Other MLB teams call up their top prospects and immediately start them. Cubs call up Pedro Ramirez and Kevin Alcantara to sit them on the bench. What was the point of bringing them up? They could’ve watched the game from Iowa and continued to get regular ABs

@Sox_Savant it’s allowing him to be more confident which lets him get to his a swing more

@natebbstats He played at Yankee Stadium last year too and also these are underlying metrics that wouldn’t really be affected by the park you’re playing at

Being a ben brown truther is so insane i remember everyone wanted him out of the organization last year

Payton Tolle is elite

@OPS_BASEBALL i remember when him and his brother had so much hype

Victor Mesa Jr., entering today's game, was posting 162 wRC+ over his 88 PA with a .342/.432/.579 slashline and a 1.011 OPS.

Sources: Cuban OF Victor Mesa Jr. was removed from Friday’s Triple-A game and called up to MLB by the Tampa Bay Rays. He’s expected to be activated tomorrow in New York for an injured Rays player.

@natebbstats @ChicagoSufferer I agree, but firing the hitting coach is just window dressing.
English

@natebbstats @ChicagoSufferer Not the hitting coach fault. Cubs have been down thaf road so many times before.

@bazzana_muse @dylancrewscigar @MLBPipeline @MLBDraft @JonathanMayo you don’t draft for position lmao
English

@natebbstats @dylancrewscigar @MLBPipeline @MLBDraft @JonathanMayo Idk but we needed an outfielder at the time

@Redmatters3 @jaketheyoshifan who was a bust that the cubs kept
English

@jaketheyoshifan Please don’t give the Cubs any prospects. They don’t know what to do with them.
English

@jaketheyoshifan i don’t mind trading but don’t get a ball pitchers

@bazzana_muse @dylancrewscigar @MLBPipeline @MLBDraft @JonathanMayo so bodine,aloy ,kilby aren’t good ?
English

@bazzana_muse @dylancrewscigar @MLBPipeline @MLBDraft @JonathanMayo so you’re saying there’s only 27 good players in a draft ?
English

@natebbstats @dylancrewscigar @MLBPipeline @MLBDraft @JonathanMayo There was nobody else good still on the board left
English

@bazzana_muse @dylancrewscigar @MLBPipeline @MLBDraft @JonathanMayo only 786 ops this month and why would you draft someone with hand issues
English

@natebbstats @dylancrewscigar @MLBPipeline @MLBDraft @JonathanMayo I mean now he’s smashing plus he had to get 2 hand surgeries back in college days
English

@ChicagoSufferer lineup doesn’t change anything unless you have a lineup full of busch
English

Get yourself a $8 million manager that doesn’t change anything during a 2-9 stretch

Friday afternoon at @ofcwrigleyfield.

With each outing, I’m more and more encouraged by this version of Ben Brown.
Anchored by an *elite* curveball, a new sinker, and a occasional changeup, he is one of 28 pitchers with at least 4 pitches 80th percentile or better in Effective Velo, and it’s an unreal list. #Cubs


English

@Polar_Bear_Ball do you think he’ll be a backend starter or can he get more to a mid tier type of starter
English

@natebbstats I'd say interesting more than anything right now. Legit enough to be a notable pitcher for a down day at Single-A, but not legit enough to crack top 400 lists just yet.
