barney hitting .162 since the ASB.

 

but what should he be hitting? like from an existential perspective.

 

You have to take global warming into effect. Also adjust for the discovery of the Higgs boson

Once you take into effect string theory, you realize Barney's quantum batting average is league average

Junior Lake's K rate is back up to 25%, which is disappointing.

If he's seeing more pitches it might be a short term peak before a downward trend.

The homegrown only teams, which obviously winds up being a really awful cubs team.

 

Yeah I was just going to post that. Didn't look at all of them in too much detail, but the Cubs team was by far the worst I saw on there. Here's your starters:

 

Catcher: Soto

1B: Vitters

2B: Barney

SS: Castro

3B: Donaldson

OF: Lake, Colvin, Fuld

 

Jesus Christ.

The rotation there is solid and the pen probably wouldn't be any worse than it's been this year. Why don't they get credit for Wellington? He's been way better than Soto this year.

#Cubs batters second in the NL and fourth in MLB with 84 walks since all-star break. Avg. 3.5 BB per game since break; 2.6 before break.

Although the offense has not scored that many runs during the same period because of a decline in the team's slugging percentage the overall trend of a more patient offense is one I like a lot. With the emphasis that the front office has put on patience I am also hopeful that this trend will become a long term trait of the offense.

Welington Castillo in July: .288/.403/.423

 

Welington Castillo in August: .320/.514/.480

It would definitely be a boon to the Cubs' fortunes if he could hover near an .800 OPS from the catcher position going forward. It's been fun to watch him get better at the plate.

His progress behind the plate shouldn't be ignored, either. He's been our best all-around position player for a couple months now.

That explains why that one little leaguer inexplicably had him as his favorite player while everyone else was all like Trout, Trout, Trout, Cano, Harper, Trout

Just had ESPN on the other day and some kid listed Welington Castillo as his favorite player, which I found kind of funny. Not much to it.
