He was 3-4 last game and an .830 OPS over his last 22 games, which I used arbitrary endpoints to try to make his recent stretch start at a point that makes his recent hitting look the worst.
Fielding though...
Depends on how many innings Peralta gets through. Outside of PCA hitting a pitch above the strike zone for a HR he’s been pretty locked in.
47 pitches through 3, so probably on pace for around 6 IP
Are they just gonna let Taillon eat it today and accept a loss? Even his outs are hit really hard
xBA on the outs he’s gotten today:
.150
.280 (GIDP)
.590
.220
.490
.630
Maybe, but the Brewers could really use this game. I’m guessing they’d rather pitch their better more proven pitcher who has historically dominated the Cubs and push their rookie back to Friday
horsefeathers I meant Coors. Baseball Savant had that as a HR at every park except Coors. My bad. But yeah that does seem wrong since it’s 415 to dead center and that was nowhere close to dead center.
If this game was played at Yankee Stadium or the Yankees minor league park (Steinbrenner Field), Tucker would have had 3 HRs today. If the game was played at the Brewers stadium, Tucker would have 2 HRs and Seiya 0.
The is the first time the Cubs have ended the night 6+ games ahead in 1st since the last week of the 2017 season.
the most games up they’ve been since 2016 is 7 games.
