3/5 games with 5 or fewer hits. They’ve looked like horsefeathers when they haven’t faced Miles Mikolas and minor leaguer Ryan Johnson. Ugly start.
-
horsefeathers.
-
I forgot that you can’t double switch a DH. I’m an idiot. This is only a relevant topic if Mo is sent down to Iowa to tweak his swing like Shaw if he struggles, . I don’t think Conforto has any 2008 Jim Edmonds magic in him to worry about splits or really any lefty hitting internal options.
-
Best case scenario is Shaw has the bat to justify being a starting corner outfielder. If not, I think the payoff is greater if you can trade for a corner outfielder bat with more upside. If there’s injuries to any of our expensive middle infielders they’re horsefeathered anyways in a playoff series. But man do I miss the days when they Contreras, Soler Coghlan and Zobrist would all split time in left field.
-
So Shaw would DH versus left handed starting pitchers?
-
Versus left handed pitchers specifically, is the defense better with Shaw at third base or Shaw in right field with Bregman/Suzuki at DH? This a platoon lineup, not an every day lineup.
-
I’m not concerned that Bregman will be a liability like Morel, but I prefer Shaw in the infield when Suzukis knee is fully healed. Shaw is a better defender at this state of his career.
-
Half the lineup is without an XBH. Swanson and Kelly will be alright.
-
I want Shaw and Bregman swapped at third base with Bregman sliding to DH against lefties when Suzuki returns. Bregman is so damn slow.
-
Nice. I remember the clock hands from playing MVP baseball 2005, I’m curious how The Show 27 classifies Browns ambitious sinker. The eyes say running fastball,
-
I wonder how many revs he’s generating on it compared to his 4 seamer. It’s easier to get a traditional drop on a sinker with a lower arm slot because of the side spin. He’s high 3/4. It moves more like a classic 2 seamer that he calls a sinker because of his grip. I haven’t played video games in years. Does the show actually designate a running fastball as a pitch or is it just labeled as a 2 seamer?
-
It’s huge for him to develop a third pitch he can throw for strikes so that hitters can’t sit on four seamers. Interesting that his talking sinker has more velocity than his 4 seamer.
-
Those guys have the benefit of the doubt. I guess the question is what is the likelihood of Ballesteros being sent down to Iowa much like Shaw when Suzuki returns. Not immediately of course. For a contending team you don’t have the same luxury to be patient. We’re 5 games in so obviously it’s too soon to raise the alarm bells.
-
How long until Mo looks like a guy who earned being handed the starting DH role?
-
Once upon a time Tommy LaStella was sent down to Iowa. Not because of performance but because they traded for Chris Coghlan.
-
One horsefeathers hit. That’s it?
-
He’s Fire crotch Lou Brock in the sense that we traded a hall of fame outfielder in the eyes of too many Cubs fans
-
Sure. With Cabrera matching up against a minor league pitcher, I don’t see any harm in giving him at bats.. He won’t pull a 2008 Jim Edmonds out of his ass with his bat speed though.
-
He did in the minors once.
-
Angels are very by the book when it comes to pitcher development.
-
Why is conforto in the lineup again?
-
That sucked,
-
The cheater and Ian Crapp.
-
Offense is getting Bryce Elder’d so far.
-
Losing 2/3 to scrubs would be rough. Cubs did that only 3X in 2025 and once to the Nationals.
