  1. I humbly suggest shutting down Imanaga for the season unless the wind blows in at Wrigley.
  2. Contreras steals Edwin Diaz' walkup music like he steals signs.
  3. Go back to the African savannah you giraffy bastard.
  4. Maybe that tall lanky basturd will be so nervous he'll come walking in all awkward like a newborn giraffe.
  5. Oh god no Misorovsky or however you spell it that lanky bastards name.
  6. Hey relax we have Jordan Wicks ready to explode on the scene. He has one good pitch which is better than none.
  7. Justin Turner is the slowest Cub in sprint speed. Pretty sure the pinch ran for him with Busch there.
  8. Turner is hitting .279 and with around .750 OPS vs LHP this year. He can still hit lefties and very likely better than Busch can.
  9. I mean on Opening Day Steele, Imanaga, Boyd, Taillon, plus Rea/Brown/Assad/Wicks/Horton for the 5th and injuries is definitely an above-average rotation. Assad hurt, Steele hurt, Wicks and Brown sucking, Boyd they've probably gassed out a bit just trying to get into the playoffs and then Horton getting hurt and Imanaga having a late-season suck-fest. Plus a deadline of SP priced out of wazoo. It is what it is I guess. I can point some fingers but there's a bunch of bad luck there too.
  10. Only 3 cutters in the MLB the last 2 seasons have had negative vertical break (Caleb Killian threw one of them last year for Cubs) so yeah kinda like sweeper or weird cutter movement. No splitters in the MLB this year had glove-side horizontal movement, so its a freak ptich. A few had negative vertical movement, including Colin Rea, but not by much.
  11. I always find it funny that a guy who looks like my plumber (Murphy) is an MLB manager in 2025. I take him as more of a pocket pancake guy than an analytics guy LOL.
  12. Cool thanks, how do you get this? Looks like Baseball Reference? edit: yup nvm found it. Thanks! Learn something new every day! Edit edit: Looked at 2022 as well, did similar. 2021 he was terrible.
  13. Do you have access to data on what Busch hit vs LHP in the minors/AAA?
  14. Yeah and no meaningful difference using Turner in the 1st vs a LHP pen guy than in the 8th.
