Luke Voit deciding to hit Tyler Stephenson in the head with both his hands/arms during the play at the plate was pretty blatantly intentional to me. Of course the umps didn't agree and ruled it clean.
-
Now imagine if they had Correa and with Davis in the wings, this offense would actually be kind of exciting.

Long story short, me too. -
4/17 Cubs(Smyly) vs Rockies(Gomber)
Tryptamine replied to itisallpartoftheplan's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Irrational Madrigal hatred quickly becoming rational. -
Kid is going to get a 250M contract before he throws an mlb pitch if he gets posted
-
Look around at some other Cub sites I'm well aware there are plenty of moron Cub fans as well. I just find Cards Talk to be particularly objectionable.
-
Why slide?
-
Same thing every time with Madrigal. Falls behind early, then weakly puts a bad pitch into play.
-
Well done bullpen.
-
0 hr in 33.2 IP, ,267babip was the lowest of his career, no increase in velocity. The only thing that suggested any real progress was a change in pitch usage. You'd have preferred he given up more home runs? His xERA and xFIP were fine last year too. It's completely unsustainable. His xFIP WAS 3.69, nearly double his era. His Siera was 3.58. Yeah its not awful, but coming off two awful years prior, I'm not aching to give a guy like that a roster spot.

He shouldn't have been around to begin with. He hasn't been anything but terrible since 2018. He was pretty good last year on the surface. 30 appearances, 2.14 ERA, 2.01 FIP unless the underlying numbers suggest he was much worse 0 hr in 33.2 IP, ,267babip was the lowest of his career, no increase in velocity. The only thing that suggested any real progress was a change in pitch usage.

Nicely done Chavez
-
It's not really irrational. He swings too much. So much weak contact after getting behind in the count over and over.
-
It's game 3 and I'm already developing an Irrational dislike for Madrigal.
-
Ump misses 2 strikes in a row.
-
Hoerner hitting a lot of balls hard. He's actually really interesting if he somehow developed 15-20 hr pop.
-
Seiya!!
-
Looks like it cost them a run.
-
Nothing to see here, just Kyle Hendricks sporting an 18 K/9
-
I'd be willing to bet heavy money that when he signed with the Cubs they tried to make swing changes to unlock that untapped power and apparently screwed him up permanently in doing so.
-
If espn is to be believed, that was 4 straight strikes thrown to Seiya, with two of them called balls.
-
Nothing confirmed, but there was a rumor that Paddack's medicals were the reason the Hosmer deal fell through.
-
Well that's quite the missed opportunity. Paddack would have been a great get.
-
and yet Cards Talk has a majority of posters in support of Bauer and advocating that the Cardinals pick him up. Shocking, I know.
