  1. Managers are going to have to make sure some of their players don't waste challenges early, as we seen at times now when they point to dugout right away and want a play challenged and it wasn't close.
  2. Aren't they going to be limited with ABS challenges though, I think theyll only get 2 challenges a game. Outside of a handful of calls that gets challenged the rest of game is still going to be called by some bad umpires then.
  3. On average, Major League Baseball (MLB) umpires behind home plate make correct ball and strike calls about 88% to 90% of the time. MLB should consider just going with two umps with every crew that rotates behind the plate and those two umps need to be always be above that 90% correct calls. For incentives to be one of those umps, they should get paid more then the ones on the bases. This along with the ABS system should greatly improve calls behind the plate
  4. Cubs bats need to explode next inning and out up a 5 spot or more.
  5. Happ should know if his hand crossed before the tag there.. you'd think 🤷‍♂️
  6. Cubs need to do some damage second time through order here, get him to start pitching from the stretch.
  7. Tough first inning, Cubs all go down on strike and first 2 hitters reach on Cade.
  8. Cohen not that bad, I bet most first year PBP guys struggled or wasn't that smooth with their veteran color guy. At least he wants to be there unlike Boog who needs to be off half the games. Be interesting to see what happens next season when ESPN not doing baseball anymore if Boog signs elsewhere or if he sticks if he continues to miss a bunch of games.
  9. I think it just Counsell way of getting Turner his AB for now as he is basically the only true bat off the bench now and this is how he's keeping him active. Berti and Brujan are just runners Hoyer really needs to address his bench for the second half of season
  10. Someone above mentioned he hasn’t pitched all week, so hopefully it was just rust and this was a great opportunity for him to get some pitches in for when they really need him.
  11. What the hell was the ump looking at, he wasn't close to being safe 😅 W... nice clean win
  12. Ok, I just remember back when I played in HS in the 80s most everyone had the curve and changeup to go with the FB. I was a catcher and it was always 1 FB 2 curve and 3 change lol
  13. I always thought pitchers always had the 3 basic pitches since High School. FB Change and Curve, or has that changed nowadays
  14. Yep, it coming, all those oppo drives he has had, pitchers are going to start coming inside a bit more most likely.
  15. Just saw Harper gonna be out for the Phillies series, that'll work.
  16. Adding that changeup has turned Taillon into a different pitcher
