Did Holliday only get something like 34 ABs? I feel like you should give him a longer look than that if you're winning games and his defense is plus stuff.

Also, Trout didn't make it on his first trip up. I bet Holliday will be back before we know it.

18 strikeouts in 36 plate appearances is the kind of thing that gets you sent down, even if it's just for a couple of weeks to get the groove going again

I mean, Holliday only had something like 120 ABs in AAA, and he's only 20. It's okay to be patient and let him get his sea legs at Norfolk.

From the MLB article:


Of Miley’s 11 stints on the injured list in the past nine seasons, only two have been for the elbow: His current one, and a month-long stretch at this time last year. But he said he’s dealt with discomfort in that elbow since at least 2018, when he first pitched for the Brewers.

Alright, I think I've seen enough. Laureano's got an option, send him down to to AAA to figure his poo poo out.

0 for 4 with 3 strikeouts tonight, combined with his past 5 games he's 18 ABs, 2 Hs, 1 BB, 8 SO.

Time to see if Johnathan Rodriguez has some major league chops.

proposal to stop elbows exploding - a pitch clock but it's 20 seconds before a pitcher can even toe the rubber. then there's no clock. also unlimited pick offs again.

That game was like the exact opposite of how you want to play against the A’s. Didn’t capitalize against their starter, Kimbrel completely bailed out their weak offense by having no control, then got themselves stuck in a bullpen battle against Miller in extras. Not recommended.

I like the Cubs, but I cannot claim to be a hardcore fan. I adore Shota Imanaga so far, as any Very Nice Man who is also a weird pitcher ranks highly in my book.

That said, I keep hearing people saying he is going to start giving up tanks Any Day Now!!! Yes, I know that was his achilles in Japan and his Hard Hit profile is pretty high. I also know pitchers with an odd delivery can take a while for batters to figure out. But if he was going to start giving up home runs, wouldn't it be happening by now?

Dude is off to one hell of a start, I'll give him that much.

Wrigley is much more forgiving to pitchers this early in the year. There's not a huge difference between "a high fly ball to deep left, Happ has room and makes the catch just in front of the warning track" and "a high fly ball to left, Happ will watch it go" and 30 degrees of temperature can absolutely make that difference.

The Toronto Blue Jays are poop from a butt. And that butt stinks. Like poop.

The starting pitching has been mostly fine, the bullpen is shallow but passable maybe(?), but man the batting is just dreadful. I dont know enough about baseball to know if its a head/batting coaching thing or if its something else. But its not even fun to watch.
