[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 26-23 (.531) when they GIDP.... 32-24 (.571) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Ski]

Fantastic.

[DiamondMind]

Im really struggling to be that upset about this game

[Andy]

We would be so good if Soler would even be average and not [expletive] awful

[UMFan83]

5 HR in 294 ABs for Soler. If you would have told me he's play a majority of the season and hit less than 20 HRs I would have laughed at you

[Schwarber Fan]

Game. Go get the Giants.

[Ski]

Someone with as much power as Soler should have way more than 5 HRs in August, even with his DL stint.

Assuming they are going to be committed to Schwarber mostly at catcher next year I really want them to go after 1 of Upton/Heyward along with resigning Fowler

This. That kind of production out of RF is unacceptable.

[BrockLanders]

Soler has the same SLG% as Billy Burns.

[UMFan83]

Our OF defense is terrible

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 6-15 (.286) when the opponent triples.... 52-32 (.619) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[CincyCubsFan]

[expletive] off Cervelli.

Well yeah especially for someone who sucks in the field as well. hes bringing nothing to the table

[Schwarber Fan]

Cervelli had to business getting to 3rd on that.

[DiamondMind]

You're killing me Soler

[Sammy Sofa]

But I thought they passed on the other awesome Cubans who were awesome right away and stayed awesome to get the most awesomest Cuban.

[Cubswin11]

Would CJ be that much worse than Motte? Yeah he's gonna be wild, but wouldn't you rather have wild at times but with awesome stuff rather than just straight fastballs? Especially if we are gonna have Motte pitching in not "that" high leverage of spots? Edited August 6, 2015 by Cubswin11

[Ski]

Soler has the rookie excuse right now, but that'll drop off by next year. We'll need to look for someone else if he can't maintain a .750 OPS, given his potential.

 

Easier said than done, of course.

Motte has not been the problem here.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 3-12 (.200) when they allow 7 runs or more.... 55-35 (.611) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

He hasn't been good lately, not just picking on this game

[Schwarber Fan]

Using Motte for more than one inning was dumb but whatever. It's hard to sweep a series in Pittsburgh.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 3-41 (.068) when they trail at the end of the 8th inning.... 55-6 (.902) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Castro, Denorfia, and Herrera. Would take a miracle.
