    Almost certainly is coming up for Wicks, which annoys me.
  2. Bertz
    Yeah homerun rates are mostly noise but even level-setting that the xFIP you site shows he's still been very bad. I think he goes on the IL when Boyd is back. The team shouldn't DFA any warm arm but he clearly can't keep going every 5 days like this. What's been most interesting to me is he's gotten his 2025 velo back over the last few starts and not only has it not helped it's made things worse.

    This will be the Cubs' fifth series of the year against a team that is as of today under .500

    Oh and Devers became a star bat post WS, he had a 90 wRC+ in '18
  5. Bertz
    Turner and Bogaerts were star caliber players but not star caliber bats. I thought our problem was we needed a star caliber bat?

    This explains a lot

    We know the Angels like close to the majors prospects too so if you're wanting to use the Shaws and Alcantaras of the world instead of the Hartshorns and Conrads they're probably a good partner.

    The disconnect is between things you find aesthetically pleasing and things that impact results.

    How is 1st in defense and 6th in runs scored not balanced?
  11. Bertz
    Sonny Gray had a pretty rough start to his season but since he came off the IL he's been pretty vintage. He's also got a pretty hefty salary this season, so you could probably get a deal done without absurd prospect cost.

    Busch and PCA are both currently projected to match or exceed what they did last year. Seiya Suzuki was worth 2.6 WAR last year.
  13. Bertz
    They're in last place in what is probably still the worst division in baseball and Skubal/Mize/Torres all walk at the end of the year. I'd guess they won't because of that aforementioned division but there's a decent argument that they should blow it to smithereens and be open for business on anyone but Mcgonigle.
  14. Bertz
    Since the start of '24 when Greene broke out he has a 129 wRC+. Seiya has a 127 over that same period.
  15. Bertz
    Riley Greene is left handed Seiya Suzuki, which is not a bad thing the winter before we lose three veteran corner outfielders, but is a far cry from some mythical "elite" bat that would make the offense magically not streaky.
  16. Bertz
    I mean even if that meant anything he'd be facing the Giants the outing after as well.
  17. Bertz
    Boyd's through 4 and has thrown 55 pitches. He's mostly held his velocity. He'd be lined up to face the Giants next weekend, and their offense mostly sucks. Are we sure he needs a 2nd rehab outing?
  18. Bertz
    It's not going super well but Will Sanders rehabbing at SB
  19. Bertz
    Caple pitching great through 4 The groundball rate has evaporated early here at AA, but still impressive how little he's been fazed at the new level. If he could get a month+ at Iowa this season and be considered pitching depth in '27 that's a huge win
  20. Bertz
    Boyd lined up for the first game in SF 🤞
  21. Bertz
    4 of the next 5 opponent SPs are lefties, so hopefully Alcantara gets a little bit of run.
  22. Bertz
    I mean I think the takeaway is it's mostly not skill
  23. Bertz
    Sonme of this is that Myrtle's lineup is depleted at the moment but Geuri Lubo's a little interesting. Also that's a super cool name.
  24. Bertz
    This might legitimately be the first IFA SP prospect we've had with some oomf on his fastball since Marquez? And we didn't exactly have a steady pipeline of them before that either.
  25. Bertz
    Knapp/Caple is a fun doubleheader duo for Tenn
