9/28 Royals (Ventura) @ Cubs (Hendricks), 7:05, CSN

[weis21]

List of Cubs slumping going into the final week:

 

Fowler

Schwarber

Rizzo

Soler

Russell

Coghlan

Jackson

 

List of Cubs hitting well:

 

Bryant

Castro

 

Neither:

 

Baez

Montero

 

Does this sound about right?

I really don't think it's worth worrying about. The Cubs lead MLB in runs in September (at least up until a few days ago - haven't checked since). They'll either have a good or bad day in the WC game. It's that simple. After that anything is possible.

Dunno if this has been asked yet, but why are there so many Royals fans?

 

I've been wondering that myself. Seems really odd for a September weeknight that was rescheduled(especially with the Chiefs on MNF at Lambeau), but I guess if you paid for a ticket and could re-work plans, you probably would with this Royals team.

They have a 3 game series with the White Sox starting tomorrow.

I hear ya. Not super concerned, was mostly checking to see if my observations were correct and don't feel like looking up last 7/last 14 splits

Because AL fans always flock to Wrigley when they play us in interleague games. Schedule comes out; see Wrigley; circle the date.

[Guest]

That looked closer on replay than it was in real time.

[UMFan83]

Jesus that wasn't even close. We're umpires wrong this often before replay?

This is his thing. Just let him do it.

Remember there was a time when we had the technology to get those calls right and we didn't.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Tony Randazzo blew that one big time !

[Schwarber Fan]

Hosmer told the whole story

This makes the most sense.

Err you realize this is a makeup game right? lol

 

I think the White sox thing is most logical. Possibly also royals fans who bought tickets to the game rained out and decided to come back for the game

They're still wrong quite often.

[Gilby]

Goodness. That is a Major League umpire.

haha. yeah i was too lazy too which is why i gave the blanket "not worth worrying about" answer (but I do believe that). Off the top of my head and totally spitballing, I'd say Schwarber, Soler, Rizzo (?) probably haven't been that cold. Perhaps some others, too. Honestly they've run into some really good pitching. But, that isn't really much of an excuse going into the playoffs.

 

Way late here, but how does a ML ump blow that obvious call.

You've caused me to not want to actually look up the numbers and instead ask others to

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 37-30 (.552) when they GIDP.... 53-35 (.602) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Ski]

God [expletive] damnit.

[UMFan83]

Damn rat boy

[Guest]

lol Escobar actively avoided 2nd base and did not get remotely out of the way of the runner

why does it matter that it's a makeup game? the date has been known for months

[Schwarber Fan]

And then they don't bunt when they should.

[Ski]

Less GIDPs, more doubles with runners on base, please.
