Basically the league is like, hey Cubs, bet you cant hit breaking balls, and the Cubs are like, ok fine but you have to eventually throw a fastball, and they come so infrequently from what they are used to, that they are rarely on time for them. And its amazing that we ever get thrown a fastball when the approach is this freaking effective, really.
And it makes me wonder, are we the only team that has seen this dramatic shift in approach? You would think this approach would work at least nominally against any team.
Bregman needs to figure out how to be effective at Wrigley. His road numbers are right in line with what we should expect. Its his performance at Wrigley that has really dragged his numbers down.
Has Wrigley just been more friendly to LHB in general this year?
