Jeimer Candelario has been called up for the second game today. I'm guessing he'll start at 3B.

Until Schwarber learns to hit the other way consistently and lay down a few bunts, he going to always have a low Average..
That shift kills him cause there very little area for him to get a ball to fall in safely..

Hard grounders that normally would be a hit in hole is groundout to short right..

RFer can play deep and catch balls that normally could go over his head and being deep gives him better angles and chance to catch balls to his right and left.

Majority of balls falling in for Schwarber for hits are line drives in gap or down line..

You do realize he goes oppo 29.7% of the time right? He's far from a dead pull hitter. For context, Bryant goes oppo 25.5% and Rizzo goes oppo 22%.

I'm ok with that. They are able to add a 26th guy for the 2nd game and he looks better at 3B than LaStella.

If it were me I would move Bryant to RF until Heyward is back and start Candelario at 3B. He had a .443 OBA in Iowa and that is far from sucking.

29 out of every 100 balls put in play, and I'm sure most are late swing flyballs or his occasional bunt..

His splits are roughly 1/3 in pull center and oppo. Believe his pull rate is like 35%.

That didn't take long...

Arrieta probably wishing he took the Cubs extension offer..

Doesn't look good with Lackey going tonight..

Are these numbers mostly from his start in 2015 when he was hitting good..

What is it for this year , haven't really seen many balls going oppo..
Seems like most his balls in play are hard grounders to right side

This team has issues all around right now. Far from a complete team.
