I thought he threw his bat in anger. Good thing it was a celebratory bat flip.
-
Crow-Armstrong!!!!!
-
It’s the 7-22 offense.
-
Were they fair?
-
I don’t think they’ve had a single hard hit ball today.
-
Tigers are underachieving bums. Thanks for all but guaranteeing that Skubal is either a Dodger or Brewer in the next few days. horsefeathers losers.
-
Trading Suzuki is silly. That’s why prospects exist, so you don’t weaken one area of your team to strengthen another when you’re contending for a World Series.
-
I’d be underwhelmed when there’s better arms available. He benefits from pitcher friendly Busch and gives up a lot of hard contact from what I’ve seen, not to mention what mul pointed out.
-
Dustin May is the opposite of McGreevy. His FIP and xStats don’t match his inflated ERA.
-
Is Pedro inflating his trade value? Is he at all making the Cubs less hesitant to trade him if they have a choice with his small but impressive sample size? Cubs are averaging 6.7 runs/game over their last 33 and have a +90 run differential over this latest 27-12 stretch, which is more impressive than round. Nice batted ball luck but the league xWOBA is within a point of league wOBA which wasn’t the case over the last couple years.
-
That’s the thing. There’s so many loud outs and hard hit balls to the outfield that you could argue that his glove is a net positive, despite his inability to hit left handed pitching. I can’t prove it but If we had the 2023 version of Justin Steele then maybe you’d sit him.
-
I don’t think he ever left.
-
Hardly surprising. He can’t get major league hitters out anymore. He was already on a tight leash coming off the IL and picked up where he left off. Counsel and Hoyer aren’t foolish enough to keep attempting this failed experiment. Thanks for those playoff starts Jamo. Enjoy your millions.
-
Taylor is having an outlier year. He has a 137 wRC versus lefties this year, a 62 in 2025 and he’s a career 100 guy. I’m not sure what to make of that. I would hope there’s a better options if it becomes a need by trading Shaw.
-
Only a 64 versus righties too with an 84 and 148 wRC+ splits since 2023. It feels more like a luxury than a big need but I’d love his bat platooning in the DH spot, especially with team control through 2027.
-
Great day for our big money infielders.
-
Nico’s back. At least on the stat sheet.
-
The defense is defending slap shots today. Thornton with the shittiest 4 up 4 down of July.
-
Once again 5 runs may not be enough.
-
Peterson is getting rocked like usual.
-
The only roster spot for him is as a third bullpen catcher. The guy can’t be allowed to touch a mound, he’s incapable of getting major hitters out at this point.
-
Skubal and Mize should determine how many teams are bidding on Detmers. I think? If Skubal is traded to Milwaukee or LA then it’s a doubles edged sword with the talent gap between them and everyone else widening even more, at least for 2026. I just don’t want to walk away with another Soroka. This positional group is too good to not at least give them a chance in the postseason.
-
That’s fair. Carson Kelly is the closest thing we have to one when Amaya is in the lineup.. Happ is the only bat who’s awful against left handed pitching so there’s not a ton of pinch hitting opportunities but sure, if both Ramirez and or Shaw are gone then you can recalibrate in the event of an extra inning game where you’re pinch hitting Conforto for Kelly or something.
-
Why do they need a right handed bench bat? Because Happ couldn’t get on base as the tying run in a game that they lost 8-7? That’s so far down the list of needs right now, especially on a team with a 119 wRC+ versus left handed pitching.
-
Cubs have given up 33 second half runs in 9 games, Taillon has allowed 11 of them.
