    I like this new thing Myrtle Beach is doing where they're fun to watch and the legit prospects are actually playing well
  2. Bertz
    It's deeply funny to me that these two specifically are the ones calling for the team to objectively make itself worse against LHP
  3. Bertz
    This thing's really fun PCA is #1 in my rankings as well, though I do take James Wood over him, so I think if I do it long enough he'll fall a smidge I'm curious about the players that are included. It's not the whole league, not even close really, and some of the guys are included seem pretty random.
  4. Bertz
    Joe Ryan is very good, but he's not Garret Crochet. Not especially close really.
  5. Bertz
    Such as? RHH 1B isn't the highest value demographic but Long's extremely well rounded
  6. Bertz
    Sharma says Brown will likely come back up to start tomorrow. Presuming he stays up that would give him next Sunday vs. the Sox as well, and then this rotation slot wouldn't have another outing until after the deadline.

    Love love love that Myrtle Beach had a big offensive game and it wasn't just the 25 year old going off Cepeda was at a 94 wRC+ coming into today, this game probably puts him in the black
  8. Bertz
    Will Sanders with his best start since getting to Iowa! Also, something to keep in mind is that a league average ERA in the International League where the Cubs play is 4.80-something
  9. Bertz
    Bello has huge L/R splits
  10. Bertz
    Yeah based on the forecast I'd guess this game starts closer to 8
  11. Bertz
    I believe 90-92, though with his arm angle I wouldn't be shocked if the models still really like it. Jose Cuas comes to mind for example.
  12. Bertz
    Jostin Florentino with 6 no hit innings, 9 K's and 1 BB I know the stuff isn't overwhelming... I wonder if the funky arm slot is just too much for the kids in Low A to deal with, even the lefties?
  13. Bertz
    Tyler Schlaffer is shoving again. I like the movement on the fastball and the slider, but I really don't see how he's doing *this*. I'd love for a pitch design guy to give us the dirt on him.
  14. Bertz
    There's also an insane Vlad Sr. one as well. This might complete the Mt. Rushmore
  15. Bertz
    Holy horsefeathers. Is this better than the Jose Guillen throw? I didn't think that was possible.
  16. Bertz
    Lumpuy with a double in the MB 1st inning. It's still SSS enough it could just be a hot streak but this feels like a breakout.
  17. Bertz
    Oh nice, that's very encouraging
  18. Bertz
    Alcantara is still out of the Iowa lineup....not great
  19. Bertz
    YES!
  20. Bertz
    I'm wondering if we should read anything into Flexen getting warm in the 8th when it looked like the team was gonna play screw the closer. Even if Sunday's a bullpen game you'd expect 2-3 innings of Flexen, and thus wouldn't want to use him today. Is Brown coming back up or something?
  21. Bertz
    Man Hartshorn must be getting paaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiidddddddd
  22. Bertz
    I really liked Turnbull over the winter. He's a great guy to sign and stash at Iowa. I think you can hope that better health gets his fastball back to the 92-93 range and with it bring back some effectiveness. It's also good to make a signing like this now because they're likely going to lose Flexen entirely in a few weeks when he presumably gets bumped off the MLB roster for a trade acquisition.
  23. Bertz
    A Sunday starter hasn't been announced yet but I'd presume Flexen
  24. Bertz
    Wind blowing in today, though not heavily. Giolito's better than Rea (though at this point not by a ton) but this is still a game the Cubs should probably take.
  25. Bertz
    Something to keep in mind with the A's broadly is their new park this year has been the second most hitter friendly in the league after Coors. And park factors at places like Fangraphs aren't perfect at accounting for that (they use 3 or 5 year averages typically). Severino certainly hasn't been *good* by any stretch of the imagination, but I think in that ballpark average is probably an ERA north of 4.50. He's probably been roughly Colin Rea quality when you account for park and defense. That said, unlike someone like Gallen or Alcantara who I really liked coming into the year, I wasn't high on Severino to start with. So even if getting him out of Sacramende turns him back to normal, I don't love his normal. And what I wrote above about park factors needs to color how you look at Urias. Ultimately while I'd do this trade in a vacuum, I suspect there are other overlapping deals I'd rather pull the trigger on, like a Keller/Bednar deal.
