Go CUBS !!!

[Schwarber Fan]

RUNNING THERE - WOW

 

unreal

[Schwarber Fan]

BJAXX!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 32-23 (.582) when they score first in the game.... 16-53 (.232) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[haubrich91]

Jackson loves Wrigley!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 32-33 (.492) when they hit at least 1 HR.... 16-43 (.271) when they don't

 

Go CUBS !!

Brett Jackson, everybody.

[sneakypower]

he's so good, when he's not striking out

[Gilby]

RUNNING THERE - WOW

 

unreal

 

:lol:

 

1st and 3rd with 0 outs. If he gets caught, the run at 3rd can still score without a hit. If the catcher makes an error on the throw, it's an easy run. That's like the ideal time to run. It's not stupid because it didn't work.

Count was 2-0 to Castillo, pitcher on the ropes... don't give him any help getting outs. Running was stupid there.

Is it too much to ask of him to get his K% down to about 25%, come on Brett. That's all we want.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 4-2 (.667) when the opposing starter pitches 4 innings or less.... 44-74 (.373) when he doesn't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Epsteenie]

Through 50 at-bats Vitters is hitting .104/.120/.208. His BABIP is .125. Walk rate of 2%, K rate of 32%.

Not sure if you're watching the game but he should be 3-3 today really.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 46-58 (.442) when their starter pitches 5 innings or more.... 2-18 (.100) when he doesn't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Schwarber Fan]

well, that's a stupid way to lose. Hopefully they can rally

[Schwarber Fan]

Being more aggressive on the bases has definitely hurt more than helped this season.

[UMFan83]

Vitters should go back down to Iowa and finish their season there before coming back up. He's obviously not major league ready yet and this is killing the the really positive momentum he had this season.
