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.

VB hitters: 3 BB, 12 K, 1 HR Mets hitters: 4 BB, 7 K, 2 HR VBs win by 1. The quintessential VB game.
-
Somehow the VBs are going to lose back-to-back games, too.
-
Holy horsefeathers, Theo somehow actually signed someone who's good.
-
Whenever Joe starts thinking about doing this we need to have someone remind him of all the wine he isn't drinking.
-
I'm OK if I only have to see him bat once per day.
-
Happ developing Schwarber-like discipline is great to see.
-
Good Carl, good to see you.

Somehow Kyle gives up no hard-hit balls, the Giants don't score, and the Cubs win 3-1, increasing their RD to +64. Before I changed this, Kyle faced one batter and gave up a fly out to the wall. Added in somehow... 3-1.

Kyle gives up no hard-hit balls, the Giants don't score, and the Cubs win 3-1, increasing their RD to +64. So all this somehow happens? Yeah, I better change that. We need a win.

NL Central: Reds, Pirates and others

Hmm, strange. I was told that Arcia is better than Addison Russell. -
Somehow Ding Dong will be starting the Game thread for Game 1 of the NLDS.
-
I'm ready to start a 23-game winning streak Friday. Let's do this. I'm predicting that Somehow Ding Dong leads us on an 8-game win streak.

Not even close to where I was when we were like 5 back right before this break last year. This is nothing. We got this. #wearegood

The Brewers offense sucks. Their starting rotation sucks. They've played an incredibly easy schedule. They haven't done all that well against it and instead have lucked into a much better record than their performance would indicate. The only time they've played anyone good -- us -- they got their asses kicked. Their bullpen has been unsustainably good, which has allowed them to outpace their actual performance. They've lucked into just so happening to have a fully rested Josh Hader for every 1-run game and allowing him to rest during all the blowouts. When the schedule picks up, they are going to go in the tank. They have too much trash on their roster to do this all year. They just aren't very good.

“Im going to be more positive.” *one loss later* “This is the worst thing that’s ever happened.”

"Time makes fools of us all" - The Kyle Schwarber Thread
Aaron_Kennelly replied to Sammy Sofa's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Somehow someone else is going to write about him and not curse him. -
538 is being duped by the frauds again, I see.
