Rizzo was kinda sucky in Spring Training too. Don't think this is some kind of fluke.

Trust in Maddon and all that, but....why Travis Wood?

so he's shitty, is that what you're trying to say?

That was kinda weird. I know we have a short bench today, but Szczur or Castillo should be PHing in the 7th inning.

Needs an adjustment, pretty sure he's standing too close to the plate compared to last year and that's where the HBP's are coming from.

I wasn't too mad at Coghlan for the triple but watching that catch now I'm not very happy

[sneakypower]

can't believe that one stayed in the yard

Yep. Coghlan doesn't get within 10 yards of Soler's ball and it wouldn't even occur to us to be mad at him.

[Guest]

It was mostly his to take, but I think there was an element of 'I'm not gonna let you screw this up, Descalso' to Arenado taking that groundball.

I just don't understand how this offense can suck so badly.

They'll be fine if they continue to get guys on base. It's a matter of frequencies. However, they have to take care of these types of teams. They should at least win every series with a team this bad on paper.

 

No Maddon magic so far.

Going 8-50 (.160 BA) with RISP isn't going to help.

why is ross or castillo not in for this at bat?

[Guest]

why is ross or castillo not in for this at bat?

 

Because Hawkins is warmed up so they'd bring him in anyway.

Short bench with La Stella/Olt both hurt.

Yes, but Hawkins isn't that good so who cares.

Neither are Ross and Castillo.

[Careless]

Shocked that Hawkins wound up being the oldest player in the league at some point

 

And amused that he's played 20 years with 14 WAR.

[Fro]

Mike OLT in for the hero at-bat

[SouthSideRyan]

Opting for the blind guy with a broken wrist is an interesting strategy

[Guest]

An Olt dong would be glorious.

[George Hayduke]

Please don't suck.

[kujay]

Please don't suck.

 

That sucked.

[Fro]

Now we're in "We would have won this game if Bryant would have been up" territory!

[George Hayduke]

Just a hit, come on Cubs.
