    I've said this before but after reading comments from switch-hitters who tried it, the transition may not be as viable as it seems. He'd likely be atrocious LvL too.
  2. We Got The Whole 9
    If Amaya's arm never improves I would cut bait after the season, regardless of how well he frames and works with pitchers. You cannot have a guy who autmotically puts runners in scoring position like that IMO,
  3. We Got The Whole 9
    You just horsefeathers KNEW that was coming. Amaya cannot be so useless behind the plate.
  4. We Got The Whole 9
    Baserunners are now 32/37 stealing bases vs Amaya. This is a huge weakness of the team. Any walk or measly single almost guarantees a runner at 2nd. Now Leiter feels pressure and throws a wild pitch.
  5. We Got The Whole 9
    That's a horrible reason to swing at a pitch you won't do damage on. Thank you, Seiya!
  6. We Got The Whole 9
    YOU NEVER HAVE TO SWING ON 1-1.
  7. We Got The Whole 9
    Why the horsefeathers are you swinging at that pitch on 1-1, Chris? You guys are just horsefeathers stupid. Play right into their hands.
  8. We Got The Whole 9
    More hard hit flyballs to hang our hats on
  9. We Got The Whole 9
    Saw that coming a mile away.
  10. We Got The Whole 9
    Should be bases loaded no outs, although that never turns out well for us anyway.
  11. We Got The Whole 9
    What the horsefeathers are you swinging at, Cody? That was a cutter, from a RHP, in the waste zone, up and outside. Just dumb.
  12. We Got The Whole 9
    The Ortiz double was 72 MPH but horsefeathers they make it look a lot easier than we do to get base hits
  13. We Got The Whole 9
    The Braves converted the infamous David Fletcher into a knuckleballer and he dominated the vaunted Norfolk Tides lineup last night lol. 5 IP he threw 80% strikes and posted a 6:1. Ain't that some horsefeathers.

    Thinking they rushed Seiya back. Presumptively gonna say they did because they always do stupid horsefeathers like that. 55 bat since his return, 2 XBH and both were in the same game. He again looks like a deer-in-headlights. It's pretty amazing how hot/cold the dude gets. They have to get him right. I'd be down to give Wisdom some starts at 3B too. Morel is really bad and provides negative value if he's not mashing. I'd put: C - I guess Amaya because he can actually frame a pitch, though he's useless elsewise. 1B - Bellinger 2B - Nico SS - Swanson 3B - Wisdom LF - Happ CF - PCA RF - Tauchman DH - Busch
  15. We Got The Whole 9
    I think you missed the update
  16. We Got The Whole 9
    Usually gonna sit on the shelf for a bit with that. I wouldn't be surprised if he's shut down til after the ASB.
  17. We Got The Whole 9
    Plenty of teams are using the same strategy and getting far better results. The Cubs just still pretty much suck at developing bats at the MLB level. You needn't look much further than the Brewers. While they do have Yelich, the rest of the guys there are not stagnating and entirely feeble in this era of high heat and freakish breaking balls, and they have largely overperformed their expectations from their prospecting days.
  18. We Got The Whole 9
    Man I would never have imagined it going so poorly once he got promoted to Iowa. What a bummer.
  19. We Got The Whole 9
    Yeah I doubt they care much. Amaya is running a CS% (14!) that is on par with his awful offense and I haven't heard any mention of them potentially exploring that part of the market. The C production this year makes the 1B production from last year look fantastic.
  20. We Got The Whole 9
    They have not been fooled at all. I just feel like they flat out prepare at a higher level than we do.
  21. We Got The Whole 9
    You got a 3-1 and you swing at a cutter in the shadow zone at your knees, Christopher?
  22. We Got The Whole 9
    They may be waiting for ISO gains. He's controlling the zone well and that's the next step in the progression.
  23. We Got The Whole 9
    Not if you're only focused on offense, sure. However, by WAR, it surely can. Just last year Swanson and Nico barely had above-average offense and both were top 30 position players. Andres Giminez was a 4 war player with a below-average bat. If PCA plays a full season and hits league-average, he could be a 5 win player. His defense is that valuable, and he should provide a lot of value on the bases as well.
  24. We Got The Whole 9
    Jeremiah Estrada set an MLB expansion-era record striking out 13 consecutive hitters and counting. The old record was 11. What annoys the most is that this was a guy who clearly needed a little more seasoning but it was well-documented that he had a unicorn pitch and the Cubs simply cut bait far too soon.
  25. We Got The Whole 9
    The no stress blowout W that we have been needing for weeks
