Our starters, as a whole, have given up a .196 batting average against and have a 0.98 WHIP and a 2.38 ERA.

To be honest, Butters' games weren't even that fun. It was just nice to win some games after struggling for a bit. Mojo brought the heat. Let's see if treebird can join him. -
That was almost a quintessential 2016 Cubs Game. Great pitching. Lots of grounders and weak contact. Limited the walks. A smattering of K's. The defense was sensational and made several highlight reel plays. The offense was relentless and donged. The only thing we were missing were about 5 or 6 more walks, which could have made it a double-digit romp.

I was really hoping for an Addi bomb so all the struggling guys could get some. Alas... maybe this weekend.

Kyle Hendricks: Staff Ace or Slightly Worse than Arrieta?

They are pretty damn close in terms of may numbers. Zobrist defenders will say his OBP was almost .500 and had a higher overall OPS. Murphy defenders will say Murphy had a higher average and slightly more power, as well as struck out less. Zobrist in May: .406/.483/.653/1.137, 6 HR, 7 2B, 25 RBI, 16 BB, 16 K, 25 R Murphy in May: .416/.424/.673/1.096, 7 HR, 8 2B, 23 RBI, 2 BB, 12 K, 17 R I personally think Zobrist should have won it, but I don't think its laughable that Murphy won it The on-base advantage is way more significant than any slight advantages Murphy had in BA or SLG -- that's like one double falling in. Zobrist holding a .059 OBP advantage is much more significant. He was on base quite a bit more.

I wouldn't know where to start. I have no idea what I am looking at with a swing. Other than that I think his looks ugly, and it didn't look as ugly today. are you referring to the quieting down of the toe tap that the Cubs Related blog posted about a few weeks back or something more? No. The toe tap looked the same to me. I am talking more about what is going on with his hands and other stuff in close to his body. Like it didn't seem as herky jerky to me those first two at bats when I typed that. It seemed smooth. Usually it looks like his hands and arms are going in different directions or something. I don't know. It just looked more under control.

For real, though, after a dong, now I'm starting to wonder... I wouldn't be upset if you wrote an article exploring the idea. I wouldn't know where to start. I have no idea what I am looking at with a swing. Other than that I think his looks ugly, and it didn't look as ugly today.

Schwarber celebrating is awesome. Not sure if you can see him on the Cubs feed.

DONGSSSSSSSS!

Heyride!

The Sammy Hop is now the Javy Hop!

JAVY!

At what point in the game has he completely crushed their souls and they no longer believe this?
-
Does Heyward's swing look a little different to anyone else? I can't put my finger on it. But it just seems like there are fewer moving parts or something. It looks a little smoother. I've thought all year that it's looked like junk and that there is just too much going on. The first two ABs looked more pleasing aesthetically.

It's not donging, but I'll take 2 runs however we get them.
