Cubs will score 10+ with that lineup. :lol:

[haubrich91]

Good God, this has to be the ugliest line-up we'll see all year (from the Cubs side of things).

[Outshined_One]

I see the Cubs are back to get away day forfeit lineups.

[Keener98]

Brings back memories of Dusty eh? That lineup still looks better than the Perez/Macias 1-2 punch we seen with Dusty

[Ballgame64]

Has there ever been a team that gets less out of bases loaded and no outs than the Cubs?

[JonJayCutler]

No excuse for this type of lineup when trying to win a series. LOL at 5-8...Nady, Fukudome, Baker, Hill.

 

Go away Lou.

I wish I could find stats on this, because I swear the Cubs are epicly (epically?) awful.

The Cubs have the 10th most AB with the bases loaded. They have the 7th highest OPS with the bases loaded and the 7th most runs scored with the bases loaded. Not sure specifically about no out situations.

[SouthSideRyan]

I'm more happy to see walks from Colvin than extra base hits at this point in the season.

[JonJayCutler]

So glad Nady is playing instead of Byrd or Soriano.

[Keener98]

Its called an off day, and does it really matter? The season is over anyway

I don't stop rooting for my team just because their playoff chances are slim to none. And I'm all for off days for players, just not everyone at once while trying to win a series.

Kind of agree.

 

Koyie Hill has a 056 OPS in July. Can he get sub 400 for the year?

I would have never guessed they have been that good. Then again, D Lee with the bases loaded this year has been tremendous even though it seems like he sucks with runners in scoring position.

 

I can think back to Cincinnati for Leake's major league debut and today where they have had bases loaded and no outs in the top of the first. At least today they got one run. When the team is bad, it seems like they have never done anything right.

[SouthSideRyan]

It never sticks with you when the team does as expected. It's the out of the ordinary that you remember.

[SouthSideRyan]

How shitty does Mike Fontenot feel that he can't even play on forfeit day.

[illiniguy]

How [expletive] does Mike Fontenot feel that he can't even play on forfeit day.

Ryan Theriot has grit Ryan. GRIT!

It's a crappy lineup for sure, but I can recall a few times in the past where we've scored a bunch of runs with the "forfeit lineup".

[lumafia]

No pressure Randy, but if you give up 2 runs you will lose.

[jersey cubs fan]

How do you let a guy score from 1st standing up on a double down Houston's LF line? The ball has nowhere to go and is like 17 feet from 3B.

 

 

Oh, and Wells' day goes from wildly effective to pretty crappy in a hurry.
