No one can get a horsefeathers out.
-
It’s mandatory that the pitching staff allows at least 1 home run every single game.
-
He’s still streaky but I think his floor is already higher with his increased walk rate.
-
Still -5 net home runs from PCA after you deduct from his league leading 21 errors leading to inside the park home runs.
-
More horsefeathers batted ball luck for Nico.
-
It looked like the cacher jerked his glove to his right, reverse framing a strike into a ball away.
-
Thanks for framing a strike middle away as a ball 5 inches off the plate Valenzuela and not challenging.
-
What about his league leading 27 inside the park 8 run home run errors since then though?
-
The advanced stats say he’s had awful bated ball luck and his batted ball profile is the exact same as last season. I’m leaning coincidence.
-
Today is the day that Nico’s neck is fully healed after rounding the bases on his leadoff double versus the D Backs and his awful luck goes in reverse.
-
He hit a leadoff double versus Arizona the following game and tweaked his neck while rounding first base in the first inning and sat out the next 2 games. Getting beaned could’ve been neck related more than head related if it’s at all the reason.
-
They would’ve walked to the World Series last year if not for LA having more stars and destroying the competitive balance. Now that their high $ vets are entering the backend of their deals, they’ll be crippled long term. Same with the Padres. Love somewhere in between or hate Jed, the Cubs aren’t crippled financially long term. I think peanut is too focused on the pitching staffs baseline ERA and neglecting just how much they’re bailed out by the cubs defense, but I can’t speak for him.
-
Cubs currently have the 5th highest run differential in baseball at +23. They currently trail the fourth ranked Braves by 78 runs.
-
PCA had 29 total walks last year and he’s currently at 27 with 85 games left after today.
-
That’s a weeks worth of missed run scoring opportunities packed into one inning.
-
Nico’s xBA is 290. He’d have a 330 batting average if he played for the Brewers instead of 223.

2026 Chicago Bears Offseason Thread

I’d bet on Raymond being the primary week 1 WR3 and by mid season it’s possible that Thomas or even Walker jump him on the depth chart. The weak competition should increase his target share and also Johnson’s love of speed. I don’t know how raw he truly is though. -

Yeah, I think I set it too high. -

Zavion Thomas over under for receiving yards? 250? -
Good. He needs a reset.
-
330 is ridiculous. Sign stealing comes to mind.
-
I’m surprised the pitching lab hasn’t told Assad to stop throwing his sinker like with Taillon and Cabrera. They only like low 90’s 4 seamers that are clobbered.
-
Have the bloop hitting, blow hard Brewers hacked the system with a 100 wRC+ and a 111 wRC+ with RISP since 2018?
-
If the Cubs traded Taillon for Detmers before the season straight up in an alternate universe, one of their trade targets, they’d theoretically be 42-33. Trading for a starting pitcher might not make them a top 10 pitching staff but run prevention from our gold glove defense only works if you can limit home runs. Cubs are ranked dead last in home runs allowed at 1.5 game, they’re 27th in fWAR and a modest 17th in ERA. So top 10 in ERA is certainly achievable and more economical when you factor in the amount of farm capital it’d take to land Alvarez over the available pitchers. Ben Brown in 26 and Cade Horton in 25 both have xERAs between 1.2-1,3 runs higher than their actual ERAs. No matter how frustrating the offense can be at times it can’t be overstated just how much those same streaky hitters mask the deficiencies of our pitching staff playing defense.

Glad we don’t have to face the Rockies again. They were a tough opponent.
