    I chalked KA’s up to being demoted, but now it’s interesting to say the least. Mo’s could be about him not getting the promotion, but it sure does raise the spidey senses. Have they been told their names are going to come up in a lot of trade rumors? Or just a coincidence they both are feeling blue about their big league opportunities so far? Let the speculation begin

    Yea I peeked at the upcoming schedule earlier and oof - 3 at PIT Jones/Skenes/Ashcraft, 4 at STL, 3 vs Yankees, 3 vs LAD.

    Bieber with back to back good starts against playoff teams.

    Yep, they have so many fun young arms. Fuentes, Caminiti, Briggs McKenzie + their injured guys.

    You guys will probably be correct and they will stay their typical course. I would be absolutely irate if I was a Brewers fan, knowing the org is sitting there with 9 top 100 prospects according to BA's midseason update, if they don't make a substantial move. Especially after losing Woodruff for the year and Harrison's forearm injury. Here's to hoping they don't and Skubal stays in the AL.

    Det would pack Skubal's bags so fast if they were offered Made.

    Those are big names being thrown around for Skubal. My guess is Skubal lands on one of the Braves/Brewers/Rays. For the Brewers/Rays, he’s a rental, both teams have a ton of interesting prospects, and if this isn’t the year to go for it being small markets, they never will. For the Braves, they have a lot of appealing young arms + pairing with Sale would be a disgusting 1/2 punch in the playoffs.

    On Gausman, last season he had an 8 game stretch from 5/9-6/19 where he had a 5.28 ERA (4.26 xERA, 4.27 FIP). Rest of season - 17 starts 2.78 ERA 3.44 xERA 3.02 FIP. I know this specifically because I traded for him in a Dyn league after his 6/19 start and totally lucked out how he finished the season. He's currently in a 9 game funk (6.56 ERA, 4.30 xERA), but still holding a solid K rate. If the asking price on Gaus is something close to what Jason provided, he would be a no brainer add for me. Also had a 2.93 postseason era last season in 30 innings.

    They're becoming the running backs of baseball. But yea, there's no putting the cat back in the bag at this point. Velocity = Outs. Velocity training at younger ages is becoming more and more prevalent.

    Reynolds is having a big bounce back year, Cruz was having a bounce back year before he went down and Lowe/O'Hearn were solid off-season pickups who are having nice seasons. There's regression coming at some point for Endy Rodriguez and Valdez though as they've both had extremely hot starts since their call ups.
  13. KCCub
    He's got something going on. Either mechanics are slightly off or dealing with some fatigue. His 4-seamer averaged 96.3 last game and did not touch 98 for the first time since Apr. Averaged 98.8 and 98.1 the previous two seasons (Down to 96.9 on the season average). I wouldn't be shocked if they give him a little extended break here soon.
  14. KCCub
    Most likely phantom, but it would almost be a relief if the knee injury has been part of his pitching issues.
  15. KCCub
    Yea, it's better than a complete tear. Looks like 4-6 weeks is the typical rough estimate for returning. This is worse news however - He went on the IL on 6/9/24 for that injury and did not return that season.

    Well played idiot
  18. KCCub
    You guys are welcome. I dropped Dansby from my fantasy team on 6/16

    I think there's three things that lead to the exasperation around the Cubs pitching injuries - 80% of our rotation has missed or will miss considerable time for injuries. Combined with the emergence of Brown and him now going down, there's not much more to be said here The lack of promising young arms waiting in the wings at Iowa. This is where Wiggins and Birdsell would have been penciled in and relieved some of the angst. Horton was that guy last year. We just lack the Didier Fuentes and Logan Henderson's that the other teams at our competitive level have that can be called up and provide young upside. Seems like we have some up and coming arms at the lower levels, so I hope there's more of a priority around holding onto them and restocking our upper end of the farm moving forwards Fluke injuries or not this year, our rotation was compiled with mainly guys who have traditionally had injury/inning concerns. Cease was available. His arm could blow at anytime, but he's been a workhorse 5 years now with TOR ability. Many of us wanted him because of this.

    I think Fangraph's is having issues right now. It started giving me fits about 10 minutes ago
