    Leiter didnt exactly fool anyone but hey that'll work.
  2. Illiterate Scholar
    Busch is sporting a casual 195 wRC+
  3. Illiterate Scholar
    He's kind of the total package as a hitter right now
  4. Illiterate Scholar
    My early season overreaction (is it?) would be that Shaw is the #1 prospect in the system
  5. Illiterate Scholar
    I don't think many baseball players let tough losses carry over mentally - they're confident, want to succeed personally, etc. Bad losses don't necessarily preceed losing streaks. What will carry over though is a tired bullpen and no Merryweather.

    Once his defense catches back up, Dansby's going for 8 wins this year
  7. Illiterate Scholar
    Those were some fantastic ABs that inning, my goodness
  8. Illiterate Scholar
    Hell yeah. I did not like that off the bat
  9. Illiterate Scholar
    With Freeman and Muncy coming up, I actually thought Counsell would go Neris here
  10. Illiterate Scholar
    Every ball Seiya has put into play this year has been at least 110 mph* *It seems like
  11. Illiterate Scholar
    Man he has looked awesome at the plate these 4 games. That was fun
  12. Illiterate Scholar
    Get the article ready!

    Oh, so Morel's inability to catch liners may not just be flukey
  14. Illiterate Scholar
    In addition to the bad defense, another downside of Morel starting at 3B is you potentially lose his bat late in close games.
  15. Illiterate Scholar
    Counsell is used to winning 90 games with bad run differentials. Tomorrow the one run win comes.
  16. Illiterate Scholar
    PCA hit a triple against the Storm Chasers, what is Cody still doing here
  17. Illiterate Scholar
    It cracks me up that before the sixth inning or whatever, Marquee will show a Draft Kings single inning over/under prop, then cut to gambling experts like Joe Girardi and/or Carlos Pena who ALWAYS pick the over on something that would be better for the Cubs. That feels kinda icky
  18. Illiterate Scholar
    That situation is designed by MLB to get at least one run. It started with a weak swinging bunt that advanced the runner, then Smyly was forced to nibble. I don't know that he actually pitched poorly
  19. Illiterate Scholar
    That was incredibly entertaining baseball to watch. Also potentially will end up the worst game of the season all things considered, depending on MRI results
  20. Illiterate Scholar
    Boy those were some hangers. Some luck was deserved after the ground rule double
  21. Illiterate Scholar
    Or "grabbed". He seemed pretty upset for just a cramp.
  22. Illiterate Scholar
    I could be sick.
  23. Illiterate Scholar
    Damn, Madrigal must have been working on his arm while his hammy was recovering
  24. Illiterate Scholar
    Eovaldi is a reverse splits guy so it's not a great matchup for Tauchman. And, well, left side infield defense is important behind Steele.
  25. Illiterate Scholar
    Seiya finishes top 5 in MVP Busch wins ROY Morel takes a leap offensively, but cannot be trusted to play 3B after a few months (probably not too bold) and is traded prior to 2025 opening day. Wicks struggles and the rotation in general is a problem
