Cubs better score this inning
-
I can see a way owners/GMs will try and save money in future is towards SP contracts. We all know gone are the days of SP going 7+ innings for the most part. We've also seen a decrease of SP going 6+ innings over the last 5 years, as starters are now mostly just going around 5+. 2020-2024 data showing a decrease in 6+ inning starts to around 12–13%. Starting pitchers are now averaging closer to 5.1 innings per start. I just think with the workload for SP being decreased going forward to lesser innings/pitches/batters faced, majority of SP will lose some leverage of asking for big money contracts. We might see more willingness from owners/gm to offer more years because of lesser workload on the arms, but the money part of it will decrease, meaning we'll likely see more of the future top SP AAV be in the 20s and nobody making 30+ AAV outside of an Ohtani type SP/hitter. I think this could be something we see happening in 5 years

Yea just saw it 640, not 2 The 2 is a replay, but you're right we got baseball tonight
-
Was ready for baseball and it a 640 start 🙄🙄
-
At least I got the Bregman 2 homeruns prediction right 🤷
-
That game...
-
That was a lackluster 7th inning 🙄
-
2 runs with wind blowing out sucks.. Let Go
-
Loaded without a ball put in play, and no outs
-
Hilarious, people asking these guys for photos that they had no idea who they were til they were mentioned on video board 😅😅
-
Damn Ballesteros smoked that one
-
Hopefully he gets at least 200 of them Lol
-
Bregman and Happ Back to Back jacks
-
Nice job by Shota getting out of that.. Let go bats
-
Just seen Taillon is scheduled to start Tuesday over going back to Boyd, this could be a Horton Cabrera and pray for rain start of the season... lol
-
Bats looking awesome today, cant blame the wind. Cubs about to go down 4 here
-
Double whammy... Didn't throw a strike and the pitch was still hittable enough to drive out 🙄🤷 Lol
-
Cubs need to respond with at least one here, this is likely a day where 10 runs is needed
-
Just couldn't get through the first after striking out first two guys 🤦 Two singles and the bomb
-
Got my banana ball email today, my name was not chosen to get a ticket to see them at Wrigley this year... 😒 Go Cubs, Bregman gonna hit 2 bombs today
-
1 win down, 99 to go... I want 100 wins this season 🙂
-
I like my chances with these guys against most RHers and not worry too much that theyll be coming up late in a game having to face a RH reliever, even if you split them up with a lefty, 2 of the 3 are facing a RHer...
-
Yea but id rather put my RBI/Power guys in better position to drive in runs over getting 1 extra AB. On some teams it may not matter, like with the Dodgers and Yankees who have a bunch of middle of order type bats. I dont mind Busch leading off, I just think Bregman should be 3 or 4, Happ should be 5th or 6th. Maybe when Suzuki returns he goes into the 4 hole. Busch Hoerner Bregman Suzuki PCA Happ would imo be much better
-
Ehhh I wouldn't put Busch and Bregman in the same category as Ohtani and Tucker, plus Freeman and Smith are typical 4-5 hitters unlike PCA and Hoerner. I dont mind Busch leading off, but id go with Hoerner PCA Bregman Happ, 2 thru 5.
-
Has anyone heard why Counsell has his two power guys hitting 1 and 2, and his two speed guys batting 4 and 5 ? I dont get the logic behind this
