A very juiced ball inning -
That is a bad, bad 3-0 swing, Willson
-
Just came back for me. I love Len and JD, but the ballpark sound ambience is pretty cool too.

Hard hit balls going for hits doesn’t seem like a lucky thing to me. Except that when the Cubs hit screaming line drives right at fielders, we cry about bad luck, so..... Yes, there exists a place between bad and good luck called normality
-
By my count that was Davis’s 7th at bat of the game
-
They didn’t even have anyone covering first base Also, that’s how you slide into the plate Rajai Davis

I think this is a hate crime

Minor League Discussion & Boxes, 4-24-18

Bailey Clark doing some good work as a multi-inning reliever: 14.1 IP, 12 H, 2 ER, 19/3 K/BB, 1 HR As a 23 year old with 5th round pedigree, wonder how long til he goes to Myrtle Beach if that keeps up. -
Kinda surprised that this hasn’t happened to Kapler yet.

I think he might’ve gotten him? Doesn’t look like enough to overturn. Either way, Davis made it a close play with a bad path and worse slide. Conditions don’t help, but that was not good.

Always good when a pitcher fields a bunt and your immediate reaction is “I hope he knows where this throw is going” Also good when the answer is emphatically “he doesn’t”

#Mekkeswatch 1 perfect IP, 2 K For the season: 7.1 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 10/5 K/BB -
wow bryant hit a curveball for a home run what are the odds
-
I don't know if that's why, but the Cavs are playing across the street Tuesday night. Their game starts at 7:00 Eastern.

The best current example is Mike Trout, no? i would say mookie betts is closer but neither has quite the SB totals and both have more power (trout much moreso) correct, both would technically qualify, but what I was getting at is the aesthetics of the player I have in mind, which is more of a leadoff hitter than a middle of the order powerhouse. If you're hitting more home runs than say, Dexter Fowler, you're a power hitter that happens to run fast. It's an arbitrary distinction, but I'm talking about the aesthetics of players I like so I'll draw the lines where I like. Lofton is a near-perfect avatar of that player.

I don't have an opinion on the hall of fame but I wish there were more players in his mold in this era, high OBP speedy OFs. I can even take or leave the stolen base aspect but it seems like anyone who's fast also happens to suck at getting on base. The best current example is Altuve, but he's in his own class. Outside of that...Brett Gardner? Benintendi? The good versions of Starling Marte or Odubel Herrera? It's a disappointingly small group.

The Cubs lead the NL in wRC and are 1 run off from the lead in runs. They've also been HBP a weird number of times, their 21 leads MLB by a fair amount(the White Sox are 2nd with 16). The heart of the order(Bryant 7, Rizzo 5, Contreras 4) have been HBP as many times in 225 PA as any other combined team(which range from 700-825 PA).

He could also gain velocity. -
I can’t believe they ended the game on that overturn They absolutely should have, but I would’ve put money on them chickening out like that Javy play a year or two ago
-
To be clear, the point I’m making is not ‘ah yes this is all going according to plan’, but rather that it’s more likely a combination of factors(a dash of building up endurance, finding the right pitch mix with a new team, April weather, etc) that are not likely to be an ongoing problem. The Arrieta-esque lack of pitch economy is probably here to stay though, I’d guess.

ALBERT DON’T DIE

That is some really good hitting by Willson, once he got to 2 strikes he was looking for that frisbee slider and just fighting off anything hard/inside

Gleyber Torres Getting Called up to the Bigs
Transmogrified Tiger replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
sometimes with guys scouted favorably that's enough to portend semi-stardom: Lindor, DiDi, Albies... Those guys have much louder tools than Gleyber though. Torres has jumped up lists due to an absence of glaring weaknesses and extreme youth for his level, not because he has any particular future strength.
