Swanson's line for the week: 261/292/391
Wauchman's line: 409/552/864
Wauchman is the only batter to get 20+ PA last week and produce an average or better line. The output from the bats we should be able to count on was horrific.
Morel - 92
Swanson - 92
Happ - 60
Nico - 55
Busch - 17
It's amazing that we won the games that we did.
I don't think he was that. He's a security blanket for a rookie WR. He is always open. It's gonna be hell on defenses to cover him and Moore and still be able to account for the other weapons. Caleb is walking into a dream situation.
This will be an interesting matchup. The Red Sox don't like to throw fastballs, the Cubs aren't that great vs fastballs, the Red Sox lean heavily on cutters, the Cubs feast on cutters. Hopefully they feast on Kutter.
Let the kid get his first hit already. That's probably part of what's been weighing him down. He's been awful for the last 3 months of his baseball career and he's not used to it. But imagine you 0-fer in your cup of coffee and then have that stew in your brain for 6 months. That's gotta horsefeathers you up pretty good mentally.
