  1. Jed’s biggest mistake was drafting Howard instead of PCA.
  2. DA must not like Dexter. Trading him hike starved for talent on the d line is bold.
  3. Nothings ever exact but they’d likely be 1 ahead of Milwaukee at 86 wins, give or take. Who knows how many fewer innings they’d play with all the extra inning games and less balls hit in play with a higher K% which boost the defensive metrics with more opportunities. Either way this upcoming series would determine first place. It’s demoralizing.
  4. Jed should be fired for passing on PCA in the draft for Ed Howard.
  5. Before May 30th he only had a 91 wRC+ in 58 games coming off a 106 game stretch with a 70 wRC+. It was the height of the PCAAA meme. How many players have stared a season with a 91 wRC+ over their first 2 months, only to sit at a 158 on the season 136 games in?
  6. Cubs currently have a 28.8 gap in fWAR between their position players and pitchers. This is a historically unbalanced team.
  7. Cubs are currently at 32.5 positional fWAR, almost 10 wins more than the #2 Dodgers are also tied for dead last with Washington at 3.3 pitching war.
  8. It’s 100% the right call. I still get strong cravings 3 years into abstinence just by the smell of it.
  9. Cubs LOB% by the pitching staff has dropped by over 3% since Swanson’s injury, which ranks 18th. Cubs are still #2 in baseball in LOB%.
  10. Maybe it’s the app I’m using but he’s being clocked at 91-92. I’m not watching it on TV.
  11. The offense and starting pitching are both clicking and they’re coming off of a 2-5 stretch. It could be a baseball is stupid type of thing, or this patchwork bullpen is going to end up being costly and this delayed reality is starting to kick in.
  12. It means that blaming Counsell for bullpen mismanagement when he’s chosing between the least stinkiest turd is asinine.
  13. They’re 25th in xERA, 29th in fWAR and only 14th in ERA, in a relatively neutral run scoring environment. Either the defense is the sole explanation for this, or they’re leveling off closer to their expected runs allowed with less luck on hard contact allowed, and losing Swanson is a massive blow.
  14. Missing the playoffs while winning the tie breaker against the 3 wildcard teams ahead of them, going, a combined 15-4 against Philly. SD and AZ. That would be extraordinary.
  15. It was probable a week ago when all they need was to win 16 of their last 34. Now finishing 14-13 with 7 left vs Milwaukee, 6 3 and 3 vs Miami, Boston and Atlanta is more of a possibility than a probability at this point, as is home field advantage. We’ll need April-May 8th and June 11th-August-12 Counsell to show up for these final 27 games.
