    Koji's gonna be 55 and striking guys out with a 75 mph heater and a 60 mph splitter
  2. Transmogrified Tiger
    Tough luck for Duensing, only deserved to give up maybe one single
  3. Transmogrified Tiger
    AND HOW
  4. Transmogrified Tiger
    Williams, Morrison, and Bloomquist, it's Pitchability Day.

    Mekkes with some walks but still: 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 3/2 K/BB That brings him to this line for the season: 7.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 11/4 K/BB This concludes MEKKESWATCH for the day.

    Sometimes pictures say a lot of words, but as we all know I'm a style over substance guy. If you'd prefer more words, I've spent most of today in airports after a week of work travel that minimized my time for the Cubs, and even I noticed you're a bit quick on the doom trigger, although thankfully not in the shrieking manner of some other prominent doomtellers.

    Tons of soft contact (3rd most) and they are pull-happy (2nd most). Not a good combo for hitting baseballs. I think I can count on my hands the amount of hard hit balls Bryzzo have hit. http://www.themarysue.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/crisis-alert.gif

    Jeff Sullivan's chat is always a great read, this week is especially good. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/jeff-sullivan-fangraphs-chat-41417/

    3 innings to go 4 run lead rondon unavailable davis can't go more than 1 Montgomery probably unavailable coral is the best reliever Not sure it's related but it's possible they knew Carl was going on bereavement list today, so they got the extra inning out of him, forcing him to bat, yesterday knowing he'd be gone for a few days. I thought of that when I saw the tweet too. I guess if it wasn't a pressing thing where he had to leave right away it would make sense to say 'you're going 30 pitches or 2 IP today, whichever comes first'.

    I'm a little surprised Baez is in the lineup over Jay, considering Cole's huge splits: But I guess the infield defense with Hendricks on the mound is pretty important too.

    why is coral hitting with 2 men on and 2 out
  15. Transmogrified Tiger
    i really should like him more than i do...it just feels like he's been around for so long and it's impossible to believe he's only 23. like i gave up on him being anything very good a while ago. The good news is that historically he's been garbage in April/May, so if current trends hold he'll be OPSing about 2.500 by August.

    [tweet]https://twitter.com/iowacubsgameday/status/852577206798884864[/tweet] For a bit of calibration, the 16 team PCL had 24 players with an OPS over 1.000 entering play today.

    The Cubs have to balance two of the strengths that make them incredibly successful: Out of this world defense, and a patient offense that grinds pitchers to dust. Almora and Baez help a lot with the former, but probably are never going to be all that great at the latter, even if they're good players. Zobrist isn't going to help a ton with the former, but he's incredible at the latter(and probably the best hitter on the team outside Bryant/Rizzo/Schwarber). This is not really much of a problem though, as the odds of the season progressing without any of Rizzo/Bryant/Russell/Schwarber/Heyward needing days off or getting hurt are not very high, and then you have no logjam outside of Jay(who is nice, but who cares if he's benched),

    A telltale sign not to click a link.
  19. Transmogrified Tiger
    if Dave Roberts, proud owner of 'babby's first manager job', can figure out to use the closer on the road in 9th+ inning ties, I'm only gonna get more irritated when Joe doesn't
  20. Transmogrified Tiger
    Javy v. a RHP who throws 90% sliders seems like a matchup destined for failure, hopefully he can split a gap and not try to do too much
  21. Transmogrified Tiger
    They share a league with the Twins so hard to keep up with that dominance.
  22. Transmogrified Tiger
    MEKKES MEKKES MEKKES 3 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 5/1 K/BB In other personal favorites, I'll take these results(unlucky ER aside) from Bloomquist every time: 5 IP, 6 H, 3 ER, 5/0 K/BB
  23. Transmogrified Tiger
    Last I saw they were going to give him 2 weeks rest, that was around opening day.
  24. Transmogrified Tiger
    using Davis here is silly
  25. Transmogrified Tiger
    why don't you hit it harder next time, Russell
