    Damn Happ crushed that
  2. We Got The Whole 9
    Yeah. So far one of the best signings of the off-season across the league.
  3. We Got The Whole 9
    I probably should have just said rest or reprieve. He's played every game and I had just read an article that said the team thinks he's been playing injured.
  4. We Got The Whole 9
    Sounds like we got a good one. He should be promoted.

    Brewers pounded Abbott today. Maybe don't start lefties against them. They just took Luzardo from a 2.15 to a 3.58 and now they took Abbott from 1.58 to 2.18. They will be in the WC race. I hope they trade some decent prospects. But they're a machine and it's annoying. it doesn't matter if they constantly field a mediocre offense. They win a lot by their pitching infrastructure.

    I wouldn't be surprised to not see him this series. He could use a good reset, get back to the pulled-flyball machine he has been, hopefully.

    Brown was really good as a starter last year. He pitched 40 innings of a 3.3 ERA, allowing just 4 HR. Obviously they'd like to have him in the rotation and they're gonna give him a bit of leash to get right. It's also important to note that his FIP this year as a SP is 3.4., so they possibly believe that it his true talent. I think a lot of the ERA-FIP being so high is his fault and part of it may not be. It's weird to me that someone can throw such a devastating curve but they can't throw a change. It seems like the kick-change is pretty easy to throw from what I've heard pitchers say. I think he's tried to throw a circle-change at times and it grades horribly, as does the fastball. Let's see if he can round into form, but I believe he needs something else to keep hitters off the fastball.

    Tucker probably isn't playing. Interestingly, from a cursory look, Gore's batted ball rates have trended the wrong way this year, but he's getting far more chase and whiffs. Stuff+ says he's a little above average but only due to his 4s and cutter. His offspeed pitches are meh. Apparently he just started throwing the cutter and it's been a very good pitch so far,

    All they need is to scrape a couple across against those pitchers and get to the pen by the 6th. They have absolutely slaughtered bullpens this year.
  10. We Got The Whole 9
    Until the Pirates call up Chandler just for us
  11. We Got The Whole 9
    It's absolutely insane that 5 of our regulars have a 140+. Happ needs to find his power, he has a pathetic .100 ISO. Maybe swap him and Nico in the order, He needs to regain his run-producing mindset. He is barely playing at a 1 fwar pace.

    Despite the glorious Cubs win yesterday, TJ Friedl wins the player of the day. https://www.mlb.com/news/reds-win-even-series-vs-brewers
  13. We Got The Whole 9
    Brewers just lost
  14. We Got The Whole 9
    Hoping Cade can go 7 tonight. He didn't deserve one of those ER at all.
  15. We Got The Whole 9
    Happ must have gotten a ****** read, that seemed like an easy run.
  16. We Got The Whole 9
    Let's go Seiya lata
  17. We Got The Whole 9
    He really is another Javy lol
  18. We Got The Whole 9
    Yeah that was 3 pretty terrible ABs
  19. We Got The Whole 9
    That's good news for us. When it's timed like that, it's like damn you understand for the player but man for anyone with a rooting interest in the team that sucks ass. But horsefeathers em.
  20. We Got The Whole 9
    Alcantara is far from the best fit for the Cubs
  21. We Got The Whole 9
    Abrams, Bell, and Wood are all on fire right now. Proceed with caution.
  22. We Got The Whole 9
    I wonder if Jed would have interest in Morton for the steady innings eater with playoff experience who shouldn't cost much of anything.
  23. We Got The Whole 9
    We have to ask the same of Brown, who just surpassed his 2024 IP total and last crossed 100 in 2022. If it were up to me I would let them go, but they're gonna have to make some trades. They can't count on Assad. Hoyer isn't going to gamble with his young arms like that. So realistically he needs to add 2 significant arms to the rotation IMO.
  24. We Got The Whole 9
    They have a 113 ISO, 34 HR.
  25. We Got The Whole 9
    I feel like Jed is gonna call Mo, Shaw, and Horton off limits and the rest fair game, as hard as he wants to go. If he tries to nab the top pitcher on the market then Wiggins, Long, Rojas will probably be hot names. I'm not sure Alcantara/Caissie has what it takes to anchor a deal and keep those guys out of it.
