    Yeah, with a few exceptions, just a bunch of oompa loompas. Friedl, Steer, etc.

    Irritates me to to end how some of their mediocre players excel against the Cubs.

    Dansby back tonight, correct?

    This is akin to what I thought about the other day while hearing our old friend, Bob Brenly (I'm sorry, he sometimes sounds like a idiot with his homer-ism), blabbing about the Diamondbacks leading all of baseball in comeback wins. This is true because the Diamondbacks starting pitching is atrocious and has consistently put them in a hole. Don't know if leading the league in comeback wins is necessarily a good statistic in this context. Nevertheless, the similarities are one statistic is the by product of another - Cubs amongst the league leaders in LOB(bad thing) is a result of being amongst the league leaders in base runners (good thing). Very much like the Diamondbacks leading the league in comeback wins (good thing) is a result of terrible starting pitching (bad thing).

    Of Murakami' hit a 3 run HR off Valdez, I don't know anything about baseball - true fact.

    Going to watch the White Sox and Tigers tonight, Tigers starting Valdez don't believe Murakami will be playing. Murakami' in a brutal slump - On the other hand, McGonigle is having a great rookie season - 6.7 WAR - probably the odds on favorite for ROY.

    Thanks Jason. Assume pitching science. If he can get the slider back on track that'll have a domino effect of goodness.

    I was thinking Palencia is cooked and should be shut down, appears, lately, he's improved. Maybe, just maybe, he'll have a run of effectiveness in the coming weeks? I figure Thornton and Theilbar are out of the PS picture, guessing Rolison is set. Webb is a big concern, going into the all star break and slightly after it wasn't he very effective and reliable? For the past month or so, he's consistently hung the change-up, might he be able to get back to where he was at the all star break?

    He was sliding into the same pattern as last season - effective for bit then flowed into un-pitchable by the PS. Good to see him turning around.

    Bregman sitting at 88 RBI and Suzuki at 81, don't think Bregman will get to 100 but, 90+ is almost certainly going to happen. Suzuki getting to 90 would be great as well.

    Posters here bitch and moan about the Cubs delta between batting and pitching WAR, what about the unbeatable Phillies? Team offense WAR of 6, yes, that's right 6, and OPS+ of 89 vs. a pitching WAR of 29. I don't care how great the Phillies pitching is, they're not going to shutdown every playoff opponent.
  12. gflore34
    The Phillies fans here are putting them on a pedestal.
  13. gflore34
    Wait a minute. Did the Cubs just win a game without allowing a HR? A Shota start no less? I've seen everything now, cross that off my bucket list. Seriously, Shota was really good, it was great to see. AZ is done, stick a fork in them, only remaining question is WC seeding. Never took AZ seriously, despite the annoying way they took 2 last time vs. the Cubs. Far too flawed, more so than the Cubs, Phillies and Padres.

    I watched the full game as well, Caleb definitely left some on the field. Didn't he say as much in the post game?
  15. gflore34
    I noticed that as well, think this season will be his high water mark in MLB.
  16. gflore34
    Guess it boils down to how efficiently you suck, throw multiple INT's, your team only scoring 10 points. In PFF's eyes it's all okay as long the completions you had to not the other team were done "efficiently". Got to a bad box score in a good way.
  17. gflore34
    Jason you mentioned Jackson Ferris and Ty Johnson, out of curiosity I checked Ferris. Appears he still having problems throwing strikes. In fact, his current BB/9 of 4.7 is, except for 2023, higher than any season with the Cubs. I believe some guys regardless of coaching and development just don't find it, Ferris may never be able to harness his stuff. He's not as tall as Little however, my guess, is his length may be giving him problems. That is, it's really hard to consistently replicate a pitching motion with all those arms and legs is this true?
  18. gflore34
    What gets me on the PFF nonsense is PFF talking about Caleb or any QB making this or that read or the "correct" read. Does PFF know every teams playbook? Does PFF know the progressions on every drop back? Seriously, WTF are these clowns talking about? Reminds me of Trump commenting on subjects on which he has no horsefeathers clue.
  19. gflore34
    Don't know why but, I'm strangely confident Imanaga will pitch well and the Cubs will win tonight. Sure, Shota will give a couple of harmless solo shots, Cubs will win.
  20. gflore34
    I noticed as well, Monangai almost pancaked the blitzer on a play, just knocked his ass out of the way.
  21. gflore34
    We've seen flashes of this before, his last start, for a few at bats, Cabrera was un-hittable, just nasty, batters had no chance. I don't who to blame for his failure to consistently execute, coaching offers some ultimately, it's up to the player to execute.
  22. gflore34
    Let me guess, he to, also had a higher PFF than Caleb. Because, you know, he got to bad box score in a good way whereas, Caleb got to a good box score in a bad way.
  23. gflore34
    They were doubling him, sometimes three defenders were around, ignored Raymond, rb's out of the backfield, even, at times, Burden and Kmet. Gearing up just to limit Loveland' touches doesn't seem like a sound approach, I'm certain Ben was more than happy to spread the ball around to other receivers.
  24. gflore34
    Watched Jenkins' film break down, noticed often times had two defenders sometimes three defenders around Loveland, ignoring Kmet, Raymond and Burden, did they really think that was going to work?
  25. gflore34
    So, does this mean TD passes and other completions negated by penalties are counted as well? If I recall correctly had at least one completion negated by penalty.
