At some point, I hope someone associated with the Cubs realizes Marlon Byrd has no business playing every day. This is his 44th game played at Wrigley Field with 180 plate appearances and he has 2 home runs and 7 rbis while batting 3-4-5-6 most of the time. So he has driven himself in twice and only 5 other guys all year. People might not like the "old school" stats but those are rather telling of how unproductive he has been all year. He is basically another pitcher in the line-up at home this year.

 

.293 .330 .395 .725 at home.

 

I agree he usually shouldn't hit higher than 6, but your overreaction is hysterical. He's not an everyday player because of that line? OK then.

I blame UMFan. Bad things happen when he posts. I get up to go take a dump and the Cubs follow suit. I WON'T LET IT HAPPEN AGAIN.

Damn this season has flown by. I just realized the Cubs have only 2 more homestands left this year.

I agree he usually shouldn't hit higher than 6, but your overreaction is hysterical. He's not an everyday player because of that line? OK then.

Straight out of the figures lie and liars figure handbook. Those numbers mean very little when he doesn't hit with men on base. You have to score runs to win and Byrd rarely helps that happen. How anyone can deny his lack of production is mind numbing and hysterically funny.

 

.204/.255/.306 with runners in scoring position this year. You can have him on your team, I prefer a better player.
