4/1/18 CUBS (A Boy Named Q) @ marlins (A few consonants & a couple of vowels) 12:10 CST NBCChicago+

[Agony and Ivy]

Did he really just go 6 pitches with Dillon Peters? I would like at least one swing and miss before turning it over to the pen in the 5th, Q.

[HawkeTrackler]

Cubs are 1-for-13 in getting a man in from third with less than two outs

[Agony and Ivy]

 

Unlike the Cubs hitters (and missers).

 

The Cubs K rate has been just fine.

 

You sure about that???

 

I’m counting 37 Ks in in 108 outs - 34%!

 

That's absolutely not how you calculate that but whatever.

 

Edit: If you want to learn about how percentages work this is for you.

Schwarber is so ugly in the OF.

[PackLandVA]

Schwarber makes it look so effortless sometimes. Not on that play. And rarely. But sometimes.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Love that all of Brinson’s solid contact is going for outs.

Sweet! That means the offense is even better than what they've shown so far with their more than six runs a game average.

And so beautiful at the plate.

Ok, not the K rate, but still a lot of swings and misses. Especially compared to Marlins over the same period. And in the context of Q’s pitching relative to the first three innings of this game.

I don't know what any of that means. I said the K rate had been fine. You used a made up and incorrect K rate. And now it's not about the K rate?

Good hustle by Heyward

[Agony and Ivy]

horsefeathers off with your safety squeeze Joe.

[Schwarber Fan]

Situational hitting continues to be brutal. Jesus.

lol

[Cubswin11]

So horsefeathering stupid

[Tim]

If that's a tough righty, I get it. But with Javy vs a lefty, I'd really like to have him swing away.

[r_mack]

This team just isn't clutch at all. Not sure how much more of a sample size we need from last year to this year.

Clutch isn’t a thing

What about scrappiness?

[CubinNY]

Javey needs a nice sit down with Rizzo or Bryant where they tell him to knock this horsefeathers off.

[Derwood]

Castro can't wait to be traded

[javy knows my name]

[PackLandVA]

Dare I say it - Q close to getting back to a manageable pitch count.

[Agony and Ivy]

Castro ripped that ball and I thought it was gone.

[David]

Situational hitting continues to be brutal. Jesus.
