August 6th vs the Reds.
-
Wasn’t that the game they beat the dodgers 8-7? They came back down 7-0 or something.
-
Happ has been better at aiming his hits lately.
-
there’s nothing damning about that that camera angle either. It was a textbook coin flip of a swing, even when you freeze it.
-
Still interesting how those doomers at Fangraph set their odds so low relative to the other contenders. The 74-64 Mets stand at 7.3%.
-
Fangraphs currently has the Cubs at 3.9% odds of winning the World Series, the lowest of any of the 12 seeded teams currently.
-
First win with the opponents scoring 5+ runs since June 22nd too.
-
First Monday win since Memorial Day.
-
The offense is still worthless but at least the starting pitching is human again.
-
Why isn't Crow-Armstrong bunting all the time?

He’d be out by a couple steps by throwing his bat in frustration after making weak contact. -
The difference here is Kelly adding likely 2-3 wins alone posting a 1.3K OPS in April and PCA homering 1/3 games for half a season. All wins that I’m not sure are anything other than an aberration and not your typical ebs and flows over the course of a season and if any stabilization occurs it’ll be from PCA and not Kelly. Andrew Vaughn on Milwaukee is the only other NL player on a contender who you can say this about. Hopefully. That’s why. Bats will heat up and I can’t imagine Seiya will end the season like he started after the ASB. Boyd no longer beating his xFIP is worrying as our game 1 starter.

They’ve swapped May with August. Seiya will heat back up, Tucker has found his swing and Busch is still grinding. What I don’t see is Kelly and PCA stabilizing back to his 1.3K OPS in April adding probably 3 wins and PCA homering every 3 games for half a season, shattering his 2025 projections. Really Boyd no longer beating his xFIP is a worrying trend, our game 1 starter. Anyone can win of course and the 12 playoff seeds where you create a much high buyers market, extra draft picks awarded to small market teams and balanced schedule has made the league less top heavy.

I think Carson’s Kelly’s 1.3K April OPS and PCA 26 home runs in a 79 game span from April-July is what was off early on. Neither of them are coming back and added a lot of wins that were unsustainable over the course of a full year. Remember when Seiya led MLB in RBIs and was second in home runs? Don’t forget that Matt Boyd is the teams ace.
-
He’s allowed the go ahead game winning run in all 3 non save situations he’s pitched in over the last 2+ weeks. It’s definitely a trend.

Blah
-
Rockies fans probably said the same thing on Friday night, how pathetic it was allowing 11 runs to the lowest scoring team in baseball since the all star break.
-
And haven’t won any game they’ve trailed by more than 1 one run at any point in 53 games.
-
They’re painfully mediocre.
-
Another nail biter against a horsefeathers team. Unless of course Colorado extends their lead, then it’s a blowout loss vs a team losing by a 2.7 rpg average.
-
It’s been the entire road trip too. Logan Webb is the only starting pitcher they’ve faced with an ERA below 4 and they’ve been handled 7/9 games.
-
Offense already hit their once per week 4< run quota on Friday.
-
433 OPS. Brujan and Berti posted a 523 and 492 for comparison.
-
Happ has bad aim.
-
ZUKI!!!!!
-
Give Boyd run support.
