last year his ops was a robust .373

I wonder what the "Random high school player on a decent varsity team" ops would be against MLB pitching

Yeah.... he's MUCH better this year, eh?

[TruffleShuffle]

c'mon fat man, do some damage

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 46-28 when they draw at least 2 walks.... 4-4 when they don't

CUBS have drawn at least 2 BBs in their last 8 games

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Careless]

Eyre snagged a fairly hard foul with his right hand. So that's ok

[Have a seat, Neifi]

I get the feeling the only way we're gonna score tonight is if Cain walks 4 in a row.

[JoshiQ]

Bleh.

[bukie]

Just need to keep being patient. Even without Soriano, Ramirez and Theriot, the gap between lineups is large enough where they should be able to break through at some point.

 

As long as Marquis doesn't blow things up, they are still in good shape.

[17 Seconds]

If Marquis can keep it close I think we win this game. A lot of hard hit balls off Cain and his control still looks poor.

[Careless]

Marquis has pretty good reflexes on defense

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Connor Jackson homers. 7-5 Brewers in the bottom of the 5th.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Marquis with the 6 pitch 4th inning, and suddenly, he's retired 10 in a row !!

 

Go CUBS !!

[Careless]

That girl in the dairy queen commercial has some really scary teeth. Worst I've ever seen on an actor of any age

[Careless]

I hope Fontenot becomes a manager so we get videos of him arguing with umpires. It'll look like a 10 year old arguing with his father.

[bukie]

Ronny's been late a lot on fastballs lately.

[TMan92]

Cedeno to Iowa please.

[17 Seconds]

If we waste a good start from Marquis I'm going to flip out.

[Have a seat, Neifi]

lol Ronny

[Little Slide Rooter]

Tell me this game isnt going to come down to that double steal.

[ChiCubsfan0502]

Cedeno is awful. Whatever trade value he had in April has gone down 10 fold since then.

[TMan92]

What a bad lineup we have out there tonight. Really hard to win without your horses dude.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Tell me this game isnt going to come down to that double steal.

 

CUBS are 12-15 when the opponent steals a base.... 38-17 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Wow, you found the negative split. Wouldn't have guessed it would be steals

[TruffleShuffle]

Cedeno to Iowa please.

 

(a) who's the backup SS?

(a) pretty sure cedeno doesn't have any options and he'd be claimed by another organization.
