    We went to machine pitch this year for 7 and 8 year olds and it is so much nicer to get the kids seeing good pitches to hit.

    My son's team doesn't have a single pitcher who can throw consistent strikes. I sympathize with Pirates fans.
  3. Irrelevant Dude
    Can't wait to get Madrigal and Mastrobuoni both in the lineup on a regular basis.

    In the past, rain delay theatre would typically involve checking back in with the broadcast team every 30-60 minutes for an update. Now it seems like they just disappear for the entirety of the rain delay and nobody provides any updates until the game is about ready to resume.

    On the other hand, they will be on their 3rd reliever already in the 5th inning, so there's that.

    I can't find specific verbiage related to rain delays and the 3 batter minimum. There is an exception for resumption of a suspended game, but I'm not clear whether rain delays are included there as well.

    I'm not sure what I expect a Connor Joe to look like, but it certainly isn't that.

    Yikes. 3 pitches, 3 strikes, without taking the bat off his shoulder.

    Man, not sending Nico felt like a big mistake at the time against a guy like this... And it was.
  10. Irrelevant Dude
    Why hold Nico there?
  11. Irrelevant Dude
    Alzolay is doing his best to give up more dingers.

    The whole "wanted to do radio" always seemed a bit fishy. I know everything Len said about radio, but did he REALLY prefer to do radio, or was that just the job that was conveniently open after a falling out with the Cubs?

    The velocity is really concerning. I guess we can hope for a minor mechanical flaw, but what else could explain the sudden drop in velocity other than an injury? If he is sitting 92-94, he becomes a much less intriguing prospect.

    Any word yet what is going on with Taillon? He hasn't started since 5/4 and the Cubs have Assad, Steele, and TBD lined up for the next 3 games.
  15. Irrelevant Dude
    Ok, now tell me why the rest of the Cubs lineup is also struggling.
  16. Irrelevant Dude
    1 hit should have been enough. Damn you Wesneski.
  17. Irrelevant Dude
    I am all for automated strike zone. I am NOT for a stupid challenge system.
  18. Irrelevant Dude
    Yep, I've been in the "extend the starters" camp myself, but I didn't love sending Imanaga out for the 8th under these circumstances.
  19. Irrelevant Dude
    Bullpen gave up 2 runs there without even entering the game.
  20. Irrelevant Dude
    Can't complain about that.
  21. Irrelevant Dude
    I wasn't a big fan of the 6:40 start times originally, but combine that with the pitch clock and it does make a huge difference when taking school-aged children to games.
  22. Irrelevant Dude
    I'm pretty sure it was determined that Busch isn't eligible either because he made his debut with the Dodgers last year. Either way, we won't need to worry about that if he doesn't get things turned around fairly soon.
  23. Irrelevant Dude
    Pat is only 68. By broadcaster standards, that isn't extremely old. If he is healthy and wants to keep doing it, there is no reason to think that he can't continue to broadcast for another 5-10 years or more. Hopefully long enough for Zach Zaidman to have found gainful employment elsewhere.
  24. Irrelevant Dude
    On the bright side, I guess that could explain why he was getting hit yesterday. But shoulder stiffness is never a good thing to hear, especially when it's your (only) 100+ mph flamethrower. Hopefully this is nothing more than minor inflammation.
  25. Irrelevant Dude
    There it is again, the negativity!
