CUBS are 23-31 (.426) when the opponent steals a base.... 29-33 (.468) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Schwarber Fan]

This game will probably just be a big compilation of the Cardinals getting all the breaks they didn't get in the last 2 games.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS haven't allowed 3 first inning runs since they allowed the Angels 5 runs............

What did they hit RISP last night, .500?

[Fred Hornkohl]

This game will probably just be a big compilation of the Cardinals getting all the breaks they didn't get in the last 2 games.

What did they hit RISP last night, .500?

 

.400. They were 2 for 5

[Andy]

This game will probably just be a big compilation of the Cardinals getting all the breaks they didn't get in the last 2 games.

What did they hit RISP last night, .500?

Yeah, they've gotten their fair share of breaks this series. Maybe today they'll just get more.

[Fred Hornkohl]

... or maybe Jackson will settle down and we'll get some breaks.

[Andy]

So what are the cards hitting RISP now?

They came in at .334, 43 points ahead of 2nd-place Detroit. For reference, 43 points behind Detroit (.248) would rank a team somewhere between 18th and 20th.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 24-11 (.686) when they steal a base.... 28-53 (.346) when they don't

CUBS are 29-30 (.492) when the opponent commits at least 1 error.... 23-34 (.404) when they don't

[Schwarber Fan]

No way was he out

[Andy]

Pretty easily safe.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Well.... so much for the CUBS getting some breaks.

 

 

[sigh]

[Schwarber Fan]

No way was he out

 

And clearly he wasn't. This is just gonna be one of those games.

[Schwarber Fan]

Hey, a break!

[UMFan83]

Haha Holliday. At least he didn't take it off the nuts this time.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Well.... so much for the CUBS getting some breaks.

 

 

[sigh]

 

.... or maybe..........
