Ahh Derek Law. Still appreciate his contributions to the Cubs 9th inning rally in Game 4 of the 2016 NLDS -
Maybe a good trust building inning for Keegan
-
Attaboy Seiya! Insurance
-
Is there something wrong with the mound today? I've never seen so many bouncing pitches in my life.
-
Merryweather does not look on today so far. That was like a 49 ft pitch
-
OK if this is the Palencia inning, I'm going to shut off the game and work for a bit. Really don't feel like the tension of a Palencia inning
-
I didnt think he hit a HR but i thought it was a hit off the bat
-
One way to get Amaya to continue swinging at pitches way outside is to call the ones he does take strikes
-
The Cubs havent had a 100 RBI season since 2018. Bellinger is now at 80 on September 1st
-
RBI machine Cody Bellinger!
-
Maybe....he's likely going to have to pitch some point today. Might as well have it be when the lineup is full of righties. Lets see if Belli and Dansby can give the next pitcher more cushion
-
Tied for the highest pitch count Wicks has ever had in a professional game I believe. Can't believe they got him through 5
-
He looks awful at the plate lately. 6 for his last 48 with 0 XBH. Still walking which adds value but his contact seems to always be weak as hell
-
Cubs get 3 hits including a HR in the inning and score 1 run blah
-
Thank goodness Bellinger hit 21, now I don't have to see that the Cubs HR leader is Wisdom (though technically he's still tied for the lead)
-
Belli bomb, wish Nico was still on base!
-
lol finally get a leadoff hitter and its a strike out/CS double play
-
When Wicks gets to 2 strikes today hes throwing a ton of pitches in the dirt that no one is ever going to swing at.
-
And De La Cruz walks on strike 3 Sucks too because hes only able to go 80 pitches or so. Even if he gets through the inning every extra pitch matters
-
I guess it wasn't just the Brewers pitching that was holding the Cubs offense down. It stinks right now.
-
That might have been the worst AB I've ever seen from Amaya. Swung at 3 straight pitches a good 6-8 inches outside the strike zone.
-
I swear every NL Central team hates Happ. Then I looked up the numbers. Career OPS: .798 OPS vs CIN: 1.040 OPS vs. PIT: .985 OPS vs. STL: .928 OPS vs. MIL: .739 So he basically crushes the rest of the Central in his career except for Milwaukee, but now he's starting to make up ground there too 2023 OPS: .781 OPS vs. PIT: 1.133 OPS vs. CIN: 1.057 OPS vs. STL: 1.038 OPS vs. MIL: 1.011 He is an NL Central tormenter
-
Don't be fooled by Ashcraft's season ERA, he's been on fire his last 11 starts with a 2.39 ERA and held opponents have a .669 OPS against him over that time span. He's gone at least 6.2 IP in his 5 starts too so he's pitching deep into games. His FIP over that span is in the high 4's though so its possibly he's getting extremely lucky, but 11 starts is a pretty good chunk of the season and his worst start in that span was when he went 7IP giving up 3 ER.
-
Hard to say which was worse, that game or the Scott Downs game a few weeks earlier
