Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS have scored in the 1st inning 1 time in their last 6 games (3-2).

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[CubInOK]

I can only assume him staying in the 3 spot would eventually degrade your brain to the point where you start sounding like Bernie Lincicome

 

It's needless lineup alchemy at this point now that they have Jackson. It does little but potentially get less AB's for better hitters.

 

CUBS are 20-4 (.833) when Coghlan hits in the third spot

 

 

Go CUBS !!

So Coghlan is worth 16 WAR according to some moron writer in St. Louis. Cool.

[rawaction]

Yeah, I'm done with Coghlan in the 3 hole. At least 1 of the 2 best players on the team need to be assured of batting in the 1st inning in every single game. Fred showed the record when the Cub score in the 1st. Probably similar around the league. The best way to score in the 1st is to make sure Rizzo and/or Bryant bat in the 1st.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 12-1 (.923) when they don't allow any extra base hits.... 65-56 (.537) when they do

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[ARCubsFan]

It's so brutal watching Kyle Hendricks pitch. Nibble, nibble, nibble, hard contact.

When your first two batters fail to get on base, you limit your opportunity to score down to 1 possibility. Maybe the answer lies in the selection of the first two batters rather than the the third ??

[BigSlick]

I dont think Hendrick is going to miss many bats today, so we're gonna need a lot more of these double plays

[Fred Hornkohl]

DBacks are seeing 5.29 P/PA through 2 innings.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[TMan92]

Man are the Braves horrendous.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 74-55 (.574) when they draw 1 or more walks.... 3-2 (.600) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Second inning dongs are nice, too.

[mul21]

Is Javy using one of Soler's bats? there's a 68 on the end of it.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are seeing 4.86 P/PA through 2 innings.

 

 

Go CUBS !!
