CUBS are 20-5 when they hit a sacrifice fly.... 48-41 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

What's their record when they do and don't hit two SF's in the same inning???

 

Why is a flyball to move a runner from 2B to 3B not a sac fly?

I thought it was :oops:

[haubrich91]

Mark Cuban mention. \:D/

Start predicting some offense, eh?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

At this rate, Carpenter is going to throw a complete game.

[haubrich91]

24 pitches through 3 innings. By this rate, he'll have a complete game.

I don't understand the aggressiveness against a pitcher who is 2 starts removed (before tonight) from getting off the DL. IDK who's gameplan this was, but it is stupid. The Cubs need to make Carpenter throw atleast 4 pitches per batter, not 2.

Okay, but I think I'll wait a half inning.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Horrible approach versus Carpenter so far.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 20-5 when they hit a sacrifice fly.... 48-41 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

What's their record when they do and don't hit two SF's in the same inning???

 

Why is a flyball to move a runner from 2B to 3B not a sac fly?

 

It used to be... but they changed that rule a few years back.

[BCVM22]

Terrible lack of patience aside, boy does it look like an absolutely gorgeous night at the ballpark.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ludwick flied out to deep right center field

This offense seems to be much more of a feast or famine type than they were in the first half. Much more reminiscent of 07 than of this season's unbeatables.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Glaus walked

[CubmanPi]

Obviously since the Cubs are leading, they aren't doing enough things wrong. Let's start walking people now.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 26-15 when they allow fewer than 3 walks.... 44-31 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[RedFlash]

I predict Carpenter will throw some pitches the next inning.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Molina singled to right field , Glaus to third
