MLB: Cincinnati Reds at Chicago Cubs

Lester Regression I’m Pulling Your Strings

by Sam Fels July 13, 2018

It’s at the mountaintop that you have to prepare for the biggest fall, right? Something like that. So being named to the All-Star game seems an excellent time to address all of our Jon Lester fears. Or maybe there’s just another reason I was voted in high school “Most Likely To Take Lemons And Make […]

Kris Bryant: A Brief Counterpoint

by Zack Moser July 9, 2017

On Friday, Kris Bryant tallied his tenth multi-homer game as a major leaguer, and his third this season. He reached ten in only 386 career games; for perspective, Anthony Rizzo has 14 in 836, meaning Bryant has outstripped Rizzo’s career rate of multi-homer games by about 60 percent. That’s just one indicator of Bryant’s impressive […]

Is Kris Bryant Doomed for Regression?

by Ryan Schultz March 1, 2017

Kris Bryant’s continued progression over the last three seasons has been nothing short of incredible. He’s got the hardware to prove it with Minor League Player of the Year, Rookie of the Year, and MVP awards all being added to his shelf in each of the past three years.

Kyle Hendricks Doesn’t Have to Regress

by Kenny Kelly January 31, 2017

Mike Petriello even included him on his Top 10 starting pitchers for 2017—omitting Jon Lester and Jake Arrieta. In some […]

What Has to Happen for the Cubs to Be Bad? Will It?

by Henry Druschel May 12, 2016

It’s a good time to be a Cubs fan. It’s a good time to be a baseball fan of any sort, for that matter. It’s fun to live in a world where this is possible, “this” of course being the Cubs’s insane, nearly unprecedented, 25-8 start, which they’ve accomplished via a terrifying offense, outstanding starting […]

Kyle Schwarber, Catcher

by Henry Druschel February 5, 2016

There’s a certain joy in baseball players that make the game look easy, but for me, nothing tops a player who is obviously putting all of their available effort into performing at their highest possible level on the field. Kyle Schwarber is the archetypal example of that type, and like many of those players, he […]
