THAT"S MY LARGE ADULT SON

[Sammy Sofa]

Oh, good; tons of bullpen innings incoming.

[squally1313]

Thanks guys, and hey, there you go Schwarbs

[We Got The Whole 9]

Jeez what a terrible ab

[HawkeTrackler]

Mark Za-boo-nis imo

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Why can't the guy after the leadoff double never seem to at least get the guy to third?

[Brian]

was that pitch as high as AtBat would lead me to believe

[Cubswin11]

horsefeathers off Zagunis and Joe. Just let Lester bunt there and trust Zobrist can get a guy in from 3B even if Jon is done for the day.

[ConstableRabbit]

Lester could have done that.

[Sammy Sofa]

Someone find me the stat that proves the Cubs are as terrible at cashing in on leadoff doubles as I know they must be.

[Brian]

Bryant: Swings like Juan Pierre, walks like Bonds

[squally1313]

KB turned into Zobrist before our eyes.

[Schwarber Fan]

This is going to be one of those super frustrating games where we leave RISP every inning.

I don’t know about this specific scenario (or if you can even find it) but as of like 3 days ago we were top 5-10 in the league in batting average and other factors with RISP.

YOU KNOW I'M RIGHT.

8th in wRC with runners in scoring position

3rd in high leverage situations

 

[Cubswin11]

Brach looked pretty damn good there

8th out of 8 and 3rd out of 3 probably

GIVE ME THE NUMBERS FOR SQUANDERED LEADOFF DOUBLES, YOU DICKLESS APES. I am petty, and I demand my rage be verified.

[squally1313]

41 doubles on the year (probably before today)...I am just above the level of boredom required to take on this task, but you're probably only looking for like 10 instances.

[squally1313]

Their bullpen has actually been pretty shaky this year, so still in good shape. Even Kenley has been pretty dong happy.

I've seen 4 of them wasted in the tiny sample size of games I've watched, so yes, I assure you with the power of my large galaxy brain, that you're correct

[CyHawk_Cub]

The leadoff double futility has been a thing since like '15, right? Correlating with the period of time the team was good and we even gave AF.
