    Eh. Walk and K rates are still elite, xwOBA is over 100 points higher. Wasn't specifically trying to call out someone with a long injury history. Just the insanity of looking at a 10 game sample.

    Well, we all knew this day was coming eventually. But Ronald Acuna looks like he's becoming one of the worst outfielders in the game and a total deadweight on the Braves roster.
  3. squally1313
    Unfortunately there's not a lot of data that shows he's capable of doing that. Setting aside that we rode Cade Horton and his low K rate and unsustainable BABIP way past any thought out plan last year and hey, look how that went, maybe we should try it again with a guy who hasn't been as good.

    'Cubs fully expect this to be a minimum IL stint for Boyd. The issue has been in his recovery and they feel a little break will allow him to regain full health.' - Taylor McGregor per Twitter Reassuring, I guess, but probably raises more questions than it answers.

    FG has Assad as the corresponding move and he hasn't pitched since 4/2, so would be ready to go tomorrow and then...Rea on Wednesday? Going to need the bats to arrive, and quickly.
  6. squally1313
    This is almost certainly a dumb question but these are 9 inning games right? The 7.5 over under for the night game feels real low with shota on the mound

    Something that happens very frequently happens people with multiple thousands of message board posts a year try to score internet points by saying that they, at some point, tangentially predicted this Is very tiring
  8. squally1313
    Man, last year he at least waited until August before writing off a 92 win team. These are just facts guys.

    Ian Happ still sucks
  10. squally1313
    The other way to cope with this is to just lean into his pretty pedestrian projections and decide the drop off isn’t all that steep.
  11. squally1313
    Wow, congrats man
  12. squally1313
    Horton pulled in the middle of his 5th hitter after motioning for the trainer to come out. Colin Rea in.
  13. squally1313
    Well. That’s not good.
  14. squally1313
    Yeah I mean, splitting hairs. Arguments against that are that I just want Bregman getting more opportunities than Hoerner, and then in that specific arrangement you’re a little easier to pitch to because you can put in a RHP for 2-3-4 and not worry about the three batter minimum.
  15. squally1313
    If miles mikolas didn’t already hate all his teammates for, you know, reasons, he definitely does now.
  16. squally1313
    They aren’t Ohtani and Tucker, but they’re better hitters than PCA and Hoerner. If some hitters are going to get 5 PAs and some hitters are going to get 4 PAs, I want Busch and Bregman in that first group every time.
  17. squally1313
    I’ll just chime in here and say that I do, in fact, love my Hoerner Boner
  18. squally1313
    Yeah just to clarify, Tucker got $57m AAV (after discounting for deferrals). The number on the high end that's been thrown out here is $30.
  19. squally1313
    But the 'dangerous bat' had 32 less hits and 10 less walks than the glove first second baseman. In almost identical plate appearances (649 for Nico, 647 for PCA), PCA got on base 42 less times. Home runs are definitely nice. So is not making outs.
  20. squally1313
    The downside of trying to unlock more power out of Hoerner seems so much worse than the upside.
  21. squally1313
    Shaw for Skubal, please and thank you
  22. squally1313
    My bad, was going to soften that a little bit but thought it was coming through. No ill will intended.
  23. squally1313
    Skenes got himself into trouble and then O'Neil Cruz made sure it was absolutely maximized.
  24. squally1313
    They said a storm is coming in for a little bit and then the bad stuff in like 90 minutes. If you took the day off for this and that inning just happened and you saw the forecast, I don't blame you for thinking a Wrigley bar is the better option.
  25. squally1313
    Per usual, I'm going to blame Ian Happ
