Hm, how did he even do that with that scowl on his face
-
Cubs relievers have the 6th best K rate, 7th worst walk rate.
-
Thanks, I was being lazy and kept waiting for FG to update their numbers, which explains my weird mishmash of stats. Still though, I distinctly remember saying things like ‘how hard can it possibly be to find an 820 guy and teach him first base’ and it turns out…pretty hard! Also nice (in a bad way) that we’ll be paying him roughly $47 a year for a while.
-
Was a nice recovery from morel there but it’s a pretty fitting time to mention that Matt Chapman would be leading the cubs in offensive fWAR
-
Busch is a good example of how broken baseball in general is in that he’ll end tonight with an OPS probably just under .800, which my dumb baseball head thinks is like, the bare minimum of acceptability for a first baseman, but he’ll also end up essentially tied for 4th among all qualified first basemen for wRC.
-
Heliot Ramos is doing something ridiculous like leading all NL outfielders in WAR even though he’s only played like 40 games.
-
Bellinger with a garbage swing on 1-0 and then hitting the ball 215 feet didn’t help anything.
-
The bonus outside corner that hicks got all last inning has seemingly disappeared
-
Wait, you absolutely send him there right? If the fly out was the first out, sure. But he definitely had a better than…35% chance of being safe there.
-
There’s some real tedious argument on if the ball is in the mitt or not
-
Guess that’s the 1% of hard hit ground balls where the defense wasn’t perfectly positioned
-
These umps are so horsefeathers tiresome
-
Yeah good call. Haven't see the exact tweet but rough comparison on my end has about even OBP (.315ish) and Swanson putting up like 40-50 points of slugging so far over Heywards first two years (total). At a more important defensive position, and then 2016 and 2017 league wide had .739 and .750 OPS while 2023 and 2024 have .734 and .701 (jesus something is broken). This is Dansby's worst year in a while. He has 0.9 fWAR which is better than Heyward's full season Cubs debut and 0.1 off his next season. Swanson has 5.6 fWAR with the Cubs, Heyward gave us 7.1 total in 7 years. These are not the same thing.
-
Yeah but what if I weirdly chop up his game logs and create a split that shows him in the least flattering light possible
-
Why would we be comparing their first 200 ABs now that we have almost 900 PAs for Swanson? Through Heywards first two years he had a 79 wRC and had provided 7.9 of FG defensive value. Dansby in his Cubs career has a 98 wRC and has provided 24.4 of FG defensive value.
-
Yeah no we get it
-
Do you guys like baseball
-
Is it time to trade Bellinger?

Sure, that’s fair. I meant not terrible in the way you’d say like, Chris morel hasn’t been terrible, though the actual results have been. The runs definitely happened, can’t do anything about those, the advanced stats suggest it won’t happen at that rate going forward. -
that's honestly the javy game 1 HR minus like 4 feet
-
hahahahahahahahahahahhahaa my horsefeathers god
-
would have maybe gone Bote there?
-
lol of course
-
First pitch off the plate, called a strike, Amaya chases the slider that starts in the same spot. Lol might have just gotten it back though.
