If you’re that worried Javy can’t get him in there just PH Zobrist

 

Yeah, that would actually have been a good idea.

 

Although I suppose Javy is usually a good bunter.

lol letting heyward bat there with zobrist and almora available

I don’t care how good a bunter he is. That’s a stupid move there, let him swing or PH if you don’t like his contact chances

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Addison Russell starts to cost money next year. He's really good on defense, but his offense blows. Not sure the Orioles would even really be that excited.

[UMFan83]

Now the silly thing is letting Heyward bat

 

Ever

[The_Achiever]

Christ almighty this team is infuriating.

[Sammys Boombox]

What an awful sequence of at bats. Russell was looking somewhat promising. Hate the bunt. Really hate that Heyward just sucks.

Tough to disagree.

[17 Seconds]

maddon not even trying to win

[Schwarber Fan]

For the millionth time, thank god we won the 2016 World Series.

[Sammy Sofa]

But they'll win a game soon by something, like, 18-3, so it'll all be OK.

[Gilby]

Heyward is about the 5th best option for RF in the organization

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Absolutely. Although I suppose it doesn't mean they have to be so blah for so many stretches when they should have the best record in the NL.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

If you’re so gung ho about giving up an out with Báez, you absolutely have to PH for Heyward. Just a horribly managed inning by Joe.

I know I’m the Addy apologist here. But he had a low-mid .700 OPS like 3 days ago and is/was at a mid 4 win pace. He’s walking more and striking out less than ever. He hit a ball that’s an XBH like 99.9% of the time tonight. That swing was ugly but it is Andrew Miller..... it mostly like seemed like an outside fastball that all the sudden started moving late and he had to emergency swing it.

All squibs and minimal power. He's basically Mr. Cub these days.

I understand. But he's still really mostly poop on offense. I give him credit for looking good at times before slumping, but he's still underwhelming and I'm not sure how much value he really has around the Majors considering his cheap years are expiring.

[TMan92]

They are adding on right here

Back in 2016, that worked a lot. But like the Cubs, there has been some regression the past few years.

[NotSoSober]

My kingdom for 2 solo HRs cause no way in hell this team scores any other way

[Cubswin11]

Having Happ waste a strike on a bunt attempt against Miller seems smart.

 

 

STOP horsefeathering BUNTING

[Bryants Disco Ball]

KB dong is our only chance. So, I guess, do it KB.
