  1. I know he had 3 egregious chases within the PA but was that the first time PCA drew a double-digit pitch walk?
  2. Same with Bregman.
  3. You may be right. Has to be discerning on which pitches to muster up on. He will hit a lot of can of corn fbs.
  4. Craig said they think there's more power in Nico. They might be a little high off his spring... but maybe there is. If he could just turn on the meatballs more often he could be closer to a 120 guy.
  5. The Brewers are better at PD at the MLB level and the MiLB level. They have a loaded farm system and could leave us in the dust while our solid-yet-unspectacular roster wanes. It could get pretty ugly, pessimistically speaking. The spectre of MIL continuing to lord over us while spending peanuts looms large IMO. They absolutely have to take the division back. Unfortunately they are like Australia trying to keep up in the arms race. And that actually goes for the entire division. Like the Pirates are about to have a whole rotation of guys atop the average fb rankings. Luckily they are able to spend to fill out the pitching staff at a level far above the other teams. They cannot continue to lag so far behind in developing their own pitchers, however. They have to invest more in IFA and make a concerted effort to target 'live' arms. Its gotten a little better and the pitch labs have gotten decent results from some. But there is a shitload of flotsam still.
  6. Does anyone expect Happ to get more than 2 years in free agency or 20 AAV? They might as well try to extend him too.
  7. What is our chase rate in this dumb game? Getting ourselves out over and over.
  8. Brown threw 2 sinkers faster than his 3 4-seams. That seems odd.
  9. Wow that is not what I expected. Much closer to what chibears55 thought.
  10. Kade Snell 113.5/371 on a triple Dude officially has my attention. Huge power.
  11. Cabrera finishing the spring on a low note. More hard contact issues. Even allowing a homer to Grichuk.
  12. Man if Bregman can just stay healthy and give us 140-150 games, be ready for October. Hell of a ST.
  13. They dont put opt-outs in these early extensions, do they? Usually there's 2-3 team option years. Like Jackson Merrill got 10m signing bonus and the contract is structured like this: 2026: $1 Million 2027: $6 Million 2028: $8 Million 2029: $10 Million 2030-2034: $20 Million PCA isn't going to start having 20 AAV for several years still.
  14. Hell yeah. Hopefully he cuts the chase rate a little this year and avoids a major slump like he had at the end of last year. Even if he doesn't, his floor is insanely high. Well worth it.
  15. What do you mean? Spring is so freaking looooong.
  16. OTOH I like seeing Busch and Shaw go yard finally
  17. Thinking any baseball season would go by with the high watermark at 87 wins is ridiculous. I get, within the context, that its exciting to see the Cubs among the best teams and winning the division, but it seems like a pretty useless exercise overall.
  18. Without Wiggins is that the worst collection of arms in the minors?
  19. Video of Snell's 9th inning double? Ball was crushed 395 feet
  20. Well hope in 1 hand and you know what in the other
