Only 104mph? Do better lazy-face.
-
Oh cool it's Eastern European Randy Johnson.
-
Maybe that tall lanky basturd will be so nervous he'll come walking in all awkward like a newborn giraffe.
-
More like Blake Jerkins.
-
Oh god no Misorovsky or however you spell it that lanky bastards name.
-
I might have been wrong.
-
Hey relax we have Jordan Wicks ready to explode on the scene. He has one good pitch which is better than none.
-
Justin Turner is the slowest Cub in sprint speed. Pretty sure the pinch ran for him with Busch there.
-
Matt Shaw has a square head.
-
Did Busch play the field?
-
Colin Rea.....come on down!!!!
-
We need a rover in shallow OF.
-
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.
-
It might explodie on his way to 1st base.
-
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.

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.

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.
-
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.
-
Do you have access to data on what Busch hit vs LHP in the minors/AAA?
-
Yeah and no meaningful difference using Turner in the 1st vs a LHP pen guy than in the 8th.
-
I'm with you, except I blame more Tom than Jed. What i would like Jed to finally do is stop wasting tens of millions on old washed up vets and go get some real talent or find our bench and pen guys off the scrap heap. We wasted a bunch on Pressly, Brasier, Berti, and Turner is barely useful. Take all that money and you could easily upgrade to an impact SP.

I've learned this series that the Brewers and their fans really, really hate the Cubs and Cubs fans. I get it though. The fans I get but the team trolling is a bit low, unless it's all just a coincidence, which I doubt.

Cubs-Brewers Game One Thread, By The Numbers
Stratos replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
They also led the MLB in runs in August. They just scored 9 on us without a HR. Maybe they took the pedal off the gas a bit in Sept and cruised because of their lead in the standings, who knows. My point would be they're 3rd in the MLB in runs. -
Cubs-Brewers Game One Thread, By The Numbers
Stratos replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
The argument against Assad might be that low K rate and putting the ball in play isn't a great match up vs the Brewers who are the best baserunning team in the MLB this year according to FG. Ks, lack of walks, and lefties who can control the running game make sense. Thus Brown on the roster and Boyd game 1. -
Cubs-Brewers Game One Thread, By The Numbers

Issue is that the Brewers aren't strictly a wRC+ offense, they rely on baserunning, pressuring the defense and forcing errors etc. 3rd most runs scored in the MLB and 9th in wRC+
