    Agreed. He is not good defensively and he should have caught that ball. After that I am not sure what happens. But I would have liked to have found out.

    Also the double play they should have turned in the first inning would have saved 2 runs.
  3. Rcal10
    Does he throw out the runner at home if he catches the ball? I am not sure he does. The bigger non play to me was the perfect double play ball that wasn’t turned in the first inning. That has to be a double play. Instead the next guy homers.

    Calling it now. Suzuki walk off.

    Considering the major league average is .239, I would say what you said about the Cubs is probably true about most teams in baseball.
  6. Rcal10
    What did he do when he didn’t strike out tonight? And who are they going to play right now anyway.
  7. Rcal10
    If he has a good year there is no way he stays here next year. He would be able to get something like 6/$150 at the least. That is a much better sure thing then the Cubs did 1 year. So if he stayed and played first he would be very overpaid.

    Bad feed from Madrigal. Mastrobuoni doesn’t have a puss arm. It was just a bad feed to him.
  9. Rcal10
    Yep. Announcers said Davis homer was the farthest ball hit in Syracuse this year.
  10. Rcal10
    Davis with another bomb.

    Slider is a wipe out pitch.

    Horton came one pitch from an immaculate inning. 3rd batter fouled off the 0-2 pitch. Popped up on the next pitch. 10 pitch(all strikes) inning.
  13. Rcal10
    Well they only play 3 against the Braves, so they can’t go 1-3.
  14. Rcal10
    That is all I am saying. Of course he isn’t going to pitch to a 1.49 ERA all year. But even double puts him just under 3.00. (For rounding sake, let’s call it 3.00). That’s still a very fine pitcher who I wouldn’t mind as the #2 or #3 guy in a playoff series.

    One of the biggest talking points of it not being sustainable is the batting average with men in scoring position. And it is extremely low. However the man has a WHIP of 1.034, so it is not like many are getting on base anyway. Sure he will regress some. And initially I still considered him to be a very solid BOR starter even with regression. However, if he keeps up the WHIP number he will be a very solid #2 or, at worst, #3 starter even if the BA goes up with men on or in scoring position.

    Is it wrong to start to get a little excited about Davis again? I mean he is hitting the ball hard at AAA. He is still only 24. If an outfielder went down now, would he come up over Canario? I can’t help but pull for him. He has had so much bad luck. It would be awesome if he actually made it all the way back.
  17. Rcal10
    I agree. But I was responding to the post that suggested Bellinger moving to first. First of all, if he opts back in for next year that means he doesn’t think he can get a better deal than the Cubs deal of 2/$50M. Which means he might not have been very good this year. Next, if he is moved to first that means Busch failed. It also means he wasn’t very good offensively in 24’ and now he is the Cubs $30M first baseman. All of which is not an ideal situation. Which is why I said I hope he is not moved to first. But you are correct, he could move to right or left and the Cubs could made a trade to open up that spot. That wouldn’t be awful.
  18. Rcal10
    True. And not like the Braves started bad pitchers. I am pretty sure they felt pretty good with Lopez, Sale and Morton going.
  19. Rcal10
    What are you referring too?
  20. Rcal10
    And there would be a good chance in 4 years people would be complaining about how much the ins gave up for a pen arm. No way would I give up all 3 of those guys.
  21. Rcal10
    I hope not. Because that means they are paying a first baseman $30M for 1 year. It also means Busch failed. They may look to move Happ. To me that is a better solution then having to put Bellinger at 1st.
  22. Rcal10
    Except in 2 of those 4 they have very good pitchers going. They play the Brewers for 2 and neither pitcher starts. Against the Cubs in the 7 they play them now, 4 are started by their top young pitchers.
  23. Rcal10
    How does PCA get on to lead off an inning and not move? Plus, how does he not get to second on the ball Suzuki hit. He may be fast, but he has trrrible baseball instincts.
  24. Rcal10
    Doesn’t look good for tonight’s game. Yikes, what a line up!!!!
  25. Rcal10
    Wouldn’t it be easier to put Morel at 2nd and Wisdom at 3rd? That said. I am fine with Mastrobuoni at second and Wisdom on the bench tonight.
