Cubs Reportedly Checked in on Rafael Devers, Which Might Tell Us Something Important - Bleacher Nation
The Cubs reportedly checked in on Rafael Devers before he was traded to the Giants. What does that mean for Matt Shaw?

Matt Shaw Part II has been a lot better than the original ....

...but when it comes to projecting him going forward, the underlying data reveals that there’s still a lot of work to be done.

Matt Shaw Has Gotten Some Nice Results, But Most of The Underlying Data Isn't Very Convincing - Bleacher Nation
Matt Shaw has certainly looked better after being re-promoted to the big leagues, but there's still work to be done.

Matt Shaw has had a crazy hot stretch of games, but I'm still not seeing the underlying data I want to see.

Still work to be done!

Shota Imanaga threw 9 sweepers against the Dodgers today (13% of his total pitches).

Last season, he was around 7.5%, so a little more than usual.

Curious if that was a matchup thing, or something we'll see more often this year.

The only people watching baseball at six in the morning are big baseball fans. We don't need three interviews in 6 innings. Just baseball, please.

I'll always admire how vocal Seiya Suzuki is (to his teammates on base) about where the ball is when it goes in the dirt.

It screams "this was drilled into him by some coach early on in his career"

Cubs get a two-out knock with a runner in scoring position and the early lead!

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was asking for the moon and then some in an extension with Toronto. But they weren't able to get it done, and that will matter to the Cubs.
