Olt's hilarious stats over the last week:

 

.357 .500 1.000

Night games on Saturday are a blight on the [expletive] universe.

stupid getting my olt hopes back up

[Guest]

Olt is tied with Evan Longoria in wOBA.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

-Junior Lake's contact % is 57.

-The only pitcher on the staff with at least 10 innings with an xFIP above 4 is Villanueva at 4.16.

I had to google who our hitting coach was. Is that bad?

 

29th in extra base hits at 82. 4th in strike outs at 315!

yes it's bad

 

it's [expletive] bill mueller and that's awesome

 

those numbers suck because we have a lot of shitty players

[DiamondMind]

I thought it was mueller, I havent really been paying attention to anything until opening day, I didnt have the willpower

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

don't we have dual hitting coaches?

[DiamondMind]

don't we have dual hitting coaches?

 

thats what I thought

 

we do: mike brumley

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Mike Brumley's ML career: 206/261/272

 

Usually a lot of hitting coaches sucked, that's why Bill Mueller being a hitting coach is weird.

[WrigleyField 22]

So what's the deal with the dual thing again? Ones more approach based while the other is more mechanics?

No idea, thats why I googled it, I thought it was Mueller but I read some article talking about Brumley working with Olt, and it confused the hell out of me.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

i thought the first team that did it was one coach for righties and the other for lefties.

[DiamondMind]

I have that all alone feeling again

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I have that all alone feeling again

 

I just want Olt to hit some dingers and see how long we can keep "Samardzija is awesome but winless" going.

[Elwood]

I rushed home just in time to see the tarp come out.

[TruffleShuffle]

you rushed home to watch the cubs??

[Guest]

Samardzija is coming back out to pitch after an hour-plus rain delay.
