Principled Man Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 It’s not how the Chattanooga Lookouts drew it up, but their 7-5 win over the Rocket City Trash Pandas in Game 1 of their doubleheader Saturday was one of the strangest wins in minor league baseball history. The Lookouts, the Double-A affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds, scored all seven runs and won without a hit. All seven runs scored in the top of the seventh inning - all with two outs - through five walks, four hit batsmen, one fielding error and one wild pitch.

The Analog Cub Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 I expected the Cubs pitching to be more solid and the offense anemic, but it turns out it's the exact opposite. Behind Stroman and Steele, the rotation is abysmal so far. The bats have been hot. Hoerner and Swanson have been lights out. I don't have high expectations for Hendricks when he gets back, either, as much as I love the guy for everything he's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with most of this but Slyly is a decent fourth starter, though nothing more. Taillon should be OK, and Wesenski (sp?) had good stuff though he needs time to harness it to be effective.The offense looks decent so far, and great tonight, but I'm not sure it's sustainable.

Mariners are such a perplexing, sloppy team. They have an awesome team but they need to fire a base coach or something, they have already given up a couple games because of sloppy play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't good, but the defense let him down and the plate umpire was atrocious and cost him a couple of outs. But sending him down would probably be for the best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are pretty neat at determining how much any missed balls/strikes affect the eventual score. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are pretty neat at determining how much any missed balls/strikes affect the eventual score. I've followed them for a while and they tell a pretty consistent story and are really useful. The one thing I'd suggest for improvement is that they look at run expectancy, not win expectancy. In one case the call with the difference was in the bottom of the 8th in a game that was 14-3 for the home team. At that point I almost welcome incorrect strike calls just to get the game over with. Unpopular opinion: CB Bucknor and Laz Diaz are worse than Angel Hernandez (which in no way is a defense of Hernandez, who is horrible.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember that 1-0 loss when Jered Weaver pitched a no hitter? Reds even did that last season. I'm quite relieved that they don't play the Rays until August, though. Damn, they're good! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
