    I know the twittersphere sees this as a low, but I really think Bote has something left to offer.

    Just remember, league average ain’t what it used to be. Still, I agree with you.

    Great diving catch by the gold glover in LF. I know it’s crazy, but like to see them try him out back at 2B as long as he’s hitting like a middle infielder and both our middle infielders are unavailable.

    Fred would approve.

    If Bellinger is bad enough to exercise his options the next two years, he is probably the 4th outfielder/lefty off the bench.

    I hate Dansby being hurt. I like him going to the IL if he's hurt. If his lack of performance is because of an injury, that is much better than the alternative explanation that it was just him sucking. I think this is very good.

    The solution is obvious. Keep the same award, just rename it the Cy Imanaga Award.

    A win without using Leiter. Huge,

    W! Tied for first.

    AA depth. All the minor league pitchers are on the big club now. Someone has to pitch in TN. No chance he makes the majors.

    The fact that the offense is being carried by the 4th outfielder and a AAA CF nincompoop is disturbing. I mean if it was the AAA corner outfield nincompoop it might make sense, but even he isn't hitting. Can't go on much longer.

    But my eyes say that's impossible. 🙂 Everything is pretty similar to last years as far as batted ball profile (LD% is 24.3 vs 24.2 last year) for Dansby and his BABIP is actually up. Its not so much that he's swinging more, its that he's missing more. He's just walking a little less and striking out a little more. His whiff % is a career high, but not by much. So I guess it's WHEN that swing and miss happens. Hopefully it evens out over time. Happ's contact rates are even worse compared to his career norms. Same story.

    C-MO!!!

    Does Taillon look as good as his box score?
  15. Bull
    What in the world?

    Except that Little needs fielding drills.
  17. Bull
    Yeah. That’s kinda what he does with the splitter. He doesn’t miss bats, bats pound it into the ground on him.

    The way that reads is PCA in every game. You could have a game with Tauchman in CF and Canario or Wisdom in RF. More accurately, 3 of Tauchmam, PCA, Wisdom, Canario, Mervis.

    He's obviously there for his glove.

    NSBB needs a new poster primer, tutorial, FAQ, entrance exam or new poster class to bring people up to speed on topics like SSS, recency bias, opportunity cost, and sunk cost.
  21. Bull
    I agree. Pretty unlikely. Cassie’s most likely paths to the majors this year include a long term injury to multiple players and Morel continuing to hit so poorly that you don’t have to “find a place for the bat”.
  22. Bull
    I disagree. I think depth is a strength of this team. Kind of hard to anticipate your two (hopefully ) best pitchers and two best hitters going down in the first month. That said, at least on the pitching side, the replacements have been strong. On the hitting side, with happ and Suzuki down you get a good look at a prospect and Wisdom waiting in the wings.
  23. Bull
    Check out the Canario thread.

    Season saved.

    I think this will be huge. I don't trust his fly ball profile with the wind howling out in June. He will give up home runs. But if he's not offering up free passes in front of the occasional long ball, I think he can do well in Wrigley. I don't think he'll be THIS good, (maintaining a 0.00 ERA over a complete season is historical somewhat difficult) but I still think he has the possibility to be a solid 2 if he remains elite at not walking people.
