Davis this year: 4.41/4.34/4.35 ERA/FIP/xFIP, 5 BB/9, 4 blown saves, decreasing velocity across the board Morrow this year: 1.46/2.83/3.29 ERA/FIP/xFIP, 3 BB/9, 1 blown save, increasing velocity across the board You don't miss Wade Davis.

Yea, I was going to ask why. Davis is in Colorado, so some of his stats are probably skewed, but I think Morrow is doing better than Davis was doing last year.

Poque posted:There's a bit of babip happening (.249 vs a career of .284) which can probably be attributed to how much he is shifted. Weirdly, his softly-hit ball% is down this season and he's hitting more line drives and fewer ground balls. His HR/FB is below career averages too despite the ball being juiced. He'll probably regress a bit positively. I always like to see HR/FB ratio out of whack when a player isn't doing well, so that makes me feel better. I noticed a while back that Arietta and Darvish were both way out of line with their career HR/FB ratios. Arietta is already regressing (his rate was practically nothing earlier in the year) and I hope the same happens with Darvish.

We are 23-21 on the road with a +61 run differential. Funny how being 1-9 in one-run games on the road can just kill you.

I didn’t realize how much Davis regressed since going to Colorado. I just remembered how good he was last year with like 30 odd saves in a row. What is it with players slumping almost right after leaving the Cubs? (Fowler, Davis, Arrietta to name off the top of my head)

What is it with players slumping almost right after leaving the Cubs? (Fowler, Davis, Arrietta to name off the top of my head) Jake is more or less the exact same guy he was last year except he's traded some strikeouts for ground balls: 2017 with the Cubs: 3.53/4.16/4.11, 8 K/9, 3 BB/9, 45% GB rate 2018 with the Phils: 3.54/4.13/4.18, 6 K/9, 3 BB/9, 56% GB rate The ERA/FIP/xFIP lines are almost eerily identical. If anything he's actually improved a bit with the Phils as his velo climbed up a bit and he's somewhat regained a feel for his slider after completely losing it in 2017. I'd definitely take him over Yu right now.  Poque posted:I'm glad Rondon has been successful in Houston so far. I'm annoyed we let him walk to penny pinch. He was sidelined by injury a lot in 2016/17 but when he was healthy he was always elite. Imagine how good the bullpen would be with Morrow, Edwards, Strop, Cishek, Rondon.

I’d for sure take a slightly broken Rondon over Justin loving Wilson.

Yea, but that means you're also taking chances on a pitcher with known injury issues, and had struggled for two years in a row. At the time of the signing, I thought they made the right move going with Darvish over Arrieta. Now I just hope for Darvish to pitch again before the end of August.

It feels like the monkey’s paw got us when the Cubs got Darvish. “Oh, you want a decent starter? *curls* Well he’s gonna be on the DL for half the season.”

If Darvish comes back after the ASB and pitches like he did in the late half of 2017 for the Dodgers (not counting the post sesaon  ) I'd be absolutely thrilled. I'm still worried that he's going to pitch like he did at the start of the season. I'll take injured a lot but really good when not over, say, Chatwood.

Baez should be winning the All Star vote. He's already at 3.0 WAR on the season.

All of the dumb promo stuff would be fine if you didn't have to go around wearing NBC sports logos all over it. Also, that is a weird promo since I don't think the Cubs are ever on NBC in any format.

In other news Darvish has been pushed back to "late July", which probably means he has to start his rehab from scratch.  https://twitter.com/670TheScore/status/1014863505252651009
