DANSBY GETS A HIT WITH RISP -
This Happ thing is so difficult to get used to. I see his AB complete and I’m looking forward to Tucker due up not Dansby
-
xBA takes a look at what percentage of balls hit with a specific exit velocity and launch angle end up being hits. So if 100 players hit the exact same line drive as Dansby did his last AB, 57 of them would have gotten a hit. Mostly because a line drive hit that hard is really hard to get to unless it’s hit right at or near a fielder.
-
xBA of some Cubs outs today: Seiya’s out - .560 Busch’s out - .460 Brujan’s out - .380 Swanson’s out - .570 PCA’s out - .850 Busch’s out - .600 Nico’s out - .460 Kelly’s GIDP - .370 Cubs have the 6 highest exit velo’s today and 12 of the top 14
-
Hilariously large strike zone for the Cubs batters today. and more line drives hit right to people
-
FireJoeMorgan would have had a field day with you back in the day
-
Unlucky game so far…
-
In general sure but weird time to call it out when he hit a 104.3 mph line drive with a .570 xBA. Hardest batted ball in the game so far.
-
Promising start to the inning ruined by a 104mph line drive right to someone, a bad strike call that threw off Nico’s AB and whatever Brujan does
-
The other thing I like about this lineup is I believe the Yankees only have 1 lefty in the pen and he pitched an inning yesterday so probably can’t go long today.
-
2nd straight game I’m listening to the Bleacher Creatures do their role call with the Yankees already losing lol
-
Busch really is Anthony Rizzo reincarnated
-
At a minimum I want to make the NLDS. It’s been 8 years since we’ve been. Obviously we can easily win the Wild Card round but definitely much more of a crapshoot
-
They definitely won't play 116 win baseball all year but they now have the 2nd best RD in the NL and 4th in baseball and are 17-7 against +.500 teams during their run. They're a good team. But I generally agree that the Cubs have the ability to improve themselves more than the Brewers and that they'll slow down to some degree.
-
Believe the Brewers are now 30-12 in their last 42. Basically playing at a 116-46 pace for over 25% of a 162 game season. At least the Cubs are guaranteed to at least be in a tie for 1st at the ASB
-
Nats got a big 2 run HR to take a 1 run lead over the Brewers in the 8th, however Brewers have 2 on and 1 out so
-
Doesn’t seem that bad. 8th in xFIP over the last 14 days. The actual FIP is 22nd though so a bit unlucky
-
Please don’t have to get Palencia up
-
3 outs, 0 runs and 14 pitches away from a Maddux for Boyd edit: but I have a feeling Craig will pull him
-
Boyd has celebrated making the ASG by throwing 11 shutout innings, giving up 5 hits and 1 walk
-
Geez. Judges out had a .950 xBA, hit 109.3 mph, went 409 feet and is out in 24/30 parks
-
But they really haven’t fallen off THAT hard Last 7 days: 107 wRC+ Last 14 days: 99 wRC+ Last 30 days: 100 wRC+ maybe by level off you mean going from very good to average, which if so that’s fair. But like here are some other NL contenders wRC+ vs LHP over the last 30 days: NYM: 58 SFG: 58 STL: 67 (BTW MIL leads all of baseball at 144)
-
87 wRC+ against all LHP since that 5/24 date. But 100 over the last month, so clearly a dip and then improvement.
-
I'll take a leadoff triple
-
They have the 2nd highest wRC+ against LHP in the NL this year.
