Few ; could bolster such an artisan view of these two phenoms , by weaving in , analytical verifications, to enhance your vivid descriptions. Great Work . Made my day .
-
Still True . Mr.T Praying he adjusts some . I enjoyed the Wriglyville Podcast .
-
I have noticed the improved splits . Thank you for the detailed analysis . The improvements from the right side , are typical of his overall growth as a player with diverse strengths . He has painstakingly taken data , used tech and coaching to attack weaknesses. He brings a level of consistency, that you documented well . I pray your family is well . Thanks for this excellent piece .

Good to know their are edges ( RH Bat ) , that have a chance to be modified internally. While continuing to maximize an ascending bat , like Busch . Thanks for the detailed bio mechanical references .

This is what I pay for . Explains a lot . Including how patched together staff is holding up . At least partly so . keep these up Mr T kudos

You stated precisely, where I think they are at. They are in a position to be nimble . Will there talent identification machine , make the pick , that can be optimized by the pitching Infrastructure? Awesome piece. It reminds me some of the Joy is in the yet to be determined. Including how many “ edge wins or more , PD can foster. Shaw looks solid .

I love the proactive creativity . Use your asset's , and develop and utilize as many , in context as possible . If Alcantara is as strong a base runner and fielder as the data we have been presented indicate . His floor , would allow selective match ups . The catching situation so far is benefiting both players , in a loose version of what you seem to be saying . An added benefit being continued development of A young player . Your pieces are a level up , in thought provocation. Keep banging those keyboard letters .

I heard Sharma talking about mechanical changes . You are the king of Bio Mechanical clarifications . Appreciate it .
-
Prophetic indeed
-
Your bio mechanics data , both explains and helps validate your hypothesis. His approach change, has been incremental , but small changes over time often produce significant results . Gaizan is the Japanese term for this process . Look forward to your work . Always thought provoking.

Miss your detailed and informative work . I pray all is well . Happy Easter -
What a spot on , context piece . As a kinesiology/ bio mechanics and Exercise Physiology guy Who coached Track and Field and Football for 40 years , this piece is amazingly specific . The scientific lens you approached with this was both accurate in its mechanical minutiae , as it was in widening the appreciation fans might now hold , for the intricate details , physically necessary to play healthy and well . I have a question , when Nico returns How close do you think this Cub team is defensively, to the 2016 squad .

Thanks Mathew , very kind of you . You are a good man , in addition to being a gifted writer . I continue to anticipate your pieces , like I did the sporting news , when I was a boy .

As we celebrate the birth today of a daughter we lost , I realize reading this piece , I realize the source of our sometimes differing world views , while sharing in a common grief . I find you an author who first follows the numbers . Life can and does miraculously leap outside them . Forgiveness , the right to put aside ( literally ) , the hurt done to us , is an example. I think even within your chosen style ( I like following data , while leaving open the opportunity for change ) , you provide some informative context . PCA has a style much more reminiscent of a Jackie Robinson than a Brandon Nimmo . That style drove me to want to be an NFL WR when I was in HS . Flamboyant, joyous , Confidence . But your swing percentage analysis , correctly indicates , what could be , a large offensive inhibitor, if not changed . You are a good check on the lens I fan with . Hope can and does renew , in life , as well as this “ MVP machine “ era of PD . In my families 40 plus years at a high level of athletics and academics , data has served us well in this context . I enjoy and benefit from your written endeavors . I feel as if some layers were peeled back today . You have a nice gift I pray we both see life a little more in the margins .

In addition to being a left hand bat with this profile . The final spots are filled with intrigue. What happened to the days , where the fan base , had Jose Macias , as it’s 25 th man whipping boy . lol

The IFA talent and young Rule 4 draft talent is in double figures with high end pieces . The money and effort The franchise has put into infrastructure is the key to becoming a WS threat . Sustainability will have a direct correlation , to the development of this demographic. The Cubs cast both a wide and directed net in IFA . Far East , Cuba , Mexico , Columbia , Panama , Brazil , DR and Venezuela. Volume and large high profile bonus buys .

Well researched , this will enhance my enjoyment , in watching his potential Development curve .
-
Makes sense as usual . Depth is huge . While not specific to this instance. Counsell spoke of the bottom third of the roster. ,As being one of the differences between the Cubs and Brewers . I believe that gap has been bridged , both in the floor and ceiling . Your coverage of this , as it pertains to most of the non “ regulars “ signings , has brought some clarity, to the piecing together of the roster puzzle .
-
These long form pieces , are like the chocolate chip cookies that I am not supposed to consume . Much too good to pass up .
-
Great reference piece , I always appreciate your eye on context . The Tucker contract will be interesting,
-
Am I a nerd , because I love the detail in the analysis of these off the grid, NRI dudes .
-
Been a month for myself and my wife health wise . Your writing always peaks my interests and perks me up . Good call initially and even stronger analysis in this piece . As you surmised , this acquisition fits the orgs value based , and infrastructure backed ( Trombo and company ) typology .
-
That makes sense on multiple levels .
-
Tyler Zombro and the pitching infrastructure. Are keys to These moves . The Run prevention component, , was ahead of the league in 15-16. Over the past 4 plus years .The Cubs” like the Astros in 13-22, have become “ fast followers “ , with large funding for personell ( FO/ T and D and tech , bio med and coaching expenditures , ) with matched funding for facilities and tech . Cubs have bridged gap and would argue Zombro and a couple others Are in the “ bleeding edge “ category. I think Matt Trueblood needs to lend his expert's lens , to a specific piece on how these areas are shaping an ongoing sustainable roster build .
