[Schwarber Fan]

Well, it's annoying that a lefty of theirs can hit it that far the other way against a LHP but I guess we should just be happy lake is ok

[Sammy Sofa]

Lake running after that ball looked like Johnny Cage's flailing leg-kick.

Whut.

[Schwarber Fan]

Oh to know what it's like to see your team get clutch 2 out hits...

[coldsteel]

So if baseball games were 4 innings long, the CUBS would be atop the division?

Whut.

 

Who is even the last left handed hitter the Cubs has that could hit lefties? I know Rizzo was pretty good at it earlier in the season but has tapered off, and even when he does get a hit its a little dribbler up the middle.

 

Yet Chavez comes up there and hits one 420 feet the other way. It's just aggravating.

CUBS are 4-37 (.098) when they trail at the end of the 6th inning.... 40-16 (.714) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Chavez sucks against lefties. Him hitting that was like Rizzo getting some hits against lefties; it happens, but how the [expletive] are you going to pretend like Chavez can actually hit LH pitchers on a regular basis?
