I'm amazed a ballplayer that dumb can call a ballgame behind the plate.

I'm amazed a ballplayer that dumb can call a ballgame behind the plate.
Most of our players are hitting like pitchers. It takes talent to hit .136, especially against the Pirates and Brewers.
Maybe they should take a cue from the Pirates and learn to cut down on the...
Probably because teams like the Cubs go for pitchers with high K/9 and velocity and spin rate and then pray they find a release point.
Pirates have Davies' number. They knocked him around a bit last time too. They're being very patient and going the other way on him, so that change-up ain't doing much. Credit where credit is due.
Gerrit Cole's K/9 rate jumped by literally 4-5 K's per 9IP when he got to Houston in 2018 LOL. The Astros are the worst.
I still think the sign-stealing revelations could have had something to do...
So Bauer went from crappy pitcher to total boss by using pine tar. And now they may take that away from him. LOL Dodgers! MLB players are addicted to cheating. Why do people still watch these...
I'd think MLB would so anything like this to reduce pitcher spin rate and all the K's that are making MLB a boring turd product.
In their defense, 2 really nasty starters on the Brewers.
They can't hit velocity. They need it on a tee. Brett Anderson was throwing BP and they tee'd off.
His numbers last year he pulled more balls and hit less to CF and RF than he usually he does. He's definitely pulling off the ball. In 2018-2019 when he was hitting really good he had a ton of...
I think it's very possible the Cubs go dirt cheap this offseason as they rebuild, possibly to the point of tanking. They traded Darvish for Davies who is an FA this winter. That says a lot about...
Peralta making Cubs hitters look like fools. Their big swings won't work on this guy.
Guess catchers are used to getting hit in the face lol.
Interesting we took Williams having seen him a lot as a Pirate. I agree Cubs probably saw something there.
I think Arrieta, Williams, and Alzolay are all big wildcards who could all potentially...
Word.
Suspended for flexing after being beaned is really dumb.
Bote bobble cost 3 runs.
Ricketts is a greedy ****** who acts like a pimp and the Cubs are his prostitute. We're the Johns.
Supply and demand. Less seats available. But ya that sucks, that's a lot.
Cubs take 2 of 3 from crappy pirates, made that game closer than it should have been. Moran put on opposite field hitting clinic.
Bryant looked good, Happ is a beast. Davies pulled a bit late by...
Agree. His fastballs were in the low 90's too. He looks like a BORP like Jake of the last 2 seasons.
I find it disturbing that the entire brick backstop is plastered in ads. The brick backstop is iconic, you need to at least see some of it. I don't mind ads in the stadium (they used to banned) and...
Last year we were 29th out of 30 teams in z-swing%. You could see Javy seemed to change his approach last year too, taking more strikes. Team not swinging at literally half the strikes yesterday is...
What's weird is I rarely watch other players anymore because pre-MLB.TV internet highlights I had to sit and watch all team highlights on ESPN on TV until the Cubs highlights came on, but now I can...
Well we'll see. I mean even Hendricks was off. When your hands are frozen those aren't normal conditions. It was a pathetic performance though against a crappy team. Trust me i'm ready to crap on...
Weather going to really warm up by Sat. Let's not start worrying yet.
But even Marquee had a terrible game, the strikezone marker was all screwed up and even the 7th inning stretch was a disaster...
If it's broke, don't fix it!
That was such a horribly played ballgame in every facet of the game. Looked like the 1st game of Spring Training out there. Let's hope it's the weather. Hard to go...
