  1. Another ****** bullpen arm who can’t be trusted to hold a 4 run lead. Great
  2. This is the 14th consecutive calendar week that PCA has homered.
  3. Opposite for me. I hate Shota but I hope he gets a 6 year extension
  4. So like Willy mays Hayes leadoff single versus PCAs rbi single on a bad throw versus the Royals on Friday night?
  5. I’m pretty sure xwOBA does factor in sprint speed on weak infield hits but not outfield hits. PCA stretching a single into a double isn’t measured.
  6. There’s a high probability that they won’t maintain their 6 runs/game pace since June 11th. PCA is to thank for that.
  7. You’re not wrong, it’s just interesting how we’re worried about regression with Bregman, Nico, Swanson, Busch and Happ having slightly down years offensively to varying degrees, yet nothing significant, while showing signs of life in the second half. It’s choosing between positive regression from years of data of solid offensive production (albeit 3 of them are in their early 30’s) or negative regression based on expected stats.
  8. Theo was horrible in pass protection and it’s no coincidence that Caleb’s deep ball accuracy did a 180 when they inserted Ozzy at left tackle. Caleb was also a different quarterback with and without Brax in 2024 too. Theo is a liability, I don’t care how good of a run blocker he is.
  9. That’s not unique to Happ though. Would you say the same for Suzuki whose xwOBA is 27 points higher than his true wOBA despite his rate stats being on brand with his career average? Ramirez has more signs of impending regression than anyone else based on both the above and his limited sample size.. They’ve had a lot of BABIP luck, but their pulled fly ball rate can circumvent their disparity in team xwOBA to their actual wOBA which the Cubs lead baseball in. Although the Cubs 6 runs/game average and 350 wOBA since June 11th while only 10th in xWOBA at 317 is interesting.
  10. Brewering the horsefeathers out of the royals today.
  11. Those are annoying Injuries no doubt. If you swapped any of the above with Clay Mathews, Charles Woodson, Rodgers, or any of the pro bowl/all prowls on that 2010 team, that would be the terrible injury luck that gflore was talking about that Super Bowl winning teams don’t have.
  12. Cubs are currently 10-10 on the year against teams 19+ games under 500.
  13. Yeah them. Although none of their injured players were front line talents besides maybe Nick Collins. Edit: Collins was healthy.
  14. They had no one who could take reps out in center field besides Dean until they traded for Taylor. He’s getting rest days that weren’t previously an option. I hope anyways.
  15. They’re easy to re-aggregate. I haven’t heard any updates but the drop off from Burden to whoever wins the WR3 tryout is massive.
  16. Found it. Thanks. Happ had a 102 through the end of April and since May he’s posted a 10 wRC+ versus lefties. Wow.
  17. Where can you sort platoon splits by month?
  18. He had a 105 wRC+ a year ago from today. It’s currently at 104. Unless the dip in xWOBA and K% is something noteworthy then it’s likely his bat will become magic again.
  19. Happ had a 105 wRC+ a year ago from today. He’s currently at 104. His K% is up and his xWOBA is significantly down FWIW but I’m sure someone has an explanation for that. History says it won’t be a blimp.
  20. I hope Burden is okay.
  21. Cubs are 10-10 versus teams 20+ games under 500 and 21-10 versus NL teams above 500.
  22. Most normal loss of the second half. Al least the bullpen is rested and Happ might’ve woken up.
