[InconspicuousZ28]

Lame.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Last time the CUBS hit 3 GIDPs in a game.... Fri 19 Aug 2011 (3 GIDP) in a 5-4 win over St. Louis at Wrigley

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Little Slide Rooter]

Cubs sure are good at hitting into double plays,

Go CUBS !!

I have a feeling that's due more to being much better at getting people on base in previous years. Fewer people on base, fewer opportunities to hit into DPs.

[Little Slide Rooter]

136 in '08 huh? Makes sense,as back then we were better at getting guys on base to begin with. Lee probably had about 90 of those.

CUBS trying to make this the 16th time this season that they have drawn zero BBs in a game. (They've drawn 1 BB 27 times).

 

 

Go CUBS !!

 

If the Cubs walked any less, they'd have to change their name to the Chicago Stephen Hawkings.

 

Really?

That's what happens when you clog up the bases, dude.
