  2. Rex Buckingham
    hilariously bad giveaway
  3. Rex Buckingham
    Vosler used to be in the Cubs system, was traded to the Padres for Wick

    Jake is toast, Davies sucks, Williams has never been any good, Kyle keeps giving up HRs, and Alzolay is going to hit his career high in IP by like the All-star break. The bullpen hs been great, but how long before all the high leverage innings catch up with them?

  8. Rex Buckingham
    anyone else hate the checking of notecards or whatever like Reyes just did looking inside his hat?

    man, the 'pen has been great

    Joc looked awful all night, Rizzoli had a terrible AB in a huge spot, and like someone said, we never adjusted to the offspeed stuff. And Alzolay should have been done after 6. Missed a lot of spots the last couple of innings, starting with the slider to Thomas that drove in the first run.

    Kinda cool seeing Javy back off that ball because he knew Nico had it
  12. Rex Buckingham
    Look at this idiot
  13. Rex Buckingham
    Ugh, don't want to see Sogard here
  14. Rex Buckingham
    Think they'll be able to get anything for Duffy at the deadline?

    4 identified clutch hits in ~ 2,400 PA’s in 5+ years for a premier FA signing. Not bad. Like I said, it’s probably not a good thing that they easily jump out at me because they were 4 times he’s actually come through. That said there are more big hits and relative to his overall performance I’m not sure if he is particularly unclutch. He just hasn’t been good much of the time so he doesn’t come through all that often, but maybe statistics show otherwise. I don’t think he has had bad ABs in clutch situations like where he’s trying too hard and swinging at junk. I think he has a tendency to take strikes earlier in the count as he’s trying to work the count in his favor to get a pitch that he won’t roll over (though he often rolls over it anyways). JHey High Leverage OPS/OPS+ 16 - .576/60 in 110 PA 17 - .806/117 in 100 PA 18 - .773/115 in 101 PA 19 - .640/71 in 103 PA 20 - .993/163 in 35 PA 21 - .248/-26 in 25 PA Full Season OPS/OPS+/PA 16 - .631/68/592 17 - .715/84/481 18 - .731/94/489 19 - .772/101/589 20 - .848/133/181 21 - .561/58/122 The high leverage OPS+ is adjusted for situation... so in 17 and 18, he was pretty good in HL situations, and 20 in a very small sample... and nothing has been way out of wack with his overall performance vs HL situations, but yes he has been seriously awful so far this year

    man, it would be kinda scary up against Clase right now... he doesn't seem to know where it's going at all
  17. Rex Buckingham
    drop: George Springer ($150) Add: Bryce Harper ($100)
  18. Rex Buckingham
    Bote getting picked off burns a PH, and makes Ross decide if he wants to use another PH or let a reliever hit... way to TOOTBLAN
  19. Rex Buckingham
    good grief, why not tag the bag Rizzo?
  20. Rex Buckingham
    KB made a really nice play in center on that last one too
  21. Rex Buckingham
    lots of solid OT, CB, and WR prospects left to choose from today for the Bears. Almost wondering about trading down from 52 (to the mid 60s?) to try and pick up a 4th or 5th rounder?
  22. Rex Buckingham
    Does a guy like Fields really need an entire year to learn? I say as long as they can protect, let him play
  23. Rex Buckingham
    I would fully expect them to trade Kimbrel if they keep sucking. That extra year adds value, and they won't need him next year since they'll probably suck again, so they might as well try to find some rando to try and catch lightning in a bottle then trade for more than he's worth because he's racked up some saves
  24. Rex Buckingham
    Not opposed to them taking 2 QBs (1 early, 1 late). If you don't have a QB, you might as well tank in todays nfl.

    Cubs fit in others category
