Man, Bryant has been absolutely brutal in bases loaded spots.

 

THIS MUST MEAN SOMETHING.

Kris Bryant has no balls

Cahill for 6th starter.

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

That's a very athletic play by Cahill very impressive.

[Ski]

I think someone has said the Cubs have an 1.100+ OPS in bases loaded situations and that tells me a lot about confirmation bias because it certainly feels to me that they've been much much worse.

 

But I'm a fallible human being, prone to lapses and superstition

Something like 1.300 with the bases loaded and no outs. With any outs, it drops to the mid .700s.

[Schwarber Fan]

If Cahill gets out of this inning scot free I say keep him in the rotation until the end of the year

 

He's still not a better option than Lackey or Hammel against most teams other than the Colorado Springs Sky Sox.

[BigSlick]

Montero makes up for his good deed by doing something bad

 

What a rough year for Miggy

[Omar]

meh. let Cahill go 6.

[Schwarber Fan]

At 80+, no way. With the current state of our pen, he could be very useful there moving forward.

whats a Sky Sox?

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

Outstanding outing from Cahill! Very impressive and needed.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I'm glad I wasn't a very serious fan when Steve Stone did color because I find his smarmy smug style really off-putting

 

Also my mom knew him in College

 

Your mom and Steve Stone probably did it.

 

Imagine this guy's o-face:

that is his o-face. what am I missing here?

Well, it was .091 on the season coming into that AB and now under .200 in his career. I'll admit I embellish a lot but this is a fact.

No, I'm proposing a 6 man rotation until the playoffs

[Sammy Sofa]

Whoops. I'll start the nightcap game. Sorry to miss my start time!

SSS alert

 

He had a 1.500 OPS with the bases loaded last year in 12 PA

This year he is 1-12 with the bases loaded

 

Either way we are talking about 26 PA sample size.

[UMFan83]

Crap, I thought that ball was going to deflect off the giant bird standing in the infield

[BigSlick]

Mr. Heyward...do you do anything except commit outs

 

fewer outs, i would say, would be nicer

[Omar]

Remember when RP David Weathers started for the Marlins against the Cubs in 2004, and went 5 scoreless?

 

The Brewers probably feel how the Cubs felt.

[mul21]

 

Thats true. Dan Plesac is still the worst color I've heard for the Cubs.

 

Have you mentally blocked out the Joe Carter years?

even Joe Carter can't hold a candle to Dave Otto. holy. [expletive].

 

Carter was way worse. At least Otto could form actual words when he was talking.

[JonJayCutler]

Seriously, nobody has said "Thick Onion Cravy" yet?

 

You guys disappoint me.

[UMFan83]

Sure, he's had a number of IF hits over the past couple of weeks. I think the number is 2.

[treebird]

that was one of the more egregious "here are some boobs for you fans at home to ogle" montages i've seen in a while.

[Cubswin11]

Nice work by Montgomery, hopefully he's rounding into shape here

[Schwarber Fan]

Montero should just quit. Nice job, Monty.

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

Miggy is so bad at throwing out runners his throws are now being cutoff by the pitcher. :lol:
