If it weren't for Cabrera and Palencia you know we wouldn't have no velo at all
-
You mentioned in an earlier post that they were good against them in April but once the league started feeding more of them they saw a sharp decline. They're certainly trending towards below league average/bad lately. Let's see where they end in a few months but I certainly don't see them do much damage to them lately.
-
Nico's approach drives me insane. Sometimes it feels like the zone he's looking in is the zone in which he is likely to do the least amount of damage. I would trade his 90% contact rate for a 20% chase rate all day every day.

So Shaw at short?

Minor League Discussion & Boxes, 6-16-26

Since the Dodgers series Pete has a 3.3 fwar (44 games!) Kurtz is 2nd with 2.6. He finished that series at a 76 wRC+, 65th in war. In the time since he's hit 172, good for 7th. He's absolutely unbelievable.
-
Unsung hero of the game was Palencia. He was absolutely keyed in.
-
Pete's not even top 10 in ASG votes among NL OF 🤣
-
Thank you. Everything hes hitting lately has been right on the screws. Im really starting to believe hes gonna post 10. And the overrated chatter in comments sections just kills me. Like since the LA series hes gone completely scorched-earth on the league.
-
How do you check fwar live? Was this enough to push PCA over 4?
-
Had no business swinging at 2-0 but still got the job done. Nice comeback and glad they didn't waste PCA's massive day.
-
You idiot that was a ball too
-
What a great approach.
-
Pedro about to do this damn thing
-
That dude is something else man. Made it look easy.
-
Pete and Busch, how far can you carry us? The rest horsefeathers suck right now.
-
My goodness, Pete. Hot as hell right now. And of course Bregman chases with RISP
-
Bregman has been as-expected on the road. Its when he hits at Wrigley where he's been a disaster. I still think he can be a 120 bat but he needs to figure that horsefeathers out. He was a relatively safe bet, Shaw is not. Shaw started to put it together again this year but then went into a really cold spell. I think his defense would have carried him to a decent war but his offense is pretty sketch. I don't think we needed to spend 175m to solve that issue though. Jed is too fixated on safe bets/vets IMO. We especially see that in the pen. He could go and trade for some live arms/stuff but he'd always rather get the steady-ish guy in the FA market for some reason.

Basically the league is like, hey Cubs, bet you cant hit breaking balls, and the Cubs are like, ok fine but you have to eventually throw a fastball, and they come so infrequently from what they are used to, that they are rarely on time for them. And its amazing that we ever get thrown a fastball when the approach is this freaking effective, really. And it makes me wonder, are we the only team that has seen this dramatic shift in approach? You would think this approach would work at least nominally against any team. Bregman needs to figure out how to be effective at Wrigley. His road numbers are right in line with what we should expect. Its his performance at Wrigley that has really dragged his numbers down. Has Wrigley just been more friendly to LHB in general this year?

Scouting is a dying art. Technology will tell us what we need to know. -
I bet Bregman has a 35% chase rate with RISP. Start there if you want to fix your RISP issues, dickhead.

General Baseball Chit-Chat Thread
We Got The Whole 9 replied to David's topic in General Baseball Talk
Braves LF corrals a ball in the corner and his relay throw hits the pole that holds the netting up. First time I've seen that happen. -
My money is on the Brewers getting Abrams. Hoyer won't put his hat in that ring.
-
Glad Ramirez is getting another start. You got a guy that is not chasing, is making elite contact, and has hit the ball hard. Exactly what the lineup needs right now.
-
IDK what it was like prior to this playoff but I feel like his rep among players took a major hit. They'll chalk it up to inexperience but if he keeps it up moving forward nobody will cut him slack. He better go hard AF in the weight room this offseason, for several reasons.
