07/05 Miami (Latos) @ CUBS (Hendricks) 1:20 CDT, CSN TV

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 11-1 (.917) when they steal 2 or more bases.... 32-35 (.478) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Umpiring is atrocious. They must have a long flight tonight.

Hendricks is taking advantage of it too but this strike zone is trash. Manny Ramirez is right.

[PrimeTime]

Baxter magic

[UMFan83]

As bad as the offense has been, 5 runs allowed in the last 5.5 games is awesome.

[ARCubsFan]

More good bunting

[Guest]

Ump probably would have called that a strike if it hadn't hit Baxter.

 

Another poor pitcher sac bunt.

What'd Manny say?

[UMFan83]

Fowler is like Willie Mays Hayes in Major League 2...too many swings with an upper cut to them.

[jersey cubs fan]

The Cubs need to replace pat Hughes ASAP if they have to put up with this incompetence every game.

[PrimeTime]

Fowler blows..Geez

[ARCubsFan]

This is abysmal

[NotSoSober]

maybe fowler should go back to the split grip

i kinda wouldnt mind seeing how he'd do just batting righty always if he's going to be that bad from the left side

[Gilby]

I'm not sure whose hitting I've been most disappointed in between Castro, Fowler, and Soler. I mean, Castro's been the worst, obviously, but I was expecting Soler to be a high-.800s OPS monster and Fowler to continue being one of the best leadoff hitters in the game. Very disappointing.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS seeing 3.52 P/PA so far.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I'd have actually gotten the out at first and let Latos get to second.

[PackLandVA]

Pitchout perhaps?

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 32-8 (.800) when they get a quality start.... 11-28 (.282) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Guest]

sweet pickoff

[PackLandVA]

Or pick off. Either works.

[Guest]

Nice!

I don't know but when just almost every hitter is underperforming expectations or career norms you have to wonder if something is wrong with their instruction.
