    The pitch to Carpenter, he missed his spot by a long shot, but not often do you see a pitch located there inside-outed for a HR.

    I want to see him get stronger. I think he has the highest ceiling in terms of WAR in the organization. The swing is geared for lift but I'm hoping he can increase his swing speed and raise the 90th EV and we will see a lot more XBH. The fact that he's been able to put up a K rate like he has in August is actually pretty insane. It hasn't been all early-count contact/balls in play either. He's done a good job of working ABs into his favor. He'll never walk but he should be more of a 280 hitter when he's in his established years, I believe. Probably a 330 OBP is the highest to reasonably expect. Definitely a bit of Corey Patterson in his profile.

    Keep piping them right down the middle, Daniel.
  4. We Got The Whole 9
    Yet Wilson has been so blah that I'm more hopeful than ever we'll get a 4
  5. We Got The Whole 9
    That's not a struggling rookie dude
  6. We Got The Whole 9
    Pretty sound strategy against the Cubs. We just luckily scraped together 3 runs yesterday.
  7. We Got The Whole 9
    The rookie that has 8 AB this year?
  8. We Got The Whole 9
    They did it with Yaz and Wade too. They're pretty good at producing these guys. Wasn't Bailey a non-prospect also?
  9. We Got The Whole 9
    They have to get Dansby back to being at least a league-average hitter. 10 homers is pitiful.
  10. We Got The Whole 9
    Psh, needs to do it when it counts

    This is the only gif of Happy's caddy I could find but he reminds me of this guy with red hair for some reason. I never paid much attention to the clappers in the back but they make this gif so good lol Maybe we could have landed a guy that didnt take 4 years to reach the cusp, who knows. But Hoyer envisioned he would be a top prospect and an MLB starter and he looks like those. Elite raw power and clearly very patient, big time traits that are highly coveted. We need to see more pull-side power and it feels like his IFFB% could be an issue and weigh-down his BA. He's done a good job keeping the ball off of the ground but needs to improve the barrel consistency and avoid those easy outs. His rate over the last 3 years would lead the Majors, I believe. I love seeing how even his splits are, though, and his LD rate is great. But to me he doesn't feel like the type that will hit the ground running. I think it's gonna take 2-3 years.

    Shohei is really gonna go out there and add a 40/40 season to his resume. If he gets hot he could push a 50/50. He is absolutely unreal. And he only has 4 CS. He is the stuff of legend. I fully expect him to pitch better than ever under the Dodgers guidance as well.
  13. We Got The Whole 9
    He had been. That pitch was demolished.
  14. We Got The Whole 9
    Not watching but 2 incompletes and a grounding on 3rd in the first series for Caleb. Taylor with a 58 yard punt
  15. We Got The Whole 9
    Stick a fork in em already
  16. We Got The Whole 9
    Shaw has been completely overmatched so far.
  17. We Got The Whole 9
    Has anyone looked into the position player TJ epidemic
  18. We Got The Whole 9
    Swear to god sometimes it feels like teams should just throw waiver pickups at the Cubs all year. Boyd and Cobb don't pitch in over a year and come out and completely stifle us. This horsefeathers was pathetic.
  19. We Got The Whole 9
    Would've taken a 3rd. I think I'm fine with not being the team.
  20. We Got The Whole 9
    Keenan probably runs like a 4.7 or 4.8, but he manipulates defenders with the best of em, it doesn't matter. He will be a huge asset to Williams.
  21. We Got The Whole 9
    I feel like PCA has to lead our team in 100 mph BBE over the last 2 weeks. Possibly average batted balls distance as well.
  22. We Got The Whole 9
    Not suprised, annoyed AF
  23. We Got The Whole 9
    I still want him to start. I think he's a horse, the type whose velo won't diminish within a game. Keep working that splitter in and you could have something.
  24. We Got The Whole 9
    Sweat and Billings weren't even on the field and the OL was apparently getting abused constantly yesterday. That's concerning.

    What is 'real talent'? Track record? Stuff? Tools? Neris had all and he's been meh. Hader got huge money and has had one of his worst seasons. It improved over time but it started really rough. The Cubs are trying to develop their own guys (Adbert, Little. Bigge, Hodge) and they're also trying to refine unpolished guys, and have spent modestly on 'real talent' that often ends up being a poor investment. A lot of RP who signed the bigger contracts in the winter have been total JAGs. They largely outweigh the what about guys you want to point to. So many teams build the pen the same way. People thought Jed was an idiot for taking a chance on Leiter, for example. Nobody was excited when we picked up Merryweather, Robertson, and more. We got hyped over the Morrow signing and it looked solid for like a month. You just never know. Bullpens are extremely volatile from year to year.
