I think rizzo is spiting the cubs for deciding to sell. He's been fucking brutal

Anthony Rizzo is the worst baserunner in the history of baseball. And it ain't close.

yeah, no. You’re being hyperbolic times 10

Rizzo use to be a good base runner, but over the last 2 to 3 years it has been unbelievable how many blunders he makes. I've truly never seen anyone make as many mistakes on the basepaths as him. Yeah there have been worse mistakes, but idk that anybody makes the sheer amount of mistakes he does

oh I agree he certainly does. But for someone to claim that rizzo is the worst base runner in the entire history of baseball is laughable

For the record, they do have stats that track base running. Here’s a list of the 30 worst individual seasons of base running up to 2019. No rizzo to be seen on it

victor martinez is tied for the worst season ever and that makes sense…he was horrendous on the bases
When I read the post about Rizzo being the worst, I instantly started thinking who was the worst baserunners I can recall......it's funny....the only one on that list I came up with was Reitz and as bad as he was I didn't he was the worst. I came up with two others not on that list......Steve Ontiveros and the slowest human being I ever saw, Ed Hermann. I would have bet the bank they were worse than Reitz.

Anyway, thanks for that info.

It's nice to see these teams are so equally matched when the cards were going all in for win now mode and the cubs were lining up for selling off before the season

Wow. Alzolay is actually holding it together. Carlson has his number, but he has been solid.
