such a beast

[weis21]

Schwarber is pretty good at hitting baseballs.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Maybe stop watching baseball guys because this is what it is these days.

 

Yes, the offense has been struggling but this is pretty common and representative of what the game is in 2015 (which is part of why this is one of the better teams in the league yet all of you seem to hate watching it).

 

I keep seeing people say this, and yeah, maybe it's bad overall. But we are on the back half of it being bad. Dude, just give me the Brewers offense. This is [expletive] brutal and not every team is this bad.

The back half of it being bad, while sitting in a playoff spot.

 

Let's keep talking about how we are a playoff team on July 21 and ignore what we are seeing.

 

You are seeing a team that has struggled to score runs all season long but has remained competitive all season long.

 

I sure as [expletive] don't like that the Cubs struggle to score far too often, but this over-the-top whining when the team is actually pretty good is stupid. Save your whining for when it is justified.

 

I'll have to go back and check, but don't recall the Cubs sucking on offense at the beginning of the season.

[Schwarber Fan]

Schwarber! Cmon Kris

[Deeg]

Man, Schwarber... He sure looks like real deal.

[ScrubMD]

If Bryant and Rizzo can start just being ok, with Schwarber, Soler, Russell, and Fowler hitting, things could get better in a hurry.

Also has around a 70% chance to make the playoffs at this point based on most projections

[weis21]

God dammit

What's KB BA with RISP?

[Guest]

that trueblood guy from BPwrigleyville (the one who i think is like a college kid) was annoying me tweeting about quitting on the schwarber at C experiment so i unfollowed him

[ScrubMD]

I might be imaging it, but it really seems like Bryant and Rizzo have been ruining an awful lot of rallies lately.

[Schwarber Fan]

When is the last time we hit a ball to the wall with a guy at first and it didn't bounce over?

[jersey cubs fan]

I'll have to go back and check, but don't recall the Cubs sucking on offense at the beginning of the season.

 

They weren't 7 games over 500 then either. They were 15-15 at one point and not in a playoff spot, they are now 7 games over and in a playoff spot.

 

The offense sucks, the team does not.

[Guest]

i'm about to order chinese food

 

prepare for runs

 

i'm gonna get the beef chow fun this time

[NotSoSober]

bryant and rizzo have been awful lately. this saddens me and must stop

[PrimeTime]

[expletive] it up again with a guy on third with less than 2 outs..Jesus [expletive] christ..because no one can hit a decent deep fly or slow roller..holy hell

[UMFan83]

Bryant slumping badly since that 2 HR game against Miami

yeah. [expletive] rizzo hitting a line drive to CF with RISP. hit that softer next time [expletive].

Baez hitting .220 with his usual power would also be a huge upgrade over what we're getting.

[TruffleShuffle]

What's KB BA with RISP?

 

.333

[Guest]

actually i will get lo mein instead of chow fun

[jersey cubs fan]

[expletive] it up again with a guy on third with less than 2 outs..Jesus [expletive] christ..because no one can hit a decent deep fly or slow roller..holy hell

you want them to try and hit a slow roller? You're mad that Rizzo hit the ball hard?

[Schwarber Fan]

Bryant just isn't hitting anything on a line right now. Ks, pop outs, and lazy fly balls.
