Don't know if the numbers bare it out but, I think the Cubs have more trouble with soft tossing junk ballers like Quintana and Anderson. Then say, Koenig or Patrick.
-
I'm fully expecting more very hit-able balls the Cubs will do jack-horsefeathers with this inning.
-
Jason appears to me Anderson has hung several breaking balls and the Cubs keep missing them. Is that true?
-
They might get one with Peralta, their chances are really slim after him.
-
Should they advance it'll end vs. the Dodgers. They have trouble with velocity and that's pretty much the whole of Dodgers staff right now.
-
If he's left in, they'll get to Quintana.
-
horsefeathers finally a shut down inning!!!!! It's a start. I believe there's an excellent chance Shaw doesn't put another ball in play until spring trainer 2026. I don't know WTF he's doing, appears he's trying to hit every 2000 mph.
-
Besides a bunt and few walks, has Shaw K'ed in every other at bat? Does anyone know?
-
Thanks.

Proof the Brewers are stealing signs, again

My mistake, I thought it was middle-middle and a strike. And I retract my statement about Shaw he would have struck out. -

Vaughn HR was on a meatball, terrible location by Shota, even Matt Shaw would have put that ball in play. Lower and inside it's probably a strikeout. -
Probably not, wouldn't mind the Brewers, Reds, Pirates and Cardinals being "inconsequential" though.
-
Main problem I have with the Ricketts is Cubs have the resources to be the Dodgers/Yankees of the Midwest, they could make the pissant Brewers, Reds, Cardinals and Pirates mostly inconsequential. Yet, they choose to operate like those small market teams.

Week 6: Bears at Commanders MNF on ABC/ESPN

Yes, look at all the ****** teams. What's the common dominator? Bad QB play, bad offenses. -

Honestly, at this point, I could care less about the defense. It's all about Caleb and the offense, once it's humming then use the off season to focus on the defense. I'm probably wrong however, I believe it's easier to fix a defense than an offense - give the keys, free agency, drafting reports, etc. to Ben and Allen, let them work. Poles should be used as nothing more than a conduit towards acquiring whomever Ben and Allen target. -
Hell, even if they don't win, I just want to see the Cubs beat up on Brewers' pitcher. As Jason and other pitching gurus have pointed out Priester is exactly the profile the Cubs feast upon.
-
Think I've irrational hatred of Bertuzzi, most especially after watching videos of him wasting Bedards brilliant feeds and setups. Someone with more hockey knowledge please explain Bertuzzi' utility.
-
Even with his slumping bat PCA is easily the best CF'er on any NL team, it's not even close. But, the best player, I see what you're saying. A healthy Tucker is the best player on all but the Phillies and Dodgers.
-
I'm fairly certain sellers' price tags for the Cubs were outrageous and why not? It wasn't a secret the Cubs were in a tough spot and desperate to improve their pitching.
-
I know the Cubs have had some success with signing Japanese players, just so leery of wasting resources on what, at times, seems like an exercise in futility. Feels like the Dodgers have the market cornered on Japanese stars and all of them want to play only for the Dodgers. During the pursuit of Sasaki didn't the Phillies say as much? Think there was another team that dropped out along the same lines.
-
My fancy way of saying I believe Busch will improve.
-
I do not think it beyond the realm of possibilities that PCA will improve with the bat, less power, more contact. Also, do not believe we've seen Busch' ceiling.
-
Saturday is not going to be pretty, my hope is the Illini manage to score a TD and no one gets hurt. The big game for them is the following week in Seattle.
-
It's my Illini can't possibly be good at football bias creeping in.
-
That may be correct, Allar has never struck one, looked or played like a difference maker. Heck, one could argue, a putz. such as Luke Altmyer is better and more of a difference maker than Allar.
