Cubs blowing opportunities to get some runs..

0 for 7 RISP
6 LOB

Even after 1st inning disaster, they could still win this thing if they can get a big hit or two

Schwarber ...

Final 84 AB in 2015 had 16 hits 28 Ks .190Avg

4 AB in 2016 0 hits 2 Ks

First 85 AB in 2017 has 18 hits 32 Ks .211 Avg

Last 173 Regular season AB 34 hits 62 Ks .196


I guess if Epstein didn't love him so much, he'd be back in Iowa

One thing that would help is getting a legit lead off on the team. That would snap Kyle out of his passive approach. Swear it feels like his ADHD is taking it too far. He needs to get back to what got him up here vs a BB guy.

Baez has more success vs lefties historically. Maybe that is what he needs to bring his game back up. Cut his AB's vs righties.

I agree about the leadoff..
Losing Fowler hurt this lineup, it's a bad lineup...

I think they need to break up Schwarber Bryant and Rizzo..

I would see how Almora and Jay does in lead off spot...

Try this lineup

Jay/Almora
Bryant
Rizzo
Russell
Heyward
Schwarber
Contreras
Pitcher
Zobrist/Baez

Flip Contreras and Schwarber Vs Lefty

Just shake it up a little and see how it goes...

My favorite teams
  1. Chicago Cubs
  1. Chicago Bulls
  1. Chicago Bears
  1. Chicago Blackhawks
Cubs runs scored in 2017 5.14 per game in 2016 4.93 per game

Opponent runs per game in 2017 4.27 per game in 2016 3.42 per game

They score enough runs.....they give up too many. First it was bullpen trouble, now it's the starters.

Inconsistency.....in 162 games, it happens a lot.

Bitching about it will not change it, particularly when there's no one here that can do anything about it.
