oh look, a pitcher that Heyward struggles against. that should be a fun matchup.

heyward's numbers don't look particularly bad for a hitter's numbers against francisco liriano (or among his teammates)

Looks like his SLG is lower compared to others, but I think we may have to deal with that with Heyward.

[UMFan83]

Yeah it's a tough lefty. Heyward isn't a platoon player but he will probably struggle against tough lefties.

i mean the only guy there with a decent slg against him is KB, who has been a liriano destroying machine so far in a whole seven PA

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Hammel definitely makes his offseason home in Eagleton.

I was going to make everyone feel bad by showing Montero's numbers against Liriano, but they've never faced each other which is surprising.

[Andy]

Yesterday was dumb. Pittsburgh must pay for this dumbness with pain. Lots of pain. And dongs.

[Cubswin11]

Liriano is walking nearly 5 per 9 innings. He isn't going more than 5 innings.

Lots of teams are starting to get really good at social media, but the Cubs are especially great at it.
