Addison Russell [expletive] rules

[jersey cubs fan]

did he stop at third before continuing on? He looked like he did not want to go on.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

How did Miggy score on that? Lol

 

Thanks not Starling Marte.

Has maddon offered any explanation for why he hasn't been hitting the pitcher eighth?

[Fred Hornkohl]

In September (10-5) the CUBS have outscored the opponents 81-55.

 

First 3 innings: 29 runs

Middle 3 innings: 35 runs

Last 3 innings: 16 runs

Extra innings: 1 run

 

CUBS have been outscored 8-0 in the 9th inning.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

LA STELLA

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Nice job. But, I still hate you for depriving me of Javy, Rat Boy.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

La Stella is a machine!

[Guest]

My bad. I forgot about rat face

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 69-28 (.711) when they score 3 runs or more.... 15-33 (.313) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

TLS son

[BigSlick]

i must have missed the whole rat boy naming process

[Schwarber Fan]

So La Stella is actually pretty decent, huh?

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Has maddon offered any explanation for why he hasn't been hitting the pitcher eighth?

 

I believe it is a combo of not wanting Ross 7th or if La Stella or Russell, his #9 guys, are out.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Sure would have liked to see a bunt down the 3rd base line there.

[Andy]

did he stop at third before continuing on? He looked like he did not want to go on.

He definitely looked to be slowing down, but Snider played the ball so poorly Jones had no choice but to send him.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are seeing 3.00 P/PA through 2 innings.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

I think he's just letting his horses/potential 9 innings guys bat 9th while the guys who last 5/6 innings are still hitting 8th.

[BigSlick]

Schwarber is also hitting under 200 for his last 30 games, but because of all the walks and power he's at nearly an .800 OPS

 

Schwarber owns (but the baseball gods demand more hits)

[PrimeTime]

Umm please don't go to [expletive] now Hendricks

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Can we have a dong of our own, please?

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 39-40 (.494) when the opponent hits at least 1 HR.... 45-21 (.682) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[ConstableRabbit]

Umm please don't go to [expletive] now Hendricks

"Now"?
