Stuff like Thompson trying to underhand after bobbling a slow roller is fluky, but a team playing Morel and Busch at the corners is not the same as the built-on-defense identity of the 2023 team, for better(offense) and for worse(defense). The baserunning thing I haven't even noticed a big issue with the decisions, in those close and late situations there's way more instances where you want to put pressure on the other team to make a play, and sometimes they make a play. -
they should overturn it just to try to break Mendoza's brain
-
You can't spell Damage without Nick-e Madrigal
-
Neris blowing away Nimmo/Marte/Martinez, just like we anticipated
-
TIL the helmet actually counts as an extension of your body if you're holding it on the base
-
Or have I been incepting you all for months?
-
lol and then Morel obviates it by hitting one to the moon
-
Most aggressive baserunning play I've seen from them this season, glad it worked
-
It's for this reason that I think you're looking at rentals or maybe a guy with 1.5 years to FA as a target, especially if that 1.5 years is on a FA deal that manages the prospect cost. The most 'premium' reasonable option probably being someone like Hunter Harvey?

Minor League Discussion & Box, 5-1-24
Transmogrified Tiger replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
It is cherry picking, but even if you take the logic to a further degree of accuracy I think it holds up. That strips out his two bad outings where he gave up 10 runs. But, if you only look at the first 10 hitters of those outings: 3 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 4/1 K/BB 2+ IP, 3 H, 3 R, 0/1 K/BB, HR So your new total for the season facing 10 or fewer hitters: 20.1 IP, 11 H, 8 R, 31/7 K/BB, 1 HBP, 2 HR -
That line was confusing, and hilarious because the crowd started erupting in cheers when he said confirmed. But it was very quickly clear as he finished the announcement he was calling him out and every Mets player and fan did one of these
-
Yeah you can give up first base a lot more times without getting burned. Weird as it is to say, Adbert has been very normal aside from the HR. Normally whatever root cause leading to the HR would have him giving up a bunch of other lasers all over the field, but so far nope, 5 HR, 7 1B, no 2B/3B
-
I think Neris will pick things up but this still got me
-
Bullpens giving up runs is not equivalent with them being terrible, trusting the pen to throw 2 innings after they used 1 reliever of note yesterday is fine.
-
ahahahahahahahahah
-
That's not conclusive, his hand goes wide and up
-
The bullpen is neither terrible or depleted, and Shota has to pitch again in 5 days when he's used to pitching every 6.
-
Decent pitching development and one of the best pitcher's parks in baseball 81 times a year.
-
Shota leads qualified pitchers in ERA by over half a run.
-
Of all the spiked throws, I'm actually fine with that one, even more than the average back hand you're at very high risk of sailing the throw so erring on the side of making it scoopable is okay. Another forehand that Busch struggled with, first one I've noticed where he couldn't get the glove on it.
-
He hadn't gotten hit particularly hard but wasn't completely cruising. I'm guessing that decision was a combination of things. 3-4-5 due up for the 3rd time, tie game, and a long stretch without off days so Assad has to bounce back on 4 days rest.

NL Central: Reds, Pirates and others

The Pirates just got swept by the A's and are now 3-13 since their high water mark of 11-5. -
Minor League Discussion & Box, 5-1-24
Transmogrified Tiger replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Carl has settled in a bit at Iowa, his line since his 3 BB first outing: 8 IP, 6 H, 1 R, 7/3 K/BB, 0 HR -

An open discussion about the state of the forums
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Not volunteering, but maybe there's a periodic 'state of the offseason' article that could be written/re-written on an interval to get double benefit of being a catch-all of non-newsworthy chatter while also providing the broader benefits we aim to get from articles in general?
