  1. You’re right. During that 5 game stretch he didn’t walk even once though.
  2. PCA hasn’t struck out in his last 12 PAs. Id be surprised if that isn’t the longest he’s gone.
  3. If you want to really flex your nuts then how about getting a base hit on a 2 strike slider.
  4. It’s happened 25 times total. The Cubs and Dodgers are the only teams with multiple 10 game winning streaks and a 10 game winning streak however.
  5. I’m guessing the roster construction is why the computer models gave the Cubs the 10th highest odds of winning a World Series of the 12 playoff team last October despite the 4th highest team fWAR in baseball.
  6. Cubs are doing it all. horsefeathers hitting, horsefeathers pitching, errors and base running blunders too.
  7. The problem is that their top 100 position prospects are both infielders, 3 if you count Shaw who are all blocked by 30+ YO old or soon to be 30 YO infielders owes over $400 million. I have no idea what the plan is when there’s 2 corner outfield spots up for grabs.
  8. That’s Dansby being Dansby. He’s always had a bipolar bat. He hit 155 in May of 2024 too. This is the same core of fickle bats we’ve had since 23 and they’ve face planted to the mean after the 10 game winning steaks. If I told you they’d be on pace for 762 runs and a 108 wRC+ 1/3rd of the way through the year, no one would bat an eyelash.
  9. PCA’s had great at bats lately with bad batted ball luck. He hasn’t struck out in a couple days either. If anything he’s been a bright spot since Friday.
  10. It doesn’t make a horsefeathers of a difference whether or not Happ, Suzuki or Swanson are in the lineup or not. They suck horsefeathers.
  11. Cubs have been out homered 26-9 during this 14 game stretch from hell.
  12. I was too young to enjoy the dynasty. My great Bulls memories start and end with Derrick rose, which was soured by Carlos boozer being their prized free agent in the greatest free agent class of all time, because of a horsefeathers owner who refused to go over the LT.
  13. What really sticks out is how the cubs have been out homered on the year 73:60. Taillon, Imanaga and Rea have been the biggest culprits. People harp on the lack of hitting with RISP, it wouldn’t matter if they could clear the bases every now and then. Only 18 in 22 games this month. Albeit they’re 10th in in xWOBA and 24th in wRC+ so it’s either a matter of bad luck or a combination of that and too much hard contact straight into the shift, by design.
  14. I did this with the Bulls too. I’ve taken a decade off and counting.
  15. Adding wins by hacking the system through finding war from elite gloves, handing out record breaking contracts to managers and giving a 32 YO Bregman 5 years, in large part due to for his great club house presence, with the idea that it’ll give this team some enormous edge on the margins, is so Jed. It’s a $240 million money ball roster. Still without a past version of Imanaga, Boyd or Bellinger to save the day and shatter their projections. They’re a 6 month slugger and true top of the rotation starting pitcher away from even competing with the Dodgers. Same as always. But the injuries to the rotation have really lowered the teams high floor.
  16. Is this a new thing? He was always attacked with sliders away on 2 strike counts but lately he’s being pounded by sliders in the strike zone no matter what the count is. He’s like the real life Pedro Serrano.
  17. Right down the God damn middle, but because it’s a slider, Seiya just rolls over it.
  18. No 2023 Steele, 24 Imanaga or 25 Boyd. No over performance from really any position.
