If you were hitting .050, you'd have a 66% chance of getting a hit over 21 ABs

[UMFan83]

Last hit with RISP was Starlin Castro off Madison Bumgarner on Thursday. Since then 0-21

[ScrubMD]

Didn't we have a full no-hitter's worth stretch earlier in the year?

[Sammy Sofa]

That...was disheartening.

[ScrubMD]

[UMFan83]

Id love to see if there's any evidence that facing elite starters on consecutive days can throw a team off and put the offense into a slump.

 

In June the Cubs were a few days away from winning 17-0, and just scored 8 runs against the twins and then faced Kershaw and Greinke and then scored 9 runs in their next 7 games and was in an offensive funk for the next 5-6 weeks.

 

I'm sure it's a meatball theory but damn if we aren't seeing the offense slump since facing Bumgarner and Kershaw

[BigSlick]

It feels like the Cubs have stranded a lead off Fowler double every single game the past week

 

It's cool he keeps hitting though
