    @1908_Cubs Any insight on the under the hood stuff to tell us if we should be getting excited about this or not?

    The Cubs are 5-5 in their last 10, have lost 2 in a row to the Braves, the offense has been putrid of late, everyone is hurt, our pets heads are falling off, yet they remain only 1.5 games behind the Brewers for the NL Central lead. All is not lost and they have a 4 games with the Pirates coming up to hopefully right the ship a bit. Go Cubs!

    @Brock Beauchamp of course my turn came up on a day I was stuck in meetings all morning.

    He's just so damned arrogant and condescending. It's a miracle it hasn't bitten him in the ass before now. It's also patently obvious from the way the Shildt firing was handled that Oli is nothing more than a yes man for him. I really think his arrogance and the "Cardinal Way" BS that whole franchise has bought into has completely handicapped them when it comes to adapting to change and some of the new technology and strategy in the game and it's manifesting in their inability to develop young players or rehab older guys like they had been able to do very regularly until the last couple years. The level of discontent with the franchise right now is incredibly high and unfortunately for the fans, I don't think it's changing anytime soon.

    I say Happ goes to the IL when Seiya is back, you kick Belli to RF, Tauchman to LF and let Seiya DH. Something is clearly not right with Ian right now.

    Hey, screw you and your actual data. My feelings are more important. 🤣 Interesting to see those numbers. Are Happ and Dansby outliers in anyway there?

    I don't think there's a need to do damage to the opposite field, but taking the pitches that way when warranted is something they're not doing enough. Eventually pitchers will get tired of getting nickel and dimed to death and have to come back inside to the power, or they miss getting all the way in and then the hitters can pounce on those pitches.

    I think it was Girardi the other day who mentioned Swanson was pulling off everything and needs to look to RF to get back on track. This feels like a pretty pertinent observation since we've seen evidence that he's being pitched away, away, away right now. I think the same is true for Happ and the other day he got a pitch in the zone on the outer 3rd, looked at it for a strike, then took the next pitch in a similar location back up the middle on an attempt to pull it when he likely could have hit a line drive to right if he was looking that way.

    He was, but he was also making up the fact that they weren't good last year the entire time, which is really what I'm referencing here. It's fairly obvious to those paying attention (and documented above) that we're in a little bit of a down offensive environment right now and that's been compounded for the Cubs by missing their 2 best offensive players.
  10. mul21
    Convenient way out for the guy making stuff up.
  11. mul21
    The point is you're bitching about an offense that has been without its 2 best players for several weeks on top of the fact that you're ignoring the offense was actually good last year. No, many people didn't see this coming because how can you anticipate Belli and Seiya going down at the same time plus Happ and Swanson cratering in productivity? You're just making stuff up to fit your narrative.

    This ump has been a problem today and in some key spots.
  13. mul21
    Whatever the last pitch he threw to Merrill was must look just like a fastball that cuts away from lefties coming out of his hand because Merrill was frozen.
  14. mul21
    "He's got room..........and it's gone!" 🤣
  15. mul21
    I'll be mildly shocked if it's not Morel.
  16. mul21
    It used to just be called transactions and was a catch all for everything, especially useful around the trade deadline. I think that's the way to go.
  17. mul21
    While I hate the bad umpiring, I love that it screwed the Cards and the Sox proceeded to take 2 of 3 from them this weekend.
  18. mul21
    I have zero interest in relievers who can't throw strikes. We have plenty of those already and the pitch lab hasn't figured out how to fix that problem yet.
  19. mul21
    I was very concerned about PCA until he hit that home run to get his first hit because he just looked antsy and lost at the plate, but he's been so much more comfortable since then that I think he really has that star potential. I'm not saying he doesn't have flaws and isn't going to struggle a bit, but i really think his ceiling is incredibly high and I would hate to trade that for a relief pitcher, even if it is a 100 mph throwing closer.
  20. mul21
    Are you thinking this is an organizational/strategy thing or that guns are slow?
  21. mul21
    That 101 on the black pitch is about as filthy as it gets. That had Maddux like movement and was 7-8 mph faster than he ever threw that pitch. If he can throw strikes consistently, that's a terrifying weapon at the back of the pen.
  22. mul21
    Looks like @Southpaw19 is up today if I can read (always questionable by Friday).
  23. mul21
    I'll take a spot.
  24. mul21
    Sure, but 6 hits doesn't say soft contact to me. He also only threw 70 pitches and gave up hits to the last 2 guys he faced. Color me skeptical.
  25. mul21
    6 hits even with the 7 Ks tells me he's still not fooling anyone.
