I simply like to look at peripherals even in the early stage of the season. I can't help it. Some really good things are happening (Bryant and Russell approaching 80% contact) but a lot more bad, to this point. Sure we're halfway to an acceptable sample size but I don't see anything wrong with looking for underlying causes to the offensive futility. If we've got batted ball results similar to 16 Heyward, then we're gonna struggle to score runs. I'm not saying we're gonna struggle all season, or even for a lengthy period. They'll click soon, I'm sure. But man they've been hitting like a bunch of Punch n Judy sissies so far.

Not a shred of panic in me. I'm simply stating what's ailing us. But I'm sure you have a gif for this reply as well.

Tons of soft contact (3rd most) and they are pull-happy (2nd most). Not a good combo for hitting baseballs. I think I can count on my hands the amount of hard hit balls Bryzzo have hit.

Next time he paints that corner, Rizz, slap it down the LF line

Time for KB to make a team pay for walking Schwarber

Javy whiffing on center-cut pitches

Should be Almora. He hammers lefties.

Addy scalded that one

Yeah this guy's got huge inning written all over him

This guy looks like he can walk us to victory

Holy horsefeathers that slide hurt my shoulders

Thank god for the spectacular pitching we've had so far
-
I'd like to see the hard hit balls come. Cubs have a 317 BABIP, so we're finding holes. The thing is, we're not making hard contact (24th in the league) and are making a fuckton of soft contact (3rd most).

Good hit Zo

Freese is just trolling us

Will the projection systems ever believe in the Cubs pitching that has maintained unsustainable performance for the last 300+ games?

Man... A lot of ugly batting lines so far. 5 HR in 8 games... really seems improbable with these guys. Rizzo, he looks like he's only interested in swinging at middle-cut sliders that are diving below the zone. Kyle and Willy are striking out a ton. Team wRC+ of 87, big woof

horsefeathers it was posted already

I don't hate it but I would be more in favor of moving further back; enough to collect a future first + some. And is Richardson somebody we want to give 50m to?

Springer has hit his 4th leadoff blast in the seasons first 8 games

This Pedro Silverio cat has 13 Ks in 6.1 innings with just 1 walk and no hits allowed but he's a 22 y/o in SB -
They really need to give Javy the red light sometimes IMO. He is not likely to get a pitch in the zone once a pitcher is ahead.
