The 7th round pick for the #Cubs, Cole Tryba, was one of the most interesting arms in the draft. Nasty lefty sinker (9/-17 at 91, highest sinker whiff% in 2025) and throws a 116 stuff+ 4-Seam (-3.98 t3 VAA). But, he comes with a caveat that makes him so unique: He is basically two different pitchers! His avg arm angle on fastballs is ~35 degrees. On offspeed/breaking, it is ~2 degrees. His release heights range from 4.2 feet to 5.0. I am very intrigued to see what the Cubs pitching dept. does about this insane release difference. Do they leave it as is and wait and see if professional hitters pick up on it? Do they choose the low slot and favor funk and breaking ball/offspeed stuff, or stick with the mid slot with exceptional fastball angles+results, while possibly hurting break/offspeed feel? The feel for spin really isn’t great, but just watching him move down the mound, you can tell the kid is an athlete. I’m going to be breaking down his full arsenal and range of outcomes in the Cubs #MLBDraft video that I will be publishing in the next few days. I will be posting the link on here when it’s up; stay tuned!

Ken Rosenthal looks like a 12 year old standing next to the Miz

“Trevor Megill, once a starter for the Mets” John Smoltz is the worst broadcaster in professional sports. I’m sorry but everything that comes out his mouth is either objectively wrong or just hating on modern baseball.

I mean they didn’t have many options, but for the Guards to have Gavin Williams throw ~30 high intent pitches could bite them on Saturday.

Projected top two round pick Tague Davis with a 111 MPH single in his second AB of the University of Louisville vs. Purdue fall game. This swing immediately followed a 102 MPH foul home run. He set the Louisville single-season home run record last year, with 34. #L1C4

What a miserable end to a pathetic season. Pete Crow-Armstrong and Alex Bregman combine to go 0/15 with 8 strikeouts. Just absolutely sickening. Can’t even be mad at the pitching staff after tonight. Even the home run was on a great pitch. Just another day of #Cubs baseball.

Daniel Palencia against left handed-hitters: .340/.441/.640 w/ a .456 wOBA and 7.6 FIP. Absolutely brilliant to bring him in against a pocket of left-handed hitters! The Gavin Sheets home runs was a forgone conclusion.

Everytime the camera pans to Craig Counsell he looks like he’s having war flashbacks. I wish it did, but it’ll never work out with this guy. It’s time to move on after this season.

Is the audio for the Cubs vs Padres game messed up for anyone else? Hearing the pop of the glove before the ball is even halfway to the plate

This Red Sox vs. Yankees pitching matchup is such pure baseball. Two arms with the deepest arsenals in the sport who just pitch. They combine for 13 different pitch types, and an almost 90% ground-ball rate.

It’s really heartbreaking knowing this is how the season ends for the #Cubs. Historic offense, historic defense, and the NL MVP. All comes crashing down because of the worst pitching staff in playoff history.
