Had to be this guy
-
I’d take a two run single and two stolen bases
-
Just don’t deprive us of PCA here man
-
Good work loser
-
This bunting thing is going great, woo small ball
-
Can we please take care of rajai Davis ok thank god
-
I’d be pretty pissed as a brewers fan if they ran Ashby back out for a full inning in his fourth appearance in 5 days, and uribe has appeared in the last two, so we might get a senzatela inning here at some point soon. good job by Civale, but to abuck’s point, this is pretty embarrassing.
-
I was just going to say this. It’s certainly frustrating but there’s also a little bit of like…satisfaction at them acting this way?
-
There’s just no way you can make a definitive call here
-
That seemed like a terrible jump and a perfect pitch to get him there too
-
lol PCA didnt steal a base for like a month and then he got to 40 HRs and suddenly he just auto goes on first pitch
-
Oh the super elite offense didn’t just roll over and die because the pitcher was good, weird
-
PCA is, per fWAR, the 49th best offensive Cubs player in history. He's leapfrogged Dansby and Seiya this year, passed by Contreras and Dawson, and with a consistent pace to finish the year, will move past Soriano and Jody Davis. Next year he's realistically looking at getting past Javy, DLee, potentially Happ. At his current pace he'll finish with 11 fWAR, which would be something like the 25th best offensive season of all time and put him in a tie with Hornsby for the best Cubs season of all time. Going off FG projections would get him to 10.6, which is roughly 35th best all time.
-
i realize i sound like a big loser mentioning this at this exact moment, but up to 9.9 fWAR for PCA, which is something like the 63rd best offensive season in baseball history
-
well that was all super fun.
-
lol of course
-
sure. why not
-
The offense/defense discrepancy usually ends up working out like the mariners series, so it’s nice to see it play out somewhat correctly in a one game sample size
-
The brewers have a 97 wRC against LHP, which is 13th in baseball. They’re the best team in baseball and we’re playing at their park. It’s probably going to be tough, regardless. Are there specific reasons why Shota is specifically bad against them or is this just small sample size recollections?
-
Are we really doing per opponent stats
-
The cubs should absolutely win this game and I hope they do but…Shota going 6 scoreless and then Civale coming in and (maybe) making a mess of it is very, very funny.
-
Shota. Game one starter.
-
Anyone making a ‘oh no the Phillies’ argument probably needs to explain the 100 run difference in the RD between us and them. Besides ‘well in the playoffs everyone else’s pitchers will pitch better but ours obviously won’t, that would be crazy’
-
What about the rest of the rosters
-
Sure. I think the bigger point of frustration on my end is that people's opinions on who is a good pitcher or not seemingly are based on their last start/appearance. Which isn't necessarily directed at you big picture, but pointing to his single last start is a little shaky. Remember when Gausman was a terrible acquisition? Boyd pitched well last start and Shota pitched poorly, so Boyd can start game 3 and Shota should stay home. Like, if we're going to do that, just put the conversation to bed for another 3 weeks and see how their last starts of the year go? Boyd has been as bad, if not worse, than Shota, in just about any substantial sample size this year. Shota has allowed more than 2 ER three times in his last 11 starts, and one of those was 6 IP, 3 ER, 10 Ks.
