    Soler has gone Trout on us in the 2nd half and has raised his overall line to 20% above average and could possibly crack 2 fwar finally.

    So last night JD kept calling the Underwood pitch that Kzone was identifying as a 2-seam as a change-up. They zoomed in on his hand he had the circle grip. But statcast has also identified them as sinkers. Is that Kzone actually just statcast readings?

    Twins hit 4 more tonight and are currently on pace to break the MLB record before September begins Lol

    I should have noted that I was talking about entering 2021 he could be in that conversation. They seem to have unlocked a more mechanically sound Marquez at South Bend. That was the gist of the coach talk around him at least. Hes been throwing more strikes. The stuff is certainly there. Next year he could have a meteoric rise if he can keep smoothing out those edges. At least top 20 should be very much in reach IMO. And by 2021 a couple of those guys will have graduated... although other guys will surely enter the picture as an offset.

    Kemp needs to keep the ball out of the air.

    Yep. He got much wilder in the 3rd and 4th giving up lead off walks in both. A little better in the 5th but not much. He threw 20 of his first 25 pitches for strikes. After that, just 30 of his next 54. His FB was sitting 97 in the later innings. Even so, he was unhittable. High-A batters proved able to make more contact, fouling off a lot more pitches than his last two Low-A outings, but anything hit fair was an easy out. May have had some extra adrenaline in the 1st two innings and then the inevitable shakes once it dropped lower. I'm excited to see whether he can maintain his control once he settles in. All in all, pretty horsefeathering good. He's now up to 13 consecutive innings without allowing a hit. So you watched this? I was looking at the log and was wondering how far those fly balls were going. He gave up 5, but I love how he ended his night with a double play grounder. Hes got top 5-10 prospect potential.

    I feel like we should have been a lot more aggressive against the worst hitter of the inning
  9. We Got The Whole 9
    Good lord hes a horsefeathering magician
  10. We Got The Whole 9
    Bryant really needs to use the right side more if hes missing most of his power
  11. We Got The Whole 9
    Holy horsefeathers 474 feet

    No walks, Rowan

    Our guys need to take cues on what to do with those get-me-over curveballs they all love to take for strikes

    Because if they're sucking for a while, and word gets out they've been sick and/or injured, there's a good chance the two are related. And yet the Cubs rarely seem to put position players on IL. The Cubs will use IL for their pitchers when they have to, but it seems like they are bizarrely averse to using for position players unless they flat out can't play. I seriously doubt they're magically luckier than almost every other team out there when it comes to player health. Bryant, Zobrist, Russell and Contreras are all key examples of players in recent seasons who clearly needed to heal up, and they just kept trotting them out there well past the point it was obvious something was wrong, like they were going to get better if they played hard enough. They actually did it with Rizzo also, let him play through a back injury that saw him hitting like a pitcher. Plus, you just dont horsefeathers around with knee injuries, IMO. They also had Descalso play for 2 months after spraining his ankle. Even if he didn't play every single day he still had to go to the park, take BP and FP, etc.

    Their avoidance of the IL is so frustrating. They think, oh we can't afford to be without KB in the lineup for 10-15 days... but really, he's given a 230 wOBA over the last 11 games... so is it better to have them play through it and not get the appropriate rest and treatment all while getting nowhere near the normal production, rather than sucking it up with Bote and a Russell or Machado to help fill in for 10 or so days? It seems to make no sense at all to me. Every time we keep trotting these injured players out there they play like shells of their regular selves.

    I heard from someone listening to Waddle and Sylvy that they were taking with Rogers who suggested it could be Kimbrel

    From a purely visual standpoint this reminds me of... Sweetness. I'm sure some will take that as fantasy but that's what I see. Legs churning, the helmet lowered into the defenders chest, and using the low center of gravity as leverage, always falling forward with multiple players needed to tackle him. Just hope he can stay healthy because hes going to absorb a lot of damage.

Is it Joe picking his battles more wisely? 70 2nd half PA and he has an 11.3 K rate, a 395 woba, with a ludicrous 156 BABIP.

    Of course the Dodgers hammer Paddack in a slugfest and then walk off on Kirby Yates.
