2.90 ERA in 93 innings for Horton. Should do.
-
They’ll just move on to the next guy to horsefeathers talk.
-
Happy (re)learned how to putt
-
(Reverse jinx attempt) Hortons September arm injury is going to be, by far, the most devastating part of the season
-
lol he might be our game one starter he’s so good
-
Look how good Matt Shaw has been (in the second half) (getting starts against optimal pitchers). What if we put him in less advantageous situations? Surely the fan base wouldn’t turn on a guy for performing worse than previous output
-
Cubs win, Tucker and PCA dongs, seiya with multiple top and exit velocities. Good night for the squad.
-
Eh, I mean, it’s Ohtani and trea Turner ahead of him and Turner has two separate months in 700 range of OPS. Ohtani is elite offensively but hasn’t done much pitching wise and is otherwise a DH. There’s not some runaway case. I agree it’s probably a long shot but PCA on a hot streak the rest of the year (and the cubs finishing with a better/even record to LAD/philly) gives him a legit shot.
-
The PCA situation is weird because like, he should keep playing, obviously the potential is there but the floor with his defense and baserunning is so high. But he should probably just be the 8th or 9th hitter, and maybe long term he’s just. 7th hitter, but he did so horsefeathers good in the first half that he’s still third in the NL for offensive fWAR and has a still somewhat legitimate shot at MVP, and it feels like either giving him a breather or dropping him to the bottom of the order would take him out of those conversations immediately.
-
Adding a fairly obvious comment that Kyle Tucker is in no way responsible for the players that were traded for him, so having that be a factor for all the vitriol he's been getting makes less than zero sense.
-
Yeah believe their expected stats are driven predominantly by exit velocity, launch angle, and then occasionally sprint speed, so takes the park factor out of it completely.
-
Assuming I did this right on Savant, here's what I have for Suzuki since 7/15 (which is essentially the ASB). Short answer: it looks really good.
-
Simply put, Owen Caissie is the backup outfielder. Putting up a .690 OPS in his first 18 PAs doesn’t change that fact.
-
No, because there are very different and public facts and circumstances behind Kyle Tucker sitting for three games in a row. Does there really need to be justification for the starting DH starting at DH
-
But that's not what happened. He didn't start Seiya because of 8 ABs over a three year period. He started Seiya because Seiya is a very good hitter and is statistically more likely to perform than Owen Caissie.
-
well that somehow didn't work
-
eh....blowing the opposite way, hard, maybe, but just 91.7 off the bat, and you could tell Happ knew he missed it
-
JD is covering it now, but Ashby is unavailable and Koenig has pitched two of the last three, and I've yet to see them go 3 in 4 this week, so they might not have it as an option.
-
really don't love the reach there by Tucker, his eye at the plate is about all he has going for him right now. essentially icing PCA here, needs to make sure at least one gets in during his PA
-
Guys Tucker is just targeting their worst defender, it's smart baseball
-
Very back of the math calculations but believe 2nd half Wrigley games are averaging 6.8 runs total, and the league average on team runs per game is around 4.4, so we're 2 runs below average. Obviously a small sample size but Wrigley is playing like the biggest pitchers park in history over the last month.
-
Stop letting Joey Ortiz appear even marginally competent at baseball
-
41 pitches through 2 is the smallest of silver linings
-
There's the Andrew Vaughn all my white sox fan friends know so well
