Riding the A train to Pulitzerville. comprehensive and insightful.

What a detailed, but easily understood analysis of a level of espionage, in the form of a chess match within a game of individual matchups. Thank you . This dovetails with the excellent piece on their coaches . Wow This gives context to , and possibly toward , a beginning of some pitching related problem solving .
-
Having the “ last man “ on the roster coached as if his role could make a difference , not only prepares a team to maximize every piece of the whole , but builds an attitude that targeted work and routine are the foundation of a developmental process . A very telling piece , about the value the organization places on the entirety of their team , and the character traits , they seek in their players . Love this piece . Everybody counts , or nobody counts .

You are the he anchor tenant, , of a site that brings me immense enjoyment. The whole crew should take a bow . Great work . Both the micro and macro , of this team and its journey are diligently accounted for . It’s a blessing to contribute to the work featured here .

What adjustments would Tallion have to make , that might mitigate his Home run proliferation? Could he be paired with Shota ? Another banger , thanks .
-
Nostalgia riddled work , you had me at “ prolific progenitor of excitement “ Some great and exhilarating performers in that group . Enjoyable composition.

I think your thought process is on the right tracks . The train will threaten to leave the Cubs at the station . But threading the needle with a cost controlled future asset, who also increases team odds in 26 , is exactly how they should approach the deadline. The cost as you intimate , is the key to unlocking the door . The Three pitchers are all realistic, and diverse options . A wide net , with the knowledge of possible match differences, is both articulated well here and also speaks to the process that can lead to the sort of transaction the team needs .

Sent this to my brothers who were athletes at Cal and Stanford . A pair of acerbic economics wizards , who loved this piece . Not a small accomplishment. They appreciate your statistical arbitrage in forming an analysis.
-
This made my day , after a tough loss . What a metamorphosis.. Fascinating byproduct of an improved process . If you published twice a day , I would not cry .
-
Your analysis, reminds me of The book Big Data . In the following way . The Pirates put a “ center field “ level defender in left, in that huge area of the park . I am not trying to make a one for one comparison, However I do think based on what you wrote on positioning and AB skill level . The Cubs have essentially , two shortstop level players covering the line through the middle . Awesome work again .

Think Busch , on offense and as an age breakout comp. -
What other Cubs pitchers , rank at least solidly on this scale . Nice work .
-
The Team is hands down the best on defense in The League . Busch and Seyia improvements and adding Bergman , with Shaw as a super Sub , has improved the team that won last years team GG Elite D has kept shaky staff afloat . I love the metric driven breakdown . You are the best I have read , in this style of analysis .
-
It’s like we are back in “Moneyball” , with undervalued pitching replacing hitting . I look forward to your coverage . Each piece is well thought out and creative .
-
Such a forward thinking piece . I look forward to charting his process . Thank you
-
Matt Shaw has killed it . 24 year old 5 positions and 840 plus . Great Job Kudos to Brown and PCA
-
Maybe your best piece ever bro . The Orioles under Weaver in 69-75 understood , what defensive dominance can mean , In a run prevention environment. . PCA is a difference maker in a unique way . A base eraser and rally killer . Sterling work . It’s appreciated.
-
Zobrist Junior gettiing the hang of the “super sub “role . Conforto and catching depth lending to teams depth and Counsell ball .
-
I am excited to see them find solutions, by having players take advantage of the opportunities adversity brings , along side your well described challenges . Today the execution of said implementation was spot on .i believe Counsell excels in this environment . Informative and interesting work . . You do Prospectus proud .
-
Speaks to his work ethic and teams development plans . Informative piece . Thank You .

He is giving me Wilson C vibes . -
The Rise of the super sub , crush it Shaw . The offense is hitting it’s overdue positive regression to its underlying metrics .
-
Thoughtful piece for opening day . You are always pointing to the why and what if . This definitely enhances my fan experience.
-
Solid Thank You
-
The Cubs , from vets to pickups , seem to be having success in velocity enhancement. Is this outside sourced or in house ? I imagine a synergistic combo . Great work MT
