  1. Heartwarming. Hopefully he tweaks his arm and spends 1.5 years rehabbing from TJ surgery on the first pitch he throws next time he’s at Wrigley. Just a shame it didn’t happen in the 9th inning before his big pay day.
  2. I wouldn’t mind some diversity in the lineup. A 110-115 wRC+ is the same whether it’s packaged with 30 home runs or 3 home runs. I’d much rather have Suzuki but it’s doubtful that he comes back, and you’re stuck playing music chairs with free agent vets to bet you 88-90 wins and an NLDS ceiling.
  3. Hopefully the BABIP regression stick hits Milwaukee next year as hard as it hit Nico this year (it won’t).
  4. The pitching staff had to have been top 5 in consistency and that’s being conservative with only 9 games of allowing 10+ runs and 6 wheee they posted a shutout, in contrast to 21 and 14 for the offense.
  5. They were 31-11 in blowouts which was the second most wins with a 152 run differential including a 22-0 and 20-0 win. The cubs went 35-16 with a +155 run differential. It wasn’t at all rare. The Cubs are 125-68 in blowouts since 2023 which is far and away the highest percentage of wins coming from a blowout at 36%.
  6. Cubs don’t have the capital to trade for Detmers. They traded their best trade chip for Holmes and Hartshorn isn’t going anywhere. Just hope that the returns from Owen Cassie and Ballesteros pay off and Wiggins and add through free agency.
  7. The latest is ADOT and Tight window throws. A noodle armed quarterback with a long windup and slower feet will have more contested, tight window throws because it’s easier to jump routes before the ball is thrown and it stays in the air longer. Caleb is on the opposite end of the spectrum to an extreme degree. It reminds me of the PCA sucks truthers who told us he’s bad because of errors and stat padding against Rockies pitching. After he didn’t fall off in the second half the new angle was innings pitched.
  8. When you add his velocity to his lightening quick release and quick footwork, it makes it that much harder for defenders to react and jump your throws. Cutler had a cannon too but a long windup that was easier to read b telegraphing his throws. It’s basic physics. This is a news flash to people who think that strong arms mean distance.
  9. Caleb looks really, really good. He knows where the ball is supposed to go and is no longer hesitating to take the open, underneath throws and. It’s opened up the entire field for him. A Bears quarterback outplayed a reigning MVP runner up who threw for 321 yards on 31 attempts with a pedestrian run game.
  10. It’s as credible of a data point as first round mocks twitter account.
  11. Best case scenario. The line was gassed after the Jets game and were DNPs in practice so that’s plausible that it was precautionary I guess.
  12. Atlanta respects Caleb’s ability to throw it over the top. This wasn’t the case with Bagent back there. That’s also why he was able to dink and dunk his way to 8.5 Y/A.
  13. I hope Jackson is alright. The run game is hurting enough without Monangai and Swift playing on 1 healthy knee. Jackson would be a massive blow.
  14. 30/36 for 305. It took Caleb 2 games to complete 30 passes last year (and 4 games for 4 sacks).
  15. This is more like a Flus era loss.
  16. I think he’s playing with a bad knee.
  17. It’s a hip injury and he’s doubtful to return. That’s all we know
  18. The run game hasn’t been good today either. Caleb is has been great and Ben is doing a good job getting guys in space.
  19. Caleb’s touch looks really improved.
  20. That’s nothing. Bears are on the ass end of every 50/50 call.
