But his under the hood metrics say that he’s vastly outperforming them even with a great pitch mix. So is the pitch mix helpful getting him out of jams more so than in bases empty spots?
-
Assad has a 2.24 ERA over his last 56.1 innings pitched and a 4.84 FIP. I’d love someone to do a deep dive on him. It’s like trying to solve the Brewers phenomenon.
-
Because he gets himself out of a ton of jams a lot more often than not, clutch!!!!
-
Dodgers are 27-25 against us since 2018.
-
That I completely agree with. His sinker and high GB rate play right into the strength of the team. For run prevention purposes he’s been very effective and more so than Rea.
-
That looks likes a cutter.
-
That, PCA, and the third base position. As underwhelming as Bregman has been, he’s on pace for over 3 fWAR. In 2025 Cubs third baseman combined for .4 fWAR.
-
I want to trust Cabrera more. For Shota I’d give him a very quick hook. When he’s off he implodes, which isn’t ideal in a playoff game.
-
You can sort by opponent baseball reference under splits on a players profile. There’s also splits versus above and below 500 teams too. I don’t know if it’ll prove anything but it’s an option.
-
I hope Cabrera gets fixed. I don’t trust Shota to start a playoff game.
-
Learning that I don’t know horsefeathers is what I keep learning on here.
-
I’m guessing Jed dangled Rojas to a few teams as a headliner for a cost controlled starter and there wasn’t enough interest? The key takeaway in all of this is MLBs top 100 prospects list isn’t a proxy for John Mozeliak or Jeff Greenbergs top 100 list.
-
If the playoffs started today or when Holmes finishes his rehab outings, how does the rotation line up in a best of 3/5/7 series?
-
Saying “everyone” was hyperbole. I wasn’t at all shocked that they landed Gausman. I was expecting a couple of rental relief arms too but I wasn’t at all expecting Jed to trade Rojas for anyone without multiple years of control. He compromised on years to acquire Clay Holmes and I’m stoked.
-
Of course. Did you expect or even entertain the possibility that Jed would do something bold and trade Rojas for 2 high profile rental starting pitchers like Gausman and Holmes?
-
Gausman has a 2.41 FIP over his last 5 starts.
-
It’s Hard to believe that this team is currently only 1 game worse than the 65-48 2025 Cubs at the 113 game mark with sub replacement level pitching for 2 months. Suzuki is having a really solid year. He’s basically canceling out Happ’s disastrous last 2 months.
-
Today was a Good day.
-
Pete just missed that. He’s struggling to square up fastballs right down the middle today.
-
Bregman will come through one of these years.
-
I hope that wasn’t a designed hit and run. No sane person would call for one with Happ. Nice no challenge too. Again,
-
Cubs were homeless in their 4 games so they were beyond due. Busch needs a day off badly.
-
Leopard!!!!
-
3 weak ass hits and that horsefeathers face Tommy Edman hits a home run because of course he does.
-
Cubs haven’t won a series opener in Wrigley since June.
