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

[TMan92]

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

 

They will figure it out in a few games. Trust me.

Cubs can’t win on the road and Pirates can’t win anywhere. Something’s got to give.

[UMFan83]

Monty was roughed up in his first start with the Royals but in the 4 starts since then he’s rocking a 2.95 ERA. Of course he is.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Cubs get 12 men on base but can only get 1 run.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Kyle is really not good on the road this year and it sucks

You spelled the Cubs wrong.

Just a random drop in to bitch about the horsefeathering Astros being so unstoppable

[Edith Cox]

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

 

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

 

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

 

Yes since Heyward publicly said he didn't like leading off

Never used the ignore thingy til just now.

Odd I would have guessed that you'd be more liberal with it

[TMan92]

Just a random drop in to bitch about the horsefeathering Astros being so unstoppable

 

Half of the AL or more is hot garbage.

[Edith Cox]

We only have to go 19-5 to finish with a winning record on the road.

HARD HITTING ANALYSIS

 

Yes since Heyward publicly said he didn't like leading off

 

So after a season where he was moderately successful batting 1st, he just decided to be bad instead?

He was so moderately successful batting first they removed him from the role the first time shortly after he got his OPS over .700 on the year.
