I'm going to blame Windstream Internet in Lexington Kentucky for being real horsefeathers slow and pretend I had the thought first 🤣 But damn, we had the same thought! I just live in a sheltered world where only I could have a thought. Damn you @Bertz for thinking like a smart kinda guy.
-
It was 1908 who said that (😉) but being confused for @Bertz isn't a bad thing. Frankly, a compliment.
-
That's fine, but then when are you going to use Cuas to begin with? It's the mid-portion of the game, you *dont* have the bases loaded, and you have a hitter who is far worst against RHP. As I said in another post, this is the *exact* situation you have Cuas for, someone who is a designed righty-killer. We can ask a bigger question of "is Cuas the guy you want in that role?" But once you make the choice to roster Cuas...this is when you are going to use him.
-
Ump is really frustrating. A completely inconsistent zone.
-
Eh, considering he couldn't find a competitive pitch in 4 of his first 5 throws, asking Cuas to deal with a bases loaded situation probably wasn't a super great choice in and of its own right. Even with a better match up, Cuas had shown no reliability to throw 3 strikes. Rock and a hard place once Cuas was that bad off the bat.
-
Yes. Good decisions can result in bad outcomes. Just like bad decisions can end in good outcomes. Counsell is hired to weigh the outcome chances, not be a psychic. Going to Cuas makes sense process wise. That Cuas was completely worthless there was a Cuas issue and not a Counsell issue.
-
Cuas is on the roster for exact this spot. His side arm sweeper/fastball combo is a recipe to be a RHH neutralizer. Teo has 35+ points of wRC+ more against LHP, much worse against RHP. Cuas is built for that. Yeah, the control is an issue. But if you're going to roster Cuas, that's exactly when you deploy him. We can talk about his rosterability with the command issues, but that's a different discussion, IMO.
-
Finally throws a competitive pitch that Muncy tattoos. Awful result.
-
horsefeathers hell, Cuas. Thanks.
-
That was an awesome 4 and 2/3rds for Wicks when you take everything into account.
-
Add Freeman to the list. Damn keep going Jordan.
-
Wow. Great job Wicks!
-
Makes me feel justified I thought he absolutely hit that to the moon. Thank you, wind.
-
Michael Busch!!
-
Got him.
-
Phew! I thought that was long gone off the bat.
-
Happer!
-
I'll do some digging with TruMedia after the game! If it's really fascinating stuff it might have to wait a few days for a full article...but let me see what I can find.
-
Yeah, if he was 40 today, he probably would just miss. But being 31, the only reason he wouldn't get to 60-65 would be due to a tragic circumstance and he'd get in regardless due to the factors you mentioned. Betts will make the Hall in almost every conceivable future.
-
Just when you think "alright, we got a good lead on LAD" they remind you that they're the Dodgers and can score in a hurry.
-
Yes. Honestly, he's probably already there. 50-60 fWAR is your low-end-HoF career usually. At 31, he's at 56.8.
-
The adjustment Hoerner made mid-dive was insane to get that hop. Legitimately up for "play of the year" regardless of the next 155 games. It might not win, but it really might.
-
Pretty amazing to think of how rough the first inning was from a Cub perspective (Hendricks 30+ pitches, Happ iffy play in LF, looked awful against Miller) and where we are now in the top of the fourth.
-
Good to see him get off the ground quickly.
-
MOON SHOT BUSCH!
