F!@#!!!!!

[Cubzfan64]

Why is it that only OUR hitters chase that pitch in the dirt?

 

our GM signs free swingers and our minor league coaches don't preach plate discipline

 

Absolutely true - the organizational philosophy is what causes this mess. Having 1 or 2 free swingers on a team is typical, but having a lineup full of them leads to exactly what we've seen all year long - we'll go on hot streaks and win games 10-1 and 13-2, and then turn around and get shut out 3 days in a row.

 

Free swinging breeds inconsistency and the worst thing is that a lineup of free swingers makes it too easy for a good starting pitcher to get our guys out.

[CubsBears29]

You got a pitcher who's struggling with his command on his fastball (& is not chasing his curves), and you give the other team free outs... that is not good.

[TMan92]

To top it all off, Lee's mistake causes Lilly to have even more pitches this inning.

And this doesn't look to change in the next few years either.

[Soul]

[CubsBears29]

Or bail out crappy pitchers by swinging at bad pitches.

Alright, finish him here.

[Post Count Padder]

[Brian]

[chuckywang]

I'm more scared of Mark Reynolds than I am confident in Aramis Ramirez.
