  1. . Just saw the graphic showing three cubs in the top ten of OAA (up the middle guys). Then Boog and JD mention that cubs pitchers don't strike out many and give up homers. That made me wonder if low strikeout rates (more balls in play) leads to the higher OAA for the Cubs. I'm not saying PCA, Nico and Dansby aren't amazing, but I'm just wondering if the low strikeouts gives them a little bump?
  2. This team was constructed for a deep run. With two aces (and approximately 700 other pitchers) on the IL, the calculus has changed. Significant starting rotation additions are necessary for a deep playoff run. It’s not that complicated or worth arguing over. You guys are saying the same thing.
  3. 6 games until the ASB. Then two weeks until the trade deadline. Help is on the way. Keep treading water, pitching staff. Keep being a *checks notes* top 5 offense in all of baseball?!?
  4. Swanson known for using a glove until it falls apart. Its time Dansby.
  5. Just when I start to think great defense is overrated, I am reminded that it is underrated.
  6. Looking at that article, Thornton was one of the ones carried off the field.
  7. The empathy is so strong on this board lately. We are evolving.
  8. Who had David Peterson, Bryce Wilson, Turd Ferguson and Jordan Wicks leading the Cubs to 2 of 3 in Milwaukee on your radar at the beginning of the year?
  9. Regardless of outcome, I'm giddy at the Cubs ability to hang in this series.
  10. Craig wants Dean on second to start the 10th. I still think its weird, but I'm sure that's the play.
  11. this would be a great time for Nico to remember he how he was a stud in April.
  12. I would love to see Woodruff reunited with Counsell this offseason.
  13. There was. These days pitches are clocked out of the hand. 30 years ago, the were clocked approaching the plate. Nolan Ryan threw this hard.
  14. Which is what we’ve been asking for for a month now.
  15. I just spent an hour I don't have looking at prospect ratings/40 man/cubs pitchers at Iowa and Knoxville with sub 6.00 ERAs. There is no intersection of those three lists.
  16. Also,, if I remember correctly, Shota in particular tends to benefit from extra rest.
  17. Yes it hit him, but he moved his hands into the path of ball. Is it okay to move into a pitch now? eta: I'm talking about the Okamoto HBP.
  18. Amazing so over the long haul, is PCA just this streaky, or has he continued to make adjustments that will result in him being a 7+ win player? or both?
