  1. Just the 2nd K for Belli in August and 3rd since July 26th. He also donged 3 times in that period.
  2. You wonder what Smyly and Taillon's lines would have looked like if they IBBd Alonso.
  3. He's not going to start for the time being. They made that pretty clear in recent statements. He has to work on his swing decisions and his mechanics.
  4. So many top prospects that raked through milb have fallen flat on their face this year. The league is really freakin tough. Baty just got demoted after going 0-25 and has a 77 wRC+ on the year Vientos is probably not gonna last long with his 53 in about 100 PA Bo Naylor has a 79 CJ Abrams is running a 96 Gabriel Moreno has an 82 Colton Cowser has 7 hits in 70 PA Henry Davis has an 84
  5. The Cubs have only called 3 IBB all year and I think that is too low. Identify the situation. Save the pitches. Point them to first base.
  6. I see a dude that guesses a lot and seems to determine that he will swing at the pitch before it is delivered. And he is painfully slow to adjust to shifts in approach to him, as well as when he realizes his pre-determination was off. You see a lot of flailing, all upper-body swinging. The leg kick leads to awful timing too often. He only swings at 12% of the first pitches to him. I think that's a big problem. The league is aware that it's easy to get ahead on him. He has raised his meatball swing% 6% from last year, but is still below the league average at 72 vs 76. When you watch him, this is really obvious. he gets caught guessing and watches a fastball right down the pike.
  7. They finally realized they don't have to pitch to Alonso. That lineup is trash.
  8. Like, why not just take the 2 baserunners and see if Swanson can knock more in. Nevermind, just saw the replay. Ugh, Ian. Just pitiful.
  9. Walk Alonso like he's 2016 Bryce Harper. Their lineup is not good enough to consistently capitalize on it.
  10. If they had just won a couple more games in May...
  11. So we now have series wins against the Braves, Rangers, Orioles, Rays, and Dodgers Insane run we are on right now, they feeling themselves
  12. South Bend has batted around in the 1st and Rivera has taken 2 walks in the inning.
  13. Cubs wRC+ last 30 days Bellinger 207 Swanson 185 Tauchman 164 Nico 103 Happ 126 Gomes 140 Wisdom 158 Morel 117 Madrigal 154 Amaya 110 Our position players lead MLB with 7.7 fwar, 2nd best is LAD at 6.8. We have a 5.8 bsr, almost double that of 2nd place, basically just killling teams with steals (2nd with 30) and damn near everyone is taking the extra base. The Cubs offense has scored in double digits 18 times this year.
  14. That isn't really true, to play D.A., he had a 2.8 fwar in 300 PA in 2019.
