Is it me or has Happ really lost a step or two this season, even in the OF getting to some balls he just looks slower.

His sprint speed is at the 45 percentile which is the slowest in his career. He was at 66% last year 

[Connor McConnor]

Nice play by Shaw.

That seems like a rather steep decline.

I worry that Nico got overly encouraged by his recent power surge. 

[UMFan83]

15 base runners for the Cubs. Hope we don’t regret only scoring 5

Pretty bad batting average for lead off 

[BigSlick]

Its funny how good Swanson is with the bases empty. He's gotta be rocking at least an .850 OPS with the bases empty (I'm not gonna check it) 

 

EDIT: I checked and its .840, damn I'm good

Manzardo can hit, but he is an abysmal fielder 

[profisme]

They just clocked Keller’s changeup at 94. That is stupid. 

[Cubs206]

Helen Keller is trying to blow it 

[soccer10k]

I know they have to shift a bit there but if there's no shift, that's a easy DP ball.

[UMFan83]

damn that was perfectly hit....was hoping for a GIDP off the bat.  Time to buckle down.

[Soul]

Great minds and all that.

[UMFan83]

.540 xBA on that lineout

[gflore34]

That was such a BS top half there, dribblers for hits, it's only fitting a LD goes for an out.

[PeanutPunch33]

Nico and Danbsy are as good as it gets for middle infield defense

That was a monster pitch too, and he scalded it
