Good road series win, let’s hope shota is ok, excited to see Horton
-
I’m saying he’s fine as a backup first baseman getting the short end of a platoon because, even with those exit velocities, he was comfortably an above average hitter in a very large sample size of PAs last year (and also all those other years before that).
-
I know 40 is a number that ends in zero and so people make generalizations about it but it kinda changes the narrative when he was an above average hitter at ages 37, 38, and 39
-
Alternatively, consider a sample size larger than periodic starts over 30 games
-
Weird how that happened thought he was dead
-
Quintana is a mirage and the cubs are otherwise a much better team.
-
You can tell how good or bad the cubs are doing based on who is the whipping boy for the fans. When it’s just your typical .500 team, it’s the shortstop who gets 4+ wins a year. When they’re playing really well, it’s the backup first baseman with a 120 wRC in each of his last four seasons. Real first world problems going on right now.
-
I mean, we probably have a pretty good idea that they're good. Lindor, Soto, Alonso aren't some up and comers riding hot streaks.
-
Hot take: The Brewers are part of an easy two series stretch. Quinn Priester and Jose Quintana tomorrow and Saturday are two bad pitchers.
-
Series win on the road when going up against two top 15 pitchers in baseball YTD, outscored them in total by 13 runs. Will take it every time. Happ finally gets to play a central team and hey, what do you know, wRC up to 117 on the year. You guys all really hate Dansby huh
-
Seiya .999 OPS
-
To be fair, the pace of the Cubs offense in the last 5 games would have put them 16th in all of baseball last year, so this isn't some crushing slump they've been in.
-
Well that was all very dumb and depressing and bad. Hope he’s ok and everyone else is mentally alright. Go beat Skenes tomorrow.
-
Right center I believe. So maybe half that?
-
I don’t know enough about the dimensions of the stadium walls but from the commentary and the looks on everyone’s faces it seems pretty bad
-
Game is less stupid
-
Time to drop Tucker to the bottom of the lineup this is ridiculous is Craig asleep or something
-
You can't knock his consistency (at least 2 fWAR every year from 2001-2013). But PCA has 4.7 fWAR in the 153 games he's played this year and last year, and that matches Hunter's best year. Don't mind this one. Couple years over 5 fWAR, had some wild defensive swings that PCA can probably better but also it seems pretty unlikely PCA gets to 300 HRs.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes, 4-30-25
squally1313 replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Moises up all night last night stewing at the NSBB Minor League forum. "motherfucking James Loney??" -
I promise that if we continue playing at a 97 win pace, it won't matter whatsoever what the rest of the Central teams do.
-
This pitcher is bad and the Pirates are bad against lefties and in general and we should win comfortably.
-
Whatever he's done in the last week (beyond the obvious) has been huge. Feel like a week ago he had an xwOBA of like .300 and now it's up to .324 on FG and .343 on Savant. Still overperforming, but .340s is basically Ian Happ at the plate, before considering his all world defense and baserunning. LIke, Willy Adames put up a .342 wOBA and 4.8 fWAR, and Pete tripled his baserunning value and doubled his defensive value last year.
-
Really the novel concept is just playing bad baseball teams. Not having to get through Carroll/Marte or Ohtani/Betts at the top of the order every time makes it easier to prevent runs, who knew.
-
Our normal 8 hitter got moved to 4th and hit a home run. Our normal 5 hitter got moved to 8th and hit a home run. Our normal 3 and 7 hitters stayed in their spots and hit home runs. It doesn't matter.

Andrew Heaney was the 13th best pitcher in baseball going into tonight.
