    Mo is getting destroyed by high fastballs.
  2. Geographyhater8888
    Degrom has given up at least 1 earned run in every start that he’s pitched at least 5 innings. History on our side here, right?
  3. Geographyhater8888
    Rangers home alternates look like those Milwaukee Beers uniforms in the movie BASEketball.
  4. Geographyhater8888
    Give us a makeup call.
  5. Geographyhater8888
    Suzuki, Busch, PCA and Conforto are all red hot.
  6. Geographyhater8888
    Mo went from 2 hits/game to 2 hits/week. I don’t think he’s even recorded a hit this week.
  7. Geographyhater8888
    For all his faults, I highly doubt it’s all Poles. It’s unlikely that Ben was begging for defensive line in the third round and Poles ignored him and drafted a receiver and tight end.

    He was held back as a freshman for not being able to grasp the playbook and wasn’t allowed to play in his first 9 games as a sophomore because of academic ineligibility. Draw your own conclusion.

    My Tin foil hat conspiracy is that they’re being punished by the league for stumbling over getting a stadium deal done. The lack of comp picks was a joke and selectively enforced in this one instance.
  10. Geographyhater8888
    Brewers Pirates and Cardinals have the 1, 3 and 4th ranked farm systems. LA is somehow number 2.
  11. Geographyhater8888
    The 2016 Cubs at the 40 game mark were 29-11, only 2 games better. Of course their run differential was +113 compared to +50 with 3 starting pitchers who received cy young votes and 2 top 5 finishers.

    Nico was hitting 326 from September 1st of last year-may 1st in 65 games including the playoffs. It could be a neck issue or simply regression to the mean. Bregman has been the most disappointing.
  13. Geographyhater8888
    They’ve been getting their asses kicked when they do lose, which hasn’t been very often lately. Not a fan of losing 6-0 in a Leiter vs Cabrera matchup either.
  14. Geographyhater8888
    I know his salary and control through 2027 is an obstacle but I wonder if Degrom will be shopped.
  15. Geographyhater8888
    Yeah. Long is blocked this year and unless he can learn to play a corner outfield spot he’ll he blocked as a DH too with Mo being the long term solution. Sure they could split time but it he’s involved in a package for Peralta with Alcantara and another piece then you pull the trigger. Trading Shaw makes the team worse than trading blocked prospects if you care about 2026.
  16. Geographyhater8888
    Trading Shaw also makes this team worse in a year with World Series aspirations or at least a lot worse than if you’d trade blocked prospects like Alcantara for example. Trading Shaw is a non starter for me. Alcantara, Long, and Ramirez or Rojas would make a lot more sense for not only 2026 but beyond with a blocked infield and likely only one corner outfield spot to fill next year if Happ and Suzuki both walk, and I think at least one of them will be a Cub next season.
  17. Geographyhater8888
    Consecutively at that.
  18. Geographyhater8888
    Not just 2 10 game winning streaks in the first 40 games but consecutive 10 game winning streaks sandwiched between a 3 game losing streak. Has this happened before?
  19. Geographyhater8888
    It won’t get any easier against Randall Grichuk and the Whitesox.
  20. Geographyhater8888
    It’s remarkable how PCA is on pace for over 6 fWAR with a 99 wRC+. No one else in the top 30 is under a 120. His catch probability on balls at 20% are 90%+ for him. Bregman’s getting jammed way too often. I hope it’s not a bat speed issue anymore than the previous few seasons.
  21. Geographyhater8888
    The day Bobby Bonilla gets his last paycheck from the Mets will be the day that people stop suggesting that their favorite team signs him.
  22. Geographyhater8888
    Have the pitch counts been higher than average for our starting pitchers?
  23. Geographyhater8888
    What about Trevor Bauer though?
  24. Geographyhater8888
    With 7 game winning streak and an already wounded bullpen, it’s less than ideal for 5 of the 7 wins to end within 2 runs with 4 being one one run wins, further taxing the bullpen. Not complaining but the leverage spots got in more work than ideal especially with the Boyd injury. Although credit to Counsell for limiting the innings of our best arms.
  25. Geographyhater8888
    They definitely see something in him. Someone who can burn garbage time innings much like Flexen and an upgrade over Corbin Martin.
