8/10 Road Cobs (Kyle) @ Reds (Sonny) 6:10 WGN

[Sosa21MVP]

I’m not sure what’s worse, road Cubs or this Edith Cox horsefeathers.

 

Really wish when you ignore someone that it would ignore quoted posts as well. I've seen it done on other forums.

this is embarrassing

[UMFan83]

Jesus 5 HRs for this dude in 2.5 games this series including 3 today

[Edith Cox]

MLB claims this Aristides Aquino guy isn't even good enough to be the Reds Top-30 prospects

[Derwood]

Aquino sucks, though, because even though he's been on base 3 times tonight, he hasn't driven in or scored any runs besides his own homers

[BigSlick]

i think the cubs should just consider 2/3 of their road games automatic forfeits and not even throw real pitchers or starters against them. just use your scrapheap players and keep your energy for home games

[Edith Cox]

Cardinals getting lucky against the Pirates.

 

Had infield in with bases loaded and 1 out, Marte hits a 109 MPH rocket the SS somehow lungs and snags behind him before Bell strikes out looking.

there's no reason to watch or track any of these games - they're foretold in the stars. both the brewers and cardinals will pick up a game tonight

 

 

everyone else should find something fun to do with their saturday evening

What makes this post funny is that's exactly why he wasn't viewed a Top-30 prospect 35 HR total with 66 RBI and Runs.

I don’t really care about holding a lead because the others suck anyways. I want us to show we can win road series and take over the division. I know baseball is weird in the playoffs but a 87 win team who can’t win on the road doesn’t exactly pump me up when the Dodgers exist

Any scout using RBI or runs as a metric for judging prospects should lose his job immediately

They 100% use the RBI stat when guys take bad AB and don't get them in.

[Derwood]

For people who don't think they use SSS splits to make the line up. Heyward 1-for-13 vs Gray, Almora 3-for-7 with a HR.

 

How is that working out for you?

Good I don't have to watch Heyward take horsefeathers AB leading off

Because they are 98 years old

You get to watch Almora take even worse AB leading off, while also playing shitty defense. You got what you wished for

Nope because guys like Aquino can mash when challenged with nobody on base, but when guys are in scoring position they don't take good AB and have a hard time driving in runs unless they guess right and hit a HR.

Nobody is taking worse AB than Heyward leading off dude is hitting under .130 there since 2014.

lol

[Schwarber Fan]

So Castellanos probably gets tomorrow off. Yay for Almora in the lineup against Castillo.

[Edith Cox]

The Pirates need to fire everyone. Cardinals take a 2-1 lead because the SS threw to 3rd on a stand up double and then it rolled into dugout.

[soccer10k]

Road Cubs back in full force.

This game sucks, and I'm bored, so I'm going to break this down.

 

"Since 2014"

 

Heyward batting 1st in the order:

 

2014: .270/.343/.393 (428 PA's)

2015: .000/.000/.000 (4 PA's)

2016: .000/.250/.000 (12 PA's)

2017: .105/.227/.158 (22 PA's)

2018: /1.000/ (1 PA)

2019: .159/.227/.377 (75 PA'S)

 

So the one year that he got consistent playing time, he did pretty well. The next 5 seasons he racked up a whopping total of 114 PA's and was not good.

 

HARD HITTING ANALYSIS

[Schwarber Fan]

The Pirates record since our last trip to PNC is almost unbelievable.
