The reason for their offensive resurgence in the first place was riding Happs hot bat. A career 3.5-4 WAR player will regress to the mean and who else on this roster can reliably pick up the slack for a full season? They’re bloated payroll is towards “good” players, not underperforming stars Which makes this roster construction even more absurd.
-
2nd and third, 0 outs and our 3 and 4 hitters up. What happens? You guessed it. Strike out strike out. Now up to our 200 hitting 5 hole hitter.
-
What’s the biggest comeback victory this team has had this season?
-
I’d feel the same way if it wasn’t the 20th+ time it’s happened this season. At least one late inning lead coughed away/week is expected. Jed will make a transaction for a pen arm with a proven track record in 2027.
-
How many times this year have they gone an entire week without 6 homeruns?
-
Why Is Morel in front of Happ?
-
Cubs can’t beat marginally above 500 nl teams over performing their pythag win% by 6+ games going back to last season.
-
That 11-21 record vs the central is the difference between 51-46 and 46-51 if they were played 500 ball. throw in tie breaker losses to every NL wld team and you can stick a fork in them. When will Jed replace the replacement level production from morel and Amaya? 2026? Like the pen he’s no fan of addressing glaring needs.
-
They only an entire offseason to add reliable pen arms. Biggest problem is they have a dismissal 11-21 record vs the central and have lost the season series to every potential wildcard team. games like last night are why there’s people still on the fence about being an arm away. Too little too late.
-
Yankees are a logical trade partner. They lack production outside of Soto and Judge and Jed literally built a team around complimentary bats. -2.5 WAA when you subtract Judge and Soto. 5.8 WAA with them. Elite bats. Wish we had one.
-
What the Heyward and Swanson signings (so far) have taught us is spending $ isn’t inherently bad, spending $ on guys with a lot of their value coming from their glove hasn’t worked for us.
-
They went 1-2-3 mid blink. I guess severe regression to the mean is inevitable after that 15 run outburst on Thursday and Friday.
-
Dansby .04 points away from the Mendoza line. Those defensive runs saw though right Jed? I’ll raise your $100 million Atlanta and add swap those zeros with 7’s..
-
How does this happen under the watch of a $40 million manager? They look like Lou Browns Guardians fans in the spring training scene.
-
So much for that all elusive 3 game winning streak. Time to get back to earth.
-
I’d imagine it’d be similar to 04 Red Sox if you replaced the bats of big papi and Manny with Morel and Amaya.
-
I don’t know if it’s more amazing that our catchers have a combined .465 OPS batting 176 or the fact the Whitesox have even worse numbers across the board.
-
That’s the thing. Jamo, Happ, Suzuki, Cody, forget Swansons immovable contract are clogging the payroll. All these guys are a solid deadline addition on a World Series contender and nothing more. Imagine the 04 Red Sox minus Big papi and Manny. Mueller Millar Nixon and Damon are nice complimentary players. Jed trying to build around this caliber of players is a one of a kind team building experiment.
-
Before Monday. Meant to edit
-
I can’t remember the last time they hit a 3 run homer this season before Monday.
-
Is this the inning where they score their token runs?
-
Screw OPS and strike out pitchers. Fill your rotation and pen full of sinker ballers with solid defenders up the middle. That’s the winning ticket. Phillies have no clue what they’re doing.
-
Moving dansby down to 7th really lit a fire under his a**. Much needed wake-up call.
-
Amaya certainly defeats the purpose of the universal DH.
-
They looked the part in April. They’re the most expensive 88 win ceiling team of all time but how do you make sense of this team wide offensive face plant?
