Yeah, Peralta will be nice, but anybody who can help would be good. Right now, it's just Shota and Ben, who pitched only 8 innings as a SP, and for the rest of the rotation, we have to hope they have a good day.
Remember last year? Jamo had the same HR problem in May and June. He got hurt. After he came back from the IL, the problem magically disappeared. I think he gave up only a few HR's, after he came back in Aug, including the playoffs. I guess he needs to do the same.
I want Ben to be a SP. When Steele comes back, they can decide which one goes to the pen, depending on their performance.
Also, I want the Cubs to keep Shota for 2 more years.
Man, I didn't want to know, but I just found this. Shota gave up 5 hard hits in 7 innings, and Maton 4 in one inning. The Cubs had only 5 hard hits, and 2 of them were Mo.
I agree Seiya should be extended/re-signed, but like I said 15min ago, Happ should be cheaper, so keeping Happ would probably make more sense. If the Cubs keep Seiya, I would be surprised, at least a little.
Don't complain about Happ. He's leading the team in HR and OBP, and the 3rd best in bWAR. Here's the fact. Happ is better hitter than Ohtani so far in this season.😁
