I wonder if something like this for Rizzo will happen in the next offseason or two once we decide to go over the LT. After this year he’s signed through 2021 with options at a total of $40 million (11 mil in 2019, 14.5 in 20 and 21). Maybe add 3 years and take it to around $80-100 total starting next year making him signed through 2023.

I was really hoping they'd have a long extra inning game to burn through their bullpens. Oh well, hopefully that happens tomorrow. -
-
This is great. I do like how just on top of calling him out for talking about it he was called out for pushing this narrative and giving it no context to sensationalize the whole deal
-
I can’t believe he’s this horsefeathering stupid
-
Vaunted Chase Anderson looks like he remembered he’s Chase Anderson. He’s not throwing 94-96 anymore and he’s back to his pre velo jump days and he’s sitting 89-92 on the FB tonight and getting hit hard
-
I know they won’t but honestly wouldn’t mind just skipping Lester’s start this time through the rotation. Let him start the home opener as his next start (which he was scheduled for). Seems like a little extra rest would be good for him.
-
Sounds like an update around 6:30 and both teams really want to get it in, according to Pat
-
I hope we win, obviously, but also strike out like 12 times tonight so we can set the record for most Ks through 6 games. Let’s just keep this going.

“If the Cubs were hitting .800 with RISP and striking out at like a 5% rate, they would never lose and we’d be applauding them!” horsefeathering idiot [tweet] [/tweet]

Jansen might be broken

I didn't even look at them until CW11 brought up hard and soft% but I don't see anybody scolding him for looking at that small sample. I completely agree with everything you said but I can't not see last year's first half struggles as a result of trying to yank everything. Like I said, Joe acknowledged it as a problem and he wanted them to shift their approach at the plate and they pretty clearly did and they saw a 48 point BABIP increase and got back to plating a [expletive] of runs. I feel like I'm watching them bang their heads into the wall when they hit a bunch of atem balls and have nothing to show for it. I'm not labeling it as a fatal flaw. I'm saying that I'm not surprised they have a low BABIP. All the horsefeathers I cited and complained about in the first half last year only lingered until the break. It's not like I was egregiously wrong about any of it. Hitting the ball hard vs soft is something that actually happened though. BABIP at this point is nebulous. The team is hitting the ball hard and not striking out that much is the underlying thesis.

We all should’ve take a page out of that book and movie Billy Beane wrote about himself and not actually watch the games
-
...if we have a high BABIP for similarly pull-heavy teams, then doesn't that kind of crap on your point? 280 is nothing to write home about and would have been 28th in the league last year.Forget my post above, I misunderstood your point
-
...if we have a high BABIP for similarly pull-heavy teams, then doesn't that kind of crap on your point? BABIP is largely luck based so I think he’s implying that if we keep pulling the ball the offense will be even worse when that regresses Maybe it’s because it’s a smaller profile of a batted ball so maybe the BABIPs typically skew lower but a .280 BABIP doesn’t seem like something that screams regression to me or would be unsustainable.
-
Also, I know we all know the strikeout take by Rogers is dumb but another thing that makes it look dumb.... We rank 6th as a team in hard contact% and 19th in soft contact%. Way to results focused right now by Cubs twitter idiots, the process is mostly fine (obviously could use some refinement but the results are going to come).
-
We're going to win 4 of the next 5 games, be at 6-4 for the home opener and this is all going to look silly and forgettable.
-
The BABIP/regression gods will get him soon enough. He’s striking out 40% of his PAs so far (SSS).
-
Rogers trying to push this K total narrative for some stupid reason. They’re 14th in the league right now in K rate and were 11th last year. This is a stupid non-story if not for that stupid extra innings game.
-
KB has been such a professional hitter to start the year, somehow it seems like he’s taking it up another level
-
With Mr. Clutch himself coming up, what could go wrong
