where he has heated up in the final 2 months to raise it to 115-120 ?

Or is this his lowest ever at this point in the season?

He actually isn’t that low. Or at least not as low as fans here want to make him out to be. He is at OPS+ of 101. It would not take much to get him to 115, tbh. 
But to answer your question, in ‘23 Happ had OPS of 821 in August and 839 in September. He ended the season in his usual spot. If he does that this August and September I would guess he would show the same numbers.

Ok, but has he been at 101 at this point in the season before to where we can say no big deal hes been this low late in July before and pumped it up the final 2 months to get to 115-120?

Well, if was strikeouts wish granted, another pathetic inning from the Cubs.

That last swing by The Zuki looked like he has no interest in being out there.

Appears he also had Meidroth struck out twice as well.

I have time to watch a half inning.  A few runs would be nice to see

I mean, this guy’s curveball is insane. He was an odd man out in Milwaukee?

Maybe, of course, tonight against the Cubs but, with an ERA+ of 90 he's not good.
