How long until we stop making excuses for pitchers and say it’s the ball when they give up homers that barely get out? It’s the same for every team every day and it’s been like this for a couple years now. It’s just the ball at this point. It’s not like the wind which varies day by day. Not complaining about you specifically but just a general statement about the ball in general. When it's the ball and wind working in tandem, it's incredibly frustrating. Before a juiced ball there was already somewhat of a thin line between lucky homer and lazy fly out. Add in a juiced ball and now stupid horsefeathers is happening way too much. Bryce Harper literally threw his bat down in frustration on a homer with the wind blowing out last year.

I mean to be fair he completely horsefeathers up that inning. For sure. It was horsefeathering stupid. Chatwood and who knows coming up. Q was fine and gave up a pop-up homer and then a run scored because an ump and Ian Happ are both blind. Horrible decision.
-
Cubs suck. Maddon sucks. Theo sucks. Window officially closed. Doomed forever.
-
Take Chatwood instead.
-
Somehow Q will settle down after that and shut them down the rest of the game.
-
I've got a fever and the only prescription is more Schwarber Dongs.
-
Calling them VBs isn't working. I'm going back to their full name of Vaunted Brewers. It's our only hope.
-
Q looks fantastic. I'm happy to see him finally working up in the zone.
-
He couldn't walk off on his own.
-
Chase Anderson is really bad but the VBs are still going to win.

What I'm trying to say is that this is all Chili's fault. http://www.reactiongifs.com/r/2013/09/it-was-him.gif

I've also noticed that he's moved back up closer to the plate -- almost immediately after I wrote that article. Remember from the article, he slugged .293 on pitches on the inner third last year, thanks to an 82.5 mph average exit velocity. At the time of the article, he was slugging .643 on such pitches, with a 91.1 mph average exit velocity. Since the article, his average exit velocity on the inner third is 77.8 mph. This is his only hit: http://mediadownloads.mlb.com/mlbam/mp4/2018/05/20/2061097983/1526776915866/asset_1200K.mp4 On the outer third and over the heart of the plate, Heyward had been fine -- his Slugging % was above league average last year on pitches there. Since the article, his average exit velocity on pitches over the heart of the plate and on the outer third is 91.4 mph and he has an xSLG of .617. Still fine there. But he is again completely helpless on the inner third. For a visual reference, here are some screengrabs from the article. From last year: From the start of this year: One day after my article: And last week: horsefeathering scoot back! Somehow:

.163/.236/.245 since I wrote this. I'll remember to include "Somehow" next time.
