Like seeing PCA bunting more but not there, needed him to swing the bat to get that run home, especially with Swanson up next. Then he doesn't know the outs 🙄
-
I know you all dont like batting average but Swanson .189 , yikes... And I hate when he bats behind Crow, he gives him little to no chance to steal.
-
Ok SSS with 50 AB but just 4 hits.. Hope it don't come to this, but how much longer does Mo get before they consider sending him down to get some work in ?
-
Should of said gradually, 80-85 should be next step, yeh by July he should be at 100
-
Need a good QS out of Cabrera tonight and some offense
-
I can see him being stretched out to at least 80-85 pitches, and if he continues to pitch well, they have to keep him in the rotation. Steele return will be slow and questionable for at least the first few starts, and Boyd isn't exactly reliable, especially now after this injury. Hopefully Hoyer can get a TOR type starter at the deadline, id be satisfied with a rotation of... New starter, Imanaga, Cabrera, Brown, Steele Rea, Taillon, Boyd they can put in bullpen, trades, whatever they see fit for them. They're all 35 and likely wont be with them next season.

W... new streak begins Brown and the pen was awesome tonight Happ too 🙂
-
3/81 left with Swanson 🙄🙄
-
Always wondered what they're looking at on those tablets in the dugout 😅😅
-
Me I guess..lol
-
😅 Happ Of course lol
-
Maton says hello 🙄
-
A huge break, take advantage of it now
-
Brown has turned into a completely different pitcher this season. As much as I liked having him in the pen for long relief, it would be huge for the rotation if he ends up cementing a spot the rest of year. Very pleasant surprise
-
Getting on base, not getting the big hit
-
All other Central teams loss yesterday and came back to all win today, hopefully that a good sign for the Cubs to get a win.
-
When did i say I judge only by batting average? But you know what funny since you brought it up, if player A goes 20 for 100 he not hitting very well is he ? I personally like OPS, and I get batting average isnt looked at like it was in the past because off all these different metrics they use now, but hitters still need to get hits to succeed and get all those other stats.

Be nice to win this one and get rid of the bad mojo before the Sox series
-
I dont know, I guess we have a different view of what a best offensive season of his career looks like. Yes his current OB and Slg is higher then his career numbers as of now, but his overall hitting is much worse and his strike outs are alot higher now. 225/368/457/825 58 Ks now 246/344/447/791. 168 Ks career high Part of why I brought up his current cold streak, was to show those numbers are dipping fast on him, and hes already more than a third of the way to his highest K total. His best full offensive season overall was probably 2022 IMO. 271/342/440/781
-
Well no, it's not based off of 55 ABs, that was used as an example of how he has been struggling lately and how his numbers have dipped since his high slash marks. Yes his current OPS looks good at .825, but it has dropped significantly the last 3 weeks His overall hitting has been off all season despite the homeruns and walks, and his strike outs has been high. In my view, I dont care to look back at previous years numbers when thinking about extending someone that going to be 32/33 and ignoring what theyre doing in the current season. Why I said as of now, I wouldn't extend him and chose Suzuki over him if they were going to choose between the two as of now.

I dont have a problem with you responding, my problem is everyone thinking I was shitting on Happ because of what you been saying. I wasn't shitting on him in the original post, I simply was saying as of now, Happ hasn’t done much overall to get an extension. Never said anything close to him not being very good, said his overall numbers aren't very good. Yes his ops is good because of the homeruns and walks, but his hitting is way down and his strikeouts are way up. And the SSS of his last 55 AB, well it shows that his overall struggles are real, his slugging has gone down, his OBP has gone down, OPS is down, his overall hitting has gone way down, and his strikeouts has increased to over 34% in that span. This isn't a normal Happ cold spell, especially the strikeouts, he just seems off so far this season with the bat. So, yes as of now I dont feel he should get an extension, especially if the choice is between him and Suzuki. So, hopefully he gets it going again soon because they need him to win games , im not a Happ hater, but yes he's frustrating to me, especially when he goes cold because they need him hitting.
-
That what the original conversation was about, choosing between the two if one were to be extended.
-
His future was what the original conversation was about

Funny thing is nobody was actually complaining about him until someone chimed into a conversation about whether he or Suzuki should get extended. I just simply chose Suzuki and felt Happ as of now hasn't done much to get an extension. I know everyone has different opinion on Happ, the guy is pretty much an above the norm streaky hitter, and at the end of year he has his numbers, but so far this season, yes his HRs and walks are good but hes just not getting the hits and the strikeouts are much higher then normal. I dont dislike Happ, he is frustrating at time with his cold streaks, but i want him to play well cause that helps my team win more games, it just he just seems more off then usual so far.
