Best record in the NL and best run differential in all of baseball, #WeAreGood -
:flythew: SWEEP

Kris Bryant, who is bad, is up to a .830 OPS, .361 wOBA, 125 wRC+, and career best BB (14.6%) and K (18.2%) rates

Mr. Clutch

I’d try and get 1 more out of Q here now that we added on to the lead
-
Almora needs to catch that, it’s all he’s possibly good for

Thanks Dex

Minor League Discussion & Boxes, 5-2-19
Cubswin11 replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Maybe something has clicked, but he’s been a below average to a tick above (going by wRC+) at every stop in the minors outside of this start to the year, a repeat of AAA. He looks like a AAAA guy to me, at best. -
no it does not appear that way anymore I don’t trust this front office to do the right thing until Russell is off the team. I don’t believe for a second that they’re going to stash him in Iowa all season While I agree we can’t take what they say as gospel... Theo and others have made it sound like, when asked recently, that Russell isn’t the everyday SS if/when he’s back. He’s playing 2B in Iowa a decent amount, I doubt they’d be having him do that if Javy wasn’t going to stay at SS a good chunk of the time.

I don't really care why offense is down? This whole thing started because you said it'd be nice to have Burnitz's slash line in left field. You were then told that Schwarber basically already gives you that, with better defense. And then you were told that a roughly .800 OPS is more valuable in 2019, when the average OPS is .740ish, than literally every year Burnitz played, where the average OPS was higher. So...Schwarber > Burnitz, agreed? First, any discussion about Schwarber and Burnitz should never be about defense because both should be described as "adequate" defensively. As I posted before, Schwarber wouldn't be removed so often for defensive reasons if he was "above average" as many of you claim. Defensive statistics are questionable at best (i.e. Schwarber could be rated better than Griffey JR. according to some stats. You don't really believe Schwarber > Griffey JR. defensively, do you?) Secondly, Burnitz had an avg. .826 OPS and 138 runs scored over a 14 year career, while Schwarber's avg. numbers are .803 with 86 runs scored in his career. Also, Schwarber's numbers include more platooning against lefties. Obviously there are many players I would have in LF over Burnitz or Schwarber, but since Burnitz' name was brought up in jest, I would pick Burnitz over Schwarber.

Rebuilds are easy

He’s playing 2B in Iowa today, fwiw. He should probably be up sooner than later and be playing CF or RF (with Heyward in CF). But I suppose since Almora got his wRC+ over 10 on the road trip he can’t be replaced now and Happ’s gotta find a new spot.

Also from Smith Anyone know which specific additions to the infrastructure he could be referring to? Is it that pitching lab they built in Arizona? We also added/replaced some of the coaching/trainers/staff throughout the org that seem to be more forward thinking and analytically inclined. We hired that former player (who’s name escapes me) who has like a biomechanics degree from MIT as example. Edit: I was thinking of Craig Breslow, he’s “Director of Strategic Initiatives for Baseball Operations” and he went to Yale and has degrees in molecular biophysics and biochemistry. -
The Brewers horsefeathering suck and dick shot Freddy is getting pounded in his first start off the IL
-
Oh god I forgot those horsefeathering meatballs are going to do this Yeah, hopefully they just hit him in the ass or back and that’s the end of it and we get the free base runner and then we hope KB finishes the job he started last year and takes Yadi’s other nut this weekend.
-
When do they throw at Kris for his “boring” comment?
-
We’re sweeping these assholes this weekend
-
stupid people fixating on strikeouts and how bad they can make you I mean, sure. But they were a problem for Happ, few guys can be overly successful with 30%+ k rates. He had clear holes in his swing, he’s never going to be a low K guy but it’s good to see him not doing it in 20 ABs.
-
We have the 2nd best run differential in MLB (best in the NL). We might be good.
-
He had a tight quad or hamstring yesterday (and that’s why he DH’d then and presumably today) guessing it was just precautionary to get him out since we were killing them.
