  1. I hate this ****** offense so horsefeathers much right now.
  2. Man Seiya's oblique injury looks to have sapped his ability to hit again. He's been horsefeathers awful.
  3. The Brewers position players are so much better than ours so far that it's disgusting.
  4. I'd like to know what happened to these guys that prevents them from being able to hit a slider. They are the worst team vs sliders when last year they were 5th, for instance. 2023/2024 FB - 21st w/ 2.0 runs above average / 21st with -8.6 Cut - 3rd with 14.0 / 4th with 9.0 Split - 7th with .01 / 19th with -1.2 Sink - 10th with -4.5 / 23rd with -7.9 Change - 8th with 17.5 / 16th with 1.3 Sliders - 5th with 11.9 / 30th with -16.0 Curve - 22nd with -8.4 / 12th with 2.3
  5. I honestly don't know if not starting Morel is a bad move. Do you just wait for the tide to turn with his stats/xstats? If he doesn't absolutely mash he's pretty much not helping the team.
  6. Au contraire; the opps might not have an ace-up-each-sleeve, but they likely have a Bailey Falter or a Smith-Shawyer, etc. Tired of the excuse. The Cubs haven't really hit anybody for several weeks.
  7. His ERA is 2.05 after getting beat up a bit today. The Rockies of all teams brought that K% down a little.
  8. Letting a dude go out there and strike out half the time for a month
  9. That move by Counsell is a really weird one. Not a fan at all. Why not let Brown face Kelenic and put in Wesneski for the eighties that were to follow.
  10. Probably the last time you didn't complain in a post
  11. I was coming to comment on that, saw the box and did a double take. Lit up the zone, apparently only threw 77 pitches, 54 for strikes. Definitely looks like a guy despite his age and profile. Somebody the Cubs want to get a good look at. The funky delivery actually looks effortless. I'm intrigued.
  12. Fg had an article on Fried recently highlighting how often he no-hits his opponents. I believe the last time the Cubs scored a run off a lefty was the 10th. We have been absolutely manhandled since and we've faced several.
  13. Probably happened on that missed diving catch
  14. PCA just hit one to the warning track in dead center. Just missed one.
  15. P|icks up his 6th K to escape the jam
  16. And an IF single that BJ Murray saved from being a double down the line
  17. You said yourself: look at what he did to MiLB hitters and look at the tools playing against MLB hitters. To be frank, they're not. And I question how much value he will bring to the pen this year even though I was a big proponent of Little's all through last year and I have never advocated against him getting opportunities. I'm not sure he has the command to be the dominant guy he was in MiLB. It's an objective fact though that Jed hasn't acquired a significant LHRP since Justin Wilson. On the topic of us giving up too soon on RP, Jeremiah Estrada certainly looks like a horrible move.
  18. You can probably live in the 10-12 BB% range, but Little is over 17. 2 of the top 30 have a higher rate. He also has 3 WP and 3 HBP in 12 IP. 16 free base-runners in 12 IP is awful. And to boot he has a sub-20 K rate, 25% oswing, and 76% contact rate. Maybe you didn't actually kinda already know?
