    i sure hope so. wood ain't good.

    Bad command tonight. May be seeing a lot of Jaxon in this game.
  3. TruffleShuffle
    Phew, that had 2-run double written all over it. Lucky it was hit straight at Rizzo, because Wood missed his spot badly on that 2-1 pitch.
  4. TruffleShuffle
    Feel free to throw a strike anytime here, Travis.

    i'm not really sure what is to be done to fix it, though. they've been pretty unlucky (high babip against, low LOB%). cubs were actually 4th in bullpen FIP coming into this game, and the guys who pitched like crap tonight are supposed to be two of the best relievers on the team (along with ramirez, who's hurt). grimm just got called up, rosscup has been pretty good, wada will probably be ready before long, schlitter is mercifully gone. let's face it, the relievers who are reliably good are already pitching for other teams right now. plus the brewers cobbled together a good bullpen last year largely through castoffs from other clubs. it's hard to do much at this stage of the season except for hope that guys who are pitching below expectations start getting better, and guys who are hurt start to get healthy.

    No it is not. Admittedly, it's just when I'm checking the speed as opposed to looking things up. From what I've seen he's peaking at 93-94 instead of 97-98 There were a few 96 but he was mainly sitting at 94, just going by the Cubs broadcast speed fastballs that inning: 95, 96, 94, 96, 96, 94, 96, 96, 95, 94, 94, 94, 94, 95, 95, 95, 96, 96, 96, 96, 93. average: 95.05mph. season average: 95.6mph. sliders: 85, 85, 84, 83, 83, 83, 83, 85, 84, 86. average: 84.1. season average: 85.0 down 0.55mph on the fastball and 0.9mph on the slider. velocity wasn't much of a problem. he was struggling with his release point.

    for [expletive]'s sakes rondon.
  10. TruffleShuffle
    safe but they'll probably call him out anyway, because replay.
  11. TruffleShuffle
    :lol: brewers
  12. TruffleShuffle
    mckinney went 3-5 with 2 doubles. baez singled, walked and didn't strike out!!! \:D/ blackburn and ben wells got rocked.
  13. TruffleShuffle
    i feel like the brewers have to have a guy who can bat in that situation besides a catcher with a .450 ops.
  14. TruffleShuffle
    our bullpen has too many lousy pitchers right now for one of our "good" pitchers to go through this kind of slump.
  15. TruffleShuffle
    or walk a guy with a career ops below .600 against lhp again bring the tying run to the plate. :roll:
  16. TruffleShuffle
    throw strikes. lind is atrocious against lhp.
  17. TruffleShuffle
    i'm kind of afraid to look up on fangraphs what the cubs' offensive pitch value is against sliders, curveballs and cutters. seems like all of the young guys are really struggling against anything that breaks.

  22. TruffleShuffle
    2-run double for mckinney in the first inning.
  23. TruffleShuffle
  24. TruffleShuffle
    well then they made a pretty big mistake by including mordecai brown, unless he's about 150 years old now.
  25. TruffleShuffle
    this was a solid maddon rage at a terrible call: http://www.si.com/mlb/strike-zone/2013/04/09/marty-foster-rays-rangers-ben-zobrist-joe-nathan http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/mlb-big-league-stew/juice-umpire-marty-foster-unbelievably-bad-strike-three-140716533--mlb.html
