  1. Nothing but LHP thrown at us this series and they have completely vanquished us.
  2. I would start fining Madrigal for every batter ball over 20 degrees
  3. That's more stark than I expected it to be
  4. Totally expecting him to walk like 5 guys in his first outing with the Cubs
  5. He's in between, they said. Most likely he's in his head now and everything has snowballed. I don't see him breaking out of it any time soon.
  6. Could not be more disappointed in Happ right now. He's just trash.
  7. Outstanding AB by Morel. Don't horsefeathers ruin it, Ian.
  8. He'd have 2 homers tonight in Wrigley wouldn't he?
  9. I'm done with our catchers. What a black hole.
  10. Terrible AB Happ. He threw one pitch in the zone.
  11. Terrible AB Happ. He threw one pitch in the zone.
  12. Microcosm Matt Carpenter's bat broke at the handle before making contact with the pitch.
  13. This is weird. Feels like that one dude might be right and they could be trying to implement some changes that aren't taking just yet.
  14. Assad about to get blown up if he can't get his command in order
  15. Fair points; not gonna regurgitate how I feel about the offense right now. Just hope the ace-level pitching across the rotation somehow continues.
  16. And again in less than a week. Pains me to say but it's plausible that we are at 500 when we face the Cardinals in 2 weeks.
  17. Yeah that's 5 of our 20ish most interesting pitching prospects going on the same day.
  18. Thanks for this information. Nico and Tauchman probably account for 80% of that oppo%,
  19. To me this is an issue with all of our hitters except Nico and Tauchman. None of them ever seem to sit on an outside pitch/zone and hit it with authority. We have to be near the bottom in oppo SLG, possibly last in oppo HR from RHB. Too many guys looking middle-in.
  20. Their biggest issue by far is fastballs. According to Statcast they are 6th worst against 4 seams and 7th worst against sinkers. I'm not sure how to parse it for velocity but clearly they really struggle against it far worse than the average team. The thing is, they only really thrive against cutters and they're middle of the pack against breaking and offspeed. Add it all up and they're a slightly better than average offense that has been sharply trending downward for several weeks. Happ, Swanson, the catcher position are absolutely killing us is how I see it. Happ needs to get his HR stroke going and his numbers will blow up. Since the grand slam he's hit 183/329/200/70 with 1 double in 73 PA. Allowing far too many PA end in a walk or K and simply not being aggressive enough on pitches in the zone. Swanson is at 176/243/275/52 since his little 10 game hot start. Amaya and especially Gomes have been aboslutely atrocious. Gomes has a whopping 0:21 BBK in just 55 PA. You can't continue to play that. See what Casali or the other dude can do. They might suck equally but give it a shot.
  21. I feel very unconfident that we will touch Jones or Skenes
