And we're back to forgetting how to get clutch hits.

 

Back? They're, like, last or almost dead last when it comes to getting a guy in from 3B with less than 2 outs.

 

Someone respectable posted that a week or two ago; something like 42%.

Not just that, but getting big HITS with multiple runners on base. It happened a ton in August when we were scoring runs in bunches, and the past few weeks, not so much.

 

I don't give a [expletive] about that; that's going to fluctuate all the time. The bigger problem is stranding what are basically gimme runs, and they were doing that at an above average rate even when they've been scoring runs in bunches.

 

and a big part of it is that we strike out a lot, which is a byproduct of our power and our plate approach, both of which have a lot to do with how many runs we've been scoring for the past two months.

 

we've been scoring lots of runs. why is does it matter how we do in a specific situation?

 

It's a byproduct of along the lines of what Soul is talking about; that's always going to fluctuate up and down, like I said.

 

Being last or almost last when it comes to something as relatively simple as getting a guy across the plate from 3B from there's less than 2 outs is more problematic, especially when they're heading into the postseason where dong-driven drubbings are relatively rare.

Oh come on. I'm sick of the Pirates stellar [expletive] defense.

 

the cubs have clinched a playoff spot, they're up 2-0 in a meaningless game, and arrieta has a perfect game through 6. maybe try to enjoy baseball once.
