Honestly green light Madrigal, Gomes chances are limited to his walk rate -
The Cubs survive an inning of nonsense, and their reward is they get to play nonsense baseball
-
I am going to become the joker
-
Avoiding a strikeout 1 out of 10 times more often doesn't mean he's more likely to score the runner, especially given current form and the fact they're facing an elite RHRP.
-
Nick I know that elbow is probably sore but you gotta leave it in there man, channel your inner Amaya
-
Not sure I'm on board with the 'pull Morel in the late innings' bit when he's due up 7th and it's a tie game in the bottom of the 8th.
-
takes him longer to take a bathroom break because he stops and narrates everything that's happening in the hallway to and from
-
7 man pen if we think Wesneski is still starting, Brown and Thompson both probably down, so it's those two plus Alzolay to bridge to Leiter/Neris.
-
He gave up 7 baserunners in 5 innings, and a collective .158 xBA on contact. He gave up 3 balls over 90 mph, the first 2 hitters of the game, and the home run. Yes in a perfect world he keeps that contact management and cuts out some walks too, but they are related.
-
I don't see many red flags with this performance. He didn't give up loud contact, and put up a solid CSW% to limit his exposure to randomness. You could nitpick and as for one less walk or another GB or two, but there's nothing about that performance that says it can't happen again.
-
and then a .380 xBA HR that's out of less than half of ballparks, come on
-
xBA of .680, .580, .420, .350, and .690 two singles and 3 outs
-
If it were longer term maybe, but Dansby is expected to have a minimum stay so we're essentially talking a week. Also, Madrigal OPSed 1.192 in a brief AAA stint last year while Mastrobuoni was at .921, and Vazquez is down to .806 this year(.744 total in 538 PA).
-
Here's a fun game, one of these is Madrigal's season line in 56 PA, and the other is Bregman's in 154 PA: A: .201/.273/.266 B: .208/.250/.264
-
Cuas has been much better than either at Iowa, seems like he found the feel for the sweeper and is striking out nearly half of the batters he faces.
-
.970 xBA from Morel, cool coolcoolcool
-
-
Slider looks much better today, they were not picking it up well at all. Fastball got drilled twice, which is at least partially on him missing spots with it when he's normally pinpoint. I don't know if Adbert getting back to his 2023 form will be incremental, but if it does I think this is a marker in a positive direction.

If PCA played 81 games in PNC National Forest he might be a +25 defender

Inaccurate measurement. -
Nicky two strikes two outs

Baseball Savant Expands Statistical Offerings:
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Jason Ross's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I'm pretty sure I just heard Boog say on tonight's broadcast that Morel is 6th in MLB in swing speed, between Acuña and Judge IIRC. -
Taillon seemed pretty confident he could go, so I don't think he's gonna keep Brown on the shelf for the whole series just in case. I think you deal with that if you get bad news, which could mean Shota, bullpen game, or Hendricks, probably in that order.

Busch every time Morel turns to fire his way
