They seem to be seeing Imanaga well, lots of solid contact this inning -
And there’s the first run allowed by Imanaga (unearned but still)
-
Wow. Inches from 3-1 Mariners
-
Extremely routine play botched by Swanson and Busch to lead off the inning.
-
Damn, was really hoping Swanson could have scored on that hit and run hit edit: at least Nico brought him in
-
Feel like we’ve barely seen Imanaga with him being the 4th starter and only going 4 innings due to the rain delay (plus off days). May we actually have solid starting pitching tonight?
-
That’s one way to score a run
-
The Cubs offense has scored in just 2 of their last 29 innings dating back to Monday.
-
Make that 5 straight innings that the Cubs get a baserunner after 2 outs have already been made
-
Mariners have scored more than 5 runs in a game just once so far in their first 13 games. 4 so far today
-
This team is full of peaks and valleys, though I suppose that's what happens when 40% of your staff is injured. I know he's got good stuff and people have said hes getting unlucky so this may be a dumb comment but not particularly impressed with Wicks so far this year. He'll hopefully figure it out.
-
4th straight inning the Cubs have gotten a baserunner after the first 2 hitters in the inning make outs
-
44 pitches through 2 for Wicks. Not ideal. Gonna need to have some efficient innings to spare the bullpen from throwing 4+ innings
-
Morel double clutching before a throw across to 1st terrified me lol.
-
Of course, 1 strike away from getting out of it and he hits the batter
-
Ugh 2 on 0 outs edit: make that bases loaded 0 outs
-
Looking at the schedule, I didn't even realize this until now but the Cubs dont play their first division series of the season until early May. I know there are less divisional games now but that seems strange.
-
I just hope its not like when Theo and Co tried to get Starlin Castro to draw more walks and it ended up tanking almost 2 full seasons before he got back on track.
-
Cancelled my Apple TV+ subscription (for now) but it doesn't expire until the 16th. Good timing!
-
It's being talked about in 4 different threads now. My thread (The Juice is Squeezed), the celebrity death thread, for some reason the NFL draft thread, and now this one lol.
-
Of all the coaches Kentucky could have hired, he's certainly one of them.

Thanks for this breakdown. I understand that at his age its possible his command is faltering due to decline, but I can also recall times in the past when Kyle's command has faltered for a stretch and he's been able to correct it during the season. Has the movement/spin rate of his pitches also declined? Looking at those charts its alarming how off his command is, but hoping that the lack of velocity drop off is a sign that it's correctable. -

I think it’s the other way around. The Cubs will have trouble making the postseason due to depth issues/number of sucky player issues. But if the team makes the postseason they could go deep because of their hitting and some solid starters and 1-2 decent relievers. that said it’s a long season and there is plenty of opportunity to improve that depth -

Is it possible Jose Cuas isn’t good?
