1. It is 12 innings 2. All this does is counter the argument that Wilson has been unlucky, which no one is making 3. It is 12 innings and therefore is impossible to be predictive given Wilson's larger body of work 4. Sometimes I wish pitch f/x had never been invented 5. 12 innings -
I'm assuming that is why Schwarber didn't play much last weekend, he was too busy with the final preparations for the charity event right? That being the premise that Yellon responded to is almost as dumb as what he said.

There is a huge framing difference between them, and Lester probably benefits more from strong framing than any Cub SP.

Isn't Monty his replacement? Yes, it's likely to be Lackey, Montgomery, Hendricks over the weekend.

General Baseball Chit-Chat Thread

In early July, Aaron Judge hit home runs in 3 consecutive games, making this his season line: 357 PA, .330/.448/.701, 30 HR, 29% K%, 16% BB% Since then: 223 PA, .188/.354/.352, 8 HR, 35% K%, 20% BB% More on his drop off from Ben Lindbergh: https://www.theringer.com/mlb/2017/9/7/16266540/new-york-yankees-aaron-judge-second-half-slump -
Stanton's birthday is in November, and Rizzo has never homered on his birthday. The one streak in that vein that jumps to mind is Harper homering on Opening Day 3 straight years. EDIT: Trout has homered on his birthday in 4 of his 6 full years but never more than 2 consecutive.

Yes, the only way anyone but the Cubs win the division is if the Cubs go like 8-15 to end the year(and maybe not even then!), with an outside chance that one of the Cardinals/Brewers pass them by winning 5 or 6 of 7 head to head even if the Cubs go .500ish the rest of the way. In other words, winning this weekend's series functionally eliminates the Brewers. Do that, and winning next weekend's series will functionally eliminate the Cardinals.

On Freese? That was on the swing I thought.

Random In-season Musings and Rumors
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Post Count Padder's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
The Cards traded for Nicasio, but they aren't the team that claimed and blocked him from being traded in early August. -
Because Edwards is very good and hadn't really done anything wrong until the last hitter of the inning. Even if it's "bad luck" Strop is a better option than Edwards if they're both rested. I saw lots of dickshot fastballs even if they weren't squared up and that's because he's got about 20 command. Sometimes results matter. Edwards's fastball not getting squared up is not an accident, that's half his appeal. He's going to walk his share of guys, but he's also going to strike out a ton and be extremely hard to make solid contact on everything else. The guy has a .180 BABIP against as a major leaguer. Sure, sometimes broken bat singles happen, but that's the life of a reliever and not a flaw or something that would be predictive hitter to hitter.

Because Edwards is very good and hadn't really done anything wrong until the last hitter of the inning. 4 pitch walk, single, single is "nothing wrong?" 3 ball walk, shattered bat, shattered bat, K is nothing wrong

walk on 3 balls and two shattered bat singles, very very dumb

Bryan Price, not content to make a ridiculous mistake only once, sends Robert Stephenson out to start the 7th at 90+ pitches. Stephenson promptly gives up back to back doubles.

unjuice the ball

missing Brooks and Yedlin for this round of qualifiers is hurting a lot

Eugene postponed due to poor air quality. -
Game starts in a half hour Good: Acosta and Gonzalez, no more Ream Bad: Beasley over Villafana, not really sure Morris/Dempsey is better than Altidore/Wood [tweet] [/tweet]

Let's call it regressing to the mean. He had a 5+ ERA at AAA. Sure that's in Colorado Springs but he was still a 5+ ERA on the road thanks to an inability to throw strikes or keep the ball in the park. He's still a project.
