Ai needs to stick with Google searches of stuff that no one else gives a rats ass to bother compiling info on

Obligatory Moises Ballesteros Approval and Absurdity Post - Bleacher Nation

What Moises Ballesteros is doing at Triple-A right now is ridiculous.

Getting stupid.

 

[CSF77]

Getting to the last series.

Rea deserves to be in the rotation. I was not a believer at all. He really took his game up a notch.

Brown should be in the pen. Nasty strike out stuff but a 2 pitch pitcher. It should be Horton time.

SS and 3B have been a eye sore.

Ballestros would be up if he was a 3B. Dude is killing Iowa with power and contact hitter SO and BB rates. Regression would put him at solid ground still

That said the team is over achieving. There is areas that can be improved on.

PCA has a large hole in his game right now. His walk rate sucks. And pitchers can exploit it knowing that he will be aggressive.

This game is all about players adjusting. Right now PCA made a adjustment. Pitching will yet again find a exploit and attack it. Then PCA will have to counter.

I'm kinda looking at Rea as a example. He lowered his arm slot this year and it allows his 4 seem to stay above the normal swing paths which is causing more swing and miss rates.

The game is compiled of this. Players making adjustments. All data is it taking that info. Trying to predict future success off of that data is faulty. Because players are always adapting.

He's 23 in his first full year. He had <400 ABs in 2024. Maybe you should give him time. Nobody said he's in the HOF.

Look all I said is he has a small sample size. I don't like projecting future success off of a small sample

He has made progress. That is all it should be. I don't want to put high expectations on a kid. I will appreciate when he does well and expect growing pains.

I expect more out of established vets. Tucker has been exceptional. Swanson has been a underperforming over paid glove.

Happ is another that you can put higher expectations as he has years of experience to get a mean expectation.

Matt Shaw, 3B, Iowa (CHC No. 1/MLB No. 18)
The Cubs' top prospect socked his first home run back at Triple-A, lining a laser beam of a solo shot down the left-field line in Iowa's win. It's been a tough start to the season for Shaw, who struggled upon earning an Opening Day roster spot with the Cubs. But maybe he's beginning to find his stroke. Shaw also scored twice and has had multihit games in two straight contests. Gameday


Horton pitches on Tuesday.

Their line up has been Shaw, Caissie, Ballestros, Long and Alcantara.

Interesting idea brought up by a fan on set up man.

Have Brown pitch 3 innings and Horton come in and cover the next 3 in a piggy back.

What they were talking about about was Horton is asking a lot to just start. And Flexen at the end of the day is Flexen.

Brown's issue is he lacks command of his knuckle curve where he can not sit on the corners. So Phi went through the line up 1 time. Then they spat on his knuckle in the dirt leaving a fast ball missing a tick and a knuckle up in the zone to hammer. That is why Brown imploded

Craig pretty much said that you can not magically produce a 3rd pitch. So Brown is limited and when he has command that is when he can toss a gem. Normally he is a #5 starter if that.

I am good if Brown/Horton happens. It will keep both limited which is a good thing right now.

 

[CSF77]

I really think that Brown should tunnel his normal knickle and his 4 seem in the upper zone and his spike knuckle and a change up lower zone. Keep the hitters from spitting on pitches. The change could be meh then. Just stay down in the zone where a spit becomes a called strike

Shaw 4 for 5.

It might be time.

What about small sample sizes???

 

[CSF77]

What about small sample sizes???

Horton has 0 sample. So 0 expectations.

Shaw has poor sample size but 3B can not get worse. You just want him hitting.




Sample size = expectations. IE low or high.

Not keep in Iowa indefinitely because reasons

PCA is the measurement to base Shaw off of. Over matched go to Iowa to adjust then bring him up to adjust some more. If he tanks then send him down to get going again.

Eventually he will succeed or Jed addresses it with a trade and sells him off for another team to deal with


Jed did this with Rizzo, Baez, Happ and Schwarber. Bryant and Nico pretty much made it look easy

Cubs To Select Chris Flexen

The Cubs are calling veteran right-hander Chris Flexen up from AAA. He'll need to be added to the 40-man roster. Read more at MLB Trade Rumors.

www.mlbtraderumors.com

So Flexen had a upwards movement clause. No counter moves but Assad did come down with a grade 2 strain to the same oblique ..60 day incoming. 26 man no word yet.

Brown sent down or not. Hard to tell at this point

 

[CSF77]

Numbers wise Horton has been better over all. But that is pointing towards how good Horton has been.

Flexen has earned a opertunity. 1.16 ERA 1.16 WHIP. .224 BAA.

Horton 1.17, .96, .135 which is pure dominance of a league

I get it if they are just delaying to be able to have more innings available on Cade's arm come October and keeping him on 1 per week.

I am fine if this is the plan. They are playing great and are getting past the toughest part of the schedule.

I am concerned with NYM. They are looking legit and I want my best up against them

 

[CSF77]

Another interesting part to this.

Both Flexen and Rea had their arm slots lowered by the Cubs this year and both are over performing.

I also was looking at some videos on this topic. Seems that pitchers are lowering their arm slots due to less torque on their arms. So teams are trying to prevent UCL.

 

[CSF77]

This is the guy that the Cubs hired this year from Tread. Video was from 3 years ago but we are already seeing results from his influence.
