Last series before the playoffs. Maddon playing starters tonight, but starting Buchanan.

Maddon needs to play our full starting lineup from here on out. Enough is enough. The guy's have had more than enough rest. With the exception of Zobrist, the whole time is young. Let the young buck's play.

Would like to see 2 cubs reach a seasonal mark these last 3 games..
Bryant needs 1 homer for 40
Russell needs 6 RBI for 100
More importantly for Russell though, be good to see him have a good weekend with bat.. Been struggling lately, need him hitting for playoff

Looking for a fight where there isn't one.
I haven't read a negative word about Zobrist all year.

Then you need to pay attention. There are people here that wanted him benched and replaced by Baez

817 OPS. Contreras .828.
He has done better for sure. My opinion is Contreras' fell when he was devoting to catching. When he was in LF it was nearer to 1.000 as he was focusing more on hitting.

Cog has definitely had a resurgence with the Cubs.

Plenty of reason to want to see a lot of Baez. Hating Zobrist isn't one of them.

Zo has less range. About it. Every thing else he is more of a complete player than Baez.
If Baez picks his walk rate to near 10% then we can look at it again.

10%? He's at 3.4% now so I'd take anything close to 6 if he kept everything the same.

If its 10% then we are looking at a superstar, barring that, I dont think its a stretch for him to get to 6%. I think this off season will be good for him to focus on hitting since he is more comfortable playing different positions. He has a chance at hitting the 3fWAR this weekend which is pretty great considering everything he had to do for this team and not a full timer. That means the Cubs would have 5 IF's with a fWAR over 3. I would think that doesnt happen to often.

Uh, yeah. He was replaced by Baez.......Bryant was replaced by Baez, Russell was replaced by Baez even Rizzo got replaced by Baez. That's kinda what this team does and played a pretty big part on why they are where they are. I didn't see a single post where anyone suggested Zobrist be switched to being the #1 pinch hitter.
