  1. Also,, if I remember correctly, Shota in particular tends to benefit from extra rest.
  2. 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.
  3. 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?
  4. NSBB discovering empathy and perspective. We are maturing.
  5. Looking at boxscores from the boston series, Toronto bullpen is probably cooked. they may have a long man try to go multiple innings this game. Should give the cubs a good chance to add on.
  6. Nico needs some time off. Ramirez and Comforto need ABs. Ok maybe just Ramirez.
  7. My preferred trade candidate? Swanson, Seiya, Maybe a contender would be interested if we ate half the remaining contract. might get something interesting for Busch.
  8. I’m guessing this is using WAR. Others have highlighted better than I am able to the valuation of defense there. So maybe not as impressive as it sounds. Or keep that valuation in mind when you look at pitching. in that case it matters what kind of WAR you’re using. FWAR is fielding independent, bWAR uses runs/9 or something. If that’s bWAR, how bad is this pitching!? I’m guessing it’s fWAR, and the pitching plays better because of defense.
  9. I’m wondering if, hear me out, maybe we should focus on both starting and relief pitching as we look at trades.
  10. Yes. An amazing pitcher who was obviously a head case. Him needing a personal catcher is not justification for catcher ERA in general. The fact that you knew who I meant says something.
  11. Ross is a really bad example for your argument. No matter what the front office said, we all know after the fact that Ross was signed because Sir Yips-a-lot and needed his teddy bear to feel secure and make good pitches.
  12. Could be. Might be that they both have that super-serious, no fun allowed personality and it looks like they’re angry with each other rather than just sharing a vibe.
  13. Watch Happs comment to Bregman just before the strike two call on Seiya. This and other interactions appear as though Happ does not appreciate Bregman’s constant input.
  14. Does it look to anyone else like Bergman and Happ don’t like each other? interaction in the dugout after Happ homer did not seem positive.
  15. This will continue until gam threads say cobs. I know this site is professional and all now, but we have a duty. Fix the gam threads.
  16. I feel like PCA could benefit from some eye black. The glare off his cheeks has to be blinding.
  17. Just checking in to see if anyone has made the 3 losses, poised for another 10 game win streak joke yet.
  18. Ferguson and Peralta have been added recently. Not that Peralta. Cubs picked up Luis Peralta off waivers from the Cards.
  19. Go ahead and get Peralta, but there's no need for a second starter. Add Peralta and you are right back to where you were before Horton went down. Brown, Assad and Wicks have earned the right to prove themselves as long relievers, at least. I think it's very possible Brown surprises you and develops into a playoff starter over the course of the year. Peralta, Boyd, Imanaga, Cabrera, and hopefully Steele or Brown shows enough to push one of them out of a spot.
  20. I'm beginning to wonder if Nico and Busch are the same person, like Clark Kent and Superman. They never show up at the same time.
