    That would be depressing.

    I think he's setup to have a pretty good year at the plate plus adding more SB with all the walls at leadoff if he keeps up the plate discipline. Adding all those extra PA at leadoff will help the WAR too. He has a shot at NL MVP.

    That's a fully armed and operational Dansby Swanson!?!
  4. Stratos
    What a crazy game. Biggest scoring inning in forever. Swanson and everyone in Cubsdom needed that.

    Could be like Sosa and McGwire in '98

    They also said Shaw is currently healthy but staying in Iowa for now to get some ABs. Pedro is doing OK in his role. He looks pretty comfortable at the plate.

    The solo HR will happen, but he doesn't seem to be burying that splitter low out of the zone like he was earlier in the year. Leaving more over the plate, some were hammered in previous starts.

    We knew this was going to be a tough stretch with Boyd and Cabrera out. The bats really needed to hit to keep our heads above water until they were back. The worst possible time for the bats to limp. The pen let us down too today. When Boyd/Cabrera are back the pen gets a bit better. Rea likely moves to the pen and Rolison goes down

    You can never count out the Brewers. We should assume they'll be good unless they show regression on the field. We still have a chance for the division but it's not trending well, the Brewers look like they haven't skipped a beat from last year. I was never convinced they were a 90 win team. High 80s seemed right, and still does depending on injuries. Some guys were due to regress a bit offensively. My opinion on the position side hasn't changed at all since March. I agree that one month of slumps doesn't change anything. Shota had been terrible to finish the year, Tailon and Rea were going to be a year older. Cabrera was promising and still is but it was unknown what we'd get from him with the walks and he's also had arm issues, Boyd was pitched into the ground last year and would be a year older Steele was also an unknown. So the rotation was the biggest unknown, as I guess it usually is for most teams these days.

    Remember before the season everyone thought we were a 90 win team and the Brewers were going to finally regress?

    He might not have a concussion but it seems like the pitch knocked his eyeballs crooked (medically speaking).
  12. Stratos
    He ded?

    Yeah the Brewers don't trade away prospects for rentals, they do the exact opposite. But we don't even necessarily need a Skubal, we just need any good SP. But if they want to beat the Dodgers they need like 3 Skubals, 2 Soto's, and probably another beastly reliever.

    Gosh that Motorola jersey arm patch looks handsome.

    Bring up Bummer.

    Wicks sucks and can't throw an inning without being shelled. I guess he's an option in the pen among other sucky Iowa arms if someone gets hurt but I can't see him going more than 1 inning unless he's mopping up. His numbers in Iowa gave been bad this year so far. He ideally belongs there. Unfortunately our SP depth beyond Brown is in desperation terrority.

    Here's a good article to a key reason we sucked in May. TLDR: We annihilated fastballs in April, teams adjusted and started throwing certain guys a ton of breaking balls. Seiya and Dansby were leading the MLB in braking balls seen, Amaya and Bregman weren't too far behind: https://www.mlb.com/news/cubs-seeing-historic-amount-of-breaking-balls-may-2026 Also, Mo was last on the team in May in strikes thrown to him (30%). He was also worst on the team in swings on pitches outside the zone. Pitchers have adjusted to him.

    Total team stats are what matters with position players. It doesn't matter how that's distributed amongst players on the team. Unless you have a study that says differently. Also, PCA is a superstar. He's worth 5-6 wins. He's at least as good as Tucker and probably better.
  20. Stratos
    Horton, Boyd, Cabrera, and Steele on the IL really sucks
  21. Stratos
    We need Boyd and Cabrera ASAP
  22. Stratos
    Seems like everyone else is walking a ton then Dansby comes up with RISP and flails. His whole hitting approach is bad. Trying to pull fastballs so he pulls off badly on any other pitch type.
  23. Stratos
    Anyone know the story of the 80 shirtless dudes in the OF seats? That a frat house with season tickets or something?

    Shout-out to Uribe's Degeneration-X crotch-chop.
  25. Stratos
    Yes.
