Last year followed a similar cadence, one of the reasons the offense didn't really click until July(aside from Schwarber) was that Wrigley played huge until later in the year than normal. Last year's Cubs averaged 3.2 runs per game at home in April/May/June and 4.7 runs per game in July/August/September. Considering that this year's Cubs are currently averaging 5.2 runs per game at home(6.1 on the road), that bodes very poorly for opposing pitchers. -
Julio Urias Getting the Call
Transmogrified Tiger replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
He did have cosmetic surgery on his eye so he could open it wider, I believe, but the overwhelming reason his workfload has been so light has been an abundance of caution from the Dodgers. BBRef doesn't have pitch counts for all his games, but in those they do have he's never cracked 90 pitches, and his high this year is 82. -
I'm tapping out a lot earlier than that listed package for a reliever, even one as good as Betances. Ken Giles is a fairly recent reminder of the line all of them walk, and gutting the top of the farm system for one(especially in our current state where the back end of the pen is quite good) isn't worth it for me.

Why would the Padres trade Pomeranz?

General Baseball Chit-Chat Thread
Transmogrified Tiger replied to David's topic in General Baseball Talk
Yes but they easily could have gotten him in the Garza deal the week before and probably were more familiar with him due to scouting the system for Garza-specific purposes. Also that was a very serious post. -

COUNTERPOINT Archer: 10.6 fWAR in 103 starts, currently leaking command on the path to arm surgery like a junker car leaks oil Hendricks: 6.1 fWAR in 53 starts, only looks like a ventriloquist doll from *some* angles -
Isn't Kellyn Acosta in that mix too? He just got called in as a defender, right?
-
This is my first real look at Bobby Wood. Is his first touch normally Zardes-bad?
-
Is Fontenot terminal in that picture?

RING HIM UP

tommy that was ball 4

I have complained about Jake's BABIP luck, so I have to admit that all 3 of Zobrists hits have been at least somewhat fortunate.
-
To be fair, without the error he has a scoreless inning with 1 baserunner.
-
I mean seriously, is there a jet stream in right center? Neither of those home runs should have traveled 400 feet

For those who can't watch, the Molina HBP [tweet] [/tweet]

my man
-
why even have Bucknor behind the plate if he's not going to make himself the center of attention and call Molina out for that
-
It's getting a bit absurd now. It's one thing to give up bloop base hits, it's another to be giving up such weak contact that you can't get the lead runner or even the hitter several times in 5 innings.
-
Wong swung 3-0 and popped up, the injury delay was Russell having an issue with his contacts.
-
Jake getting BABIP'd for a few runs was bound to happen eventually, yes. Nothing wrong with his stuff today.
-
how many balls have been hit hard today, 3? all bloops and groundballs except for the two XBH
-
how in the world did that carry
