That's a beating.

IMU and the rest of you Saber Dopes....it takes until the Series to find they can't hit a curve

I bet they hit that curve tonight, his stuff ain't good.

If I'm the Indians, my pitching lineup is:

Tomlin: Once through the lineup
Shaw: Ditto
Miller: Ditto
Allen: Ditto

I'd give Miller a little more leeway, but if Francona had done this yesterday, the Cubs may have been finished. He should have felt fortunate to go once through with Bauer.

Reminds me of CoF saying Shaq wouldn't have been great if he was 6'8". Well, he wasn't. End of argument.

Tip of the cap to Wayne Messmer. He can still belt it out. As much as I like Jim Cornelison, Wayne is my sentimental favorite for the anthem.

Not like these guys ...look at exit velocity on the "Charlie"

Walt hitting sabre guys with a stat they now routinely rub one out to.

Maybe it's just me, but when his wife started attention whoring and joining him to sing, it just became...terrible. I mean, when I actually go to a Wolves game, and I hear "Wayne and Kathleen Messmer" at anthem time, that's usually my signal for a piss break.

West and the Contreras visits will be interesting

Joe probably tosses someone at some point. He's so far into the dontgiveafuck part of his career at this point

Lowest team exit velocity against curveballs, 2016
84.3 mph — Cubs
84.5 mph — Reds
85.1 mph — Yankees
86.2 mph — Giants / Phillies
The Cubs have just a .201 average (the eighth lowest) on curves, and if you’re now rightfully thinking that you only worry about exit velocity and average when contact is made, well, Chicago had a 32.1 percent contact rate when swinging at curves — which is the lowest in the Majors.

Keep it up Walt and you can kiss that Weber's Bakery pastry goodbye.

He has a radio show Sunday nights on 90.9. It's not bad. Mostly just plays standards.

_________________

And yet the Cubs were only just slightly below average when it came to wCB/C. Additionally, the Cubs saw the fourth least amount of curveballs out of all 30 MLB teams over the course of the season. And when you break it down by individual players...out of players that got regular at-bats throughout the season, only Baez and Russell can be identified as truly susceptible to curveballs.

Is Walt turning into the guy from "Flowers for Algernon"?

Not Jeyward????? He can't hit if you under handed it to him.....yet the stupid shit Goff said he hit the ball hard a couple of times over the weekend

Heyward actually isn't terrible vs. the curveball. Still below average this year...but he was below average on everything.

High fastballs are his kryptonite. Even right down the middle fastballs. Anything over 92, honestly.
