No chance this goes beyond Maples. Zero.

It went beyond Maples.

 

Yeah, great. Hope it made you happy to point this out.

This horsefeathers is going to end the same way it did last year. We are going to just keep missing chances to pull away from Milwaukee and lose the division to them by 1 or 2 games.

Like every single other baseball team in history, the offense is going to slump. That said this is a pretty bad one. 3 for 33 with RISP in the last 5 games. Great that we hit a bunch of routine fly balls that went out of the park in Houston but back in reality we need to hit

Serves us right for noting that we were actually outside the bottom third in baseball with RISP for the first time in the Maddon era as of a few weeks ago.

This would be less worrisome if it wasn't indicative of a bizarre area of struggle that's been ongoing for years now.

Cubs watch 34% of the strikes they see. 5th worst in baseball.
