Chicago Cubs 2026

[Gary J]

Max velocity and max torque on breaking pitches doesn’t help.

Exactly. Nobody’s throwing 89-90 like Greg Maddox and Tom Glavine anymore.

yup
everyone trying to throw 103 mph fastballs for 3 innings & curveballs that break like a rainbow

Bregman has the power of a 1970s middle infielder. Maybe the same power as Glenn Beckert.

Very frustrating watching his at bats.

I wonder if he has some injury that limits his power.

I can’t Stan watch his flyouts. He doesn’t even have warning track power. Ugh

Bregman turnaround starts in the 7th inning tonight (sent after the HR; I won't pretend to be clairvoyant).

I guess I’ll eat my words. But only if the Cubs win!

He’s had a ton of weak contact this year, but is showing some signs recently of maybe breaking out of it.

Really breaking out. Are we going to see a different Bregman in the second half?

Think the Cubs brass has figured out that pitchers get hurt and the farm system is way too light with pitching?
