    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

    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.

    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.

    They finally realized they don't have to pitch to Alonso. That lineup is trash.
  5. We Got The Whole 9
    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.
  6. We Got The Whole 9
    It's about 35% in 2nd half
  7. We Got The Whole 9
    Stop horsefeathers pitching to him you idiots
  8. We Got The Whole 9
    Walk Alonso like he's 2016 Bryce Harper. Their lineup is not good enough to consistently capitalize on it.

    If they had just won a couple more games in May...
  10. We Got The Whole 9
    So we now have series wins against the Braves, Rangers, Orioles, Rays, and Dodgers Insane run we are on right now, they feeling themselves
  11. We Got The Whole 9
    Plus they saved a bunch of money doing that
  12. We Got The Whole 9
    Yeesh, Kyle
  13. We Got The Whole 9
    South Bend has batted around in the 1st and Rivera has taken 2 walks in the inning.

    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.
  15. We Got The Whole 9
    Man horsefeathers that guy
  16. We Got The Whole 9
    Caissie has a 2B and 3B
  17. We Got The Whole 9
    Sort of related, thank God we didn't sign Abreu. What a catastrophe.
  18. We Got The Whole 9
    That isn't really true, to play D.A., he had a 2.8 fwar in 300 PA in 2019.
  19. We Got The Whole 9
    Hope that's not the case
  20. We Got The Whole 9
    Dude I saw the future
  21. We Got The Whole 9
    Really surprised they didn't. "different look", divisional familiarity, versatile (can open and swing/multi-inning).
  22. We Got The Whole 9
    TJS, out until Sep '24, comes back throwing 105
  23. We Got The Whole 9
    Could have easily got Sewald as a pivot move
  24. We Got The Whole 9
    Most of PSD just does not believe in the journeyman or several-years-removed-from-positive-value comeback cases and I get it. We are sick of scrap heap scavenging, but if you hit on one of those it's almost like getting a rookie because they will be cheap AF for several seasons. Tauchman is a boon to the roster if he doesn't fall back off a cliff next year.

    Luke Little, if he can rein in those walks, could be absolutely lethal He has a 40% K, 50% GB, .180 BAA But he has a 18(!) % BB which makes him unplayable ATM, and he's in AA. Assuming you weren't talking about Brendon.
