22 strikes and 16 balls. Not quite on the level of his last few outings,
-
The 2-5 hitters outside of Happ need to get going. 2 home runs and zero in the last 17 games from Busch, Suzuki and Bregman won’t be enough unless Nico finishes with an 11 war.
-
Easily the most mundane, boring win of the season. That’ll do though.
-
Busch is lost.

Pope Bob is a Sox fan for whatever that’s worth. -
All 30 teams played spring training in Arizona or Florida. I think everyone is affected equally whether you’re from the south or from Minnesota like Busch who hasn’t hit in any temperature.
-
Busch and Mo last season in the minors he extreme platoon splits but close to dead even in 2024. Is this an organizational philosophy coaching, left handed bats to adjust their swings paths towards mashing righties or is this typical throughout the league?
-
Did Mo have bad splits vs lefties in the minors?
-
Is this some kind of joke?
-
He definitely would’ve been if you sacrificed his defense for 20+ homerun pop run pop.
-
I think the Sox 4% edge in inducing infield pop ups, which Fangraphs treats as strikeouts in their war calculation, without effecting FIP on the stat sheet and the pitcher friendly Wrigley park factor element relative to Sox park are the reasons for this.
-
UPS finally delivered Bregmans pitch com hacking device and he hooked everyone up. @Banks-WilliamsI knew something was up.
-
And a nice bounce back from last year when they went 0-3 vs Luzzardo and Nola scoring 2 earned runs in 19 innings compared to 11 earned in 10.1 since Tuesday.
-
He hasn’t had an extra base hit since opening day either.
-
How bad is the Phillies defense and or how unlucky was Luzzardo with batted ball luck last year to where his FIP was almost a run lower than his ERA? The lineup is as deep as advertised so far scoring 35 runs in 4 games without an XBH from Suzuki, Busch or Bregman.
-
Bregman stole the Phillies signals?
-
Luzzardo killed us last year too.
-
Good work against Luzzardo.
-
Bote was never the cubs top prospect, let alone a top 100 at any point in his career. Unlike Bote Shaw still has trade value on a team that wants a high floor, young infielder with 6 years of team control. I see a smidge of Addison Russell in him too.
-
Cubs have a 410 team wOBA since Sunday and a 313 xWOB with a 56% ground ball rate.
-
Captain Nico.
-
Of course they hit a horsefeathers 3 run homer with their guys on while white we hit into a double play. horsefeathers the Phillies.
-
If Happ hit free agency this year I wonder if they’d end up trading Shaw and keeping Cassie.
-
Right. But it’s unclear what his future as a Cub is and any future in the infield was slammed shut when they extended Nico. Do they want him under team control for 6 years to be Zobrist 2.0? Is he auditioning to become Happ or Suzukis successor? Are they waiting for a player at a position of need to become available and then shop him? It’s just odd to see a team so focused on on staying under the tax spending a combined $326 million on 2 infielders blocking their top prospect at his natural position.
-
It’s an incoherent plan. I’m assuming they want to keep their options open hoping he can supplant Happ? Unless you DH Bregman and develop Mo into an everyday catcher then he’s a lame duck if he still has an infield caliber bat.
