Does it matter? Right now, he couldn't hit a BP FB hard.
-
Right now, at the plate, a cardboard cutout is > Shaw. His next at bat I'm calling a 70- GB to SS, we'll see.
-
With Shaw I'd settle for one good game, let alone, a good week. Honestly, right now, it appears the probability of Shaw having a good game is almost zero. That hanger Smith hit, the same pitch, Shaw hits it weakly to RF.
-
The Cubs have hit, what, two balls hard off of this bum? Just pathetic.
-
Let's watch Kyle Tucker hit another soft liner or dribbler just because.
-
Seriously, who the horsefeathers is this Trammell clown that Cubs keep pitching to him like he's dangerous? He, with a negative career war.
-
Well, at least they won't get shut out by this joker.
-
While Horton did a good job on his last start at Wrigley. He's yet to have a dominating game, I'm beginning to wonder if it's going to happen at all this season.
-
Game over.
-
I'm a Shaw believer he might even have a good week or two but, holy horsefeathers, his struggles at the plate are getting tiresome.
-
The guy superior stuff has no K's while the soft tosser has two.
-
No reason at all for any of that drama, that horsefeathers BB to Trammell almost cost Horton.
-
Game 2, who's starting for the Astros? Because outside of Valdez and Brown the rest of their starters don't appear to be imposing. Or, is because, regardless of who the Astros are starting, the Cubs have Rea going for them in second game?
-
Just asking - Is it allowed for the players the Cubs acquired to have big games vs. their former teams or, is having big games against your former team just reserved for guys the Cubs traded away?
-
It's only downside with Lugo, with Edward Cabrera or Sandy Alcantara, there are elements of upside.
-
I was referring to this season, read the article, while the surface numbers suggest he may be okay. Under the hood suggests something different, for a recent example, although not a starter, see Pressly.
-
Hard pass on Lugo besides, don't the Cubs have plenty of the current version of Lugo in their system? Rea, Flexen, Assad (hopefully, after the break), Noland, Birdsell (him to, after the break) why spend any resources to get another? I'd also look at giving Wicks another shot, who, I believe, recently has been showing well at Iowa.
-
I don't see how Lugo shouldn't command anything more than a lottery ticket. He doesn't move the needle much for the Cubs, he may be more reliable than say, a Ben Brown, and perhaps, slightly better than Rea. Jed can and should do much better.
-
I'm surprised the Cubs scored only three runs, this Cardinals' staff is tailor made for them to crush. Unless they make some changes I really don't see the Cardinals faring much better in the remaining season series. Watched the condensed game yeah, they should have scored a lot more runs. Bowling league Burleson had the defensive series of his life. My guess, is sporting a lifetime negative defensive war, we won't see a repeat performance against the Cubs. But, man, it's annoying, like seeing Castellanos pull those catches out his ass last series in Wrigley.
-
This series and the season series may have started with a bang for the Cardinals but, it's going to end in a whimper.
-
Maybe someone else with access to analytical tools can answer this question. Right now he's unable to square up a ball, to me, it appears to be a timing issue more so than the quality of the pitch. In Iowa we saw video of Shaw crushing balls with the same velocity and location however, in the big leagues, he's not. The pressure to perform, Cubs being a good position for the postseason, etc. could be contributing factors in his timing being off.
-
I meant in their rotation, a guy with some velocity and up side.
-
Watched the condensed game, awesome the Cubs turned the tables on the Cardinals. Crushed the ball, flashed some leather and just flat out kicked Cardinal ass. Pretty hopeful for today, I've no doubt Cubs will score a bunch of runs, Shota will hold the Cardinals down. If I was a Cardinals fan I'd be worried about the SP, their starters may be softer than the Cubs and that's saying something. The statistics may not back my statement up but, the eye test vs. the Cubs suggest their starters are soft. I don't believe they have the resources to make vast improvements and, right now, they don't have Horton-like type.
-
Perhaps, I also believe the Cubs, in PCA and Tucker, have the two best players on the field. At some this series you'd think that's going to be a big factor maybe, tonight.
-
I've no doubt the Cubs will score a bunch of runs, on the whole, the Cardinals' staff is great match up for the Cubs. There isn't anyone on their staff with overpowering stuff, all keep the ball in the zone and down which the Cubs crush. On the other hand, it appears, the Cubs staff is also a great match up for the Cardinals!
