  1. This is supreme efficiency, Keegan. Hot damn!
  2. We thought Mervis was making a mockery of AA, what is Slaughter doing? 369/432/738.
  3. *Canario very clearly jacks a bomb to left field* *Cameraman oscillates between center and right-center before finally capturing the ball clearing the left field fence* Do you even baseball, bro?
  4. Ho hum, another homer and a double for Slaughter. Caissie has a 7 game hit streak, 4 straight multi-hit, and only 3 Ks in the streak.
  5. Since returning from the IL on 5/25 Nico has the lowest K rate in baseball at 4.9% and the next closest is JRam at 6.6%. Nico has struck out just 3 times in June. What's also encouraging and somewhat exciting is that he's maintained his LA during that time and that is just below 10 on the season, which is a number that several guys live at and still punch out 20 HR a year with. He could be in for a major breakout next year. During that time post-IL he's put up the 2nd best defense across baseball also.
  6. It's ridiculous to me that the Cubs threw 5 prospects into the deep at once, several of which had big questions of contact ability, and rode them to finally ending the drought. But now they have a roster with a clear need for explosive offense and in a probable 100-loss season, and they baby the horsefeathers out of a dude who could quite easily be a top 8 hitter on the team, because they're afraid to expose his poor contact skills. Just let him sink or fuckin swim. They're doing it with Morel who practically came straight up from AA. We know Nelly is gonna have major strikeout issues. But is he that much different from Gorman? The Cardinals are trying to win the division and they're throwing Gorman right into the middle of the lineup every day. Sick of this let him hit LHP and occasionally start vs RH if the matchup is right [expletive].
  7. Mervis dong, also has a double. Tripled to deep center the other day too. Man's on a mission.
  8. Robertson looks like a decent chip :shrug:
  9. When are we going to get a database that tracks Minor League things like contact rate, EV/LA, spin, etc? Or is there one already? I've seen articles referencing these things and not just from interviews with FO execs. I know several years ago minorleaguecentral used to track contact rate but the site went defunct a few years ago.
  10. Sounds like a good fit and there's a feel for a 3 pt shot. I like the pick.
  11. We are so lucky Willson's knee didn't explode in that collision
  12. Thank God we're not competitive this year because that loss would ruin my night
  13. Zobrist hit .308 in 2018 and KB and Jay both had like .296 season(s). Rizzo had two low-mid .290 seasons too. Which yeah not .300+ but that’s basically a rounding error and like what,~12 more hits over the course of the year? Ah my bad, missed Zobrist. Good catch. I thought about this a couple weeks ago, and yeah, stupid distinction.
  14. It's meaningless but the Cubs haven't had a 300 hitter since pre-Theo Starlin. I figure that's gotta be a record.
  15. Alcantara just donged, 3/4 with a double also Slaughter hit another [emoji378] and is making his presence felt in AA. Big breakout.
  16. They just mean "before the Cubs are mathematically eliminated" Or before Willy, Happ, and anybody worth a horsefeathers is gone Sent from my motorola one 5G UW using Tapatalk
  17. He really just hung on for 8 seasons (and another 2 as a small-bit player) adding about 5 WAR in that time and 850 hits, while posting a 80 wRC+ I would take Wade Boggs over Ichiro any day of the week To have him as a top 5 position player is insane Sent from my motorola one 5G UW using Tapatalk
  18. Ross is a pud Steele had thrown 80% strikes and got 11 GO. There was no reason not to let him keep going. Sent from my motorola one 5G UW using Tapatalk
  19. So, this Darius Hill dude deserve any hype? Sent from my motorola one 5G UW using Tapatalk
  20. Oh, thanks. Sent from my motorola one 5G UW using Tapatalk
  21. How many runs have we scored in extras and in how many innings? Sent from my motorola one 5G UW using Tapatalk
  22. This is impressive ineptitude Sent from my motorola one 5G UW using Tapatalk
  23. Triantos tripled and struck out 4 times, the final one getting him ejected. I have to imagine this location is not accurate. But lol @ arguing the automatic strike Sent from my motorola one 5G UW using Tapatalk
  24. Goodness Morel just continues to make consistently good swing decisions Sent from my motorola one 5G UW using Tapatalk
