Has the contact play ever worked for the Cubs this year?

No

Running on contact, lol

[squally1313]

I bit my tongue on asking why Willi Castro was hitting 5th against a righty and, of course, here we are

[I owned a Suzuki]

I cannot believe with all the advanced metrics, the contact play makes sense

[Cubbies1996]

So many meatballs thrown to Castro that he’s done nothing with

How about a granny for the kid 

[CledusSnow]

Will it be another based loaded goose egg?

[squally1313]

Criticism where criticism is due, PCA has to get a ball in the air there. 

[profisme]

Keep starting that guy

[JHBulls]

Well done kid.

[Wilson A2000]

Way to be, Caissie! 

[Derwood]

Best player ever

[We Got The Whole 9]

 Iowa call ups have our 2 most recent hits with the bases loaded.

There's our superstar RF coming through in the clutch.

The only Cubs who should ever be going on contact with the infield in are Nico and PCA... and even then you should probably not most of the time. 

I'm pretty sure Ian Happ has never scored on the contact play in the MLs

[chibears55]

Theres your runs Boyd, make them hold up

[profisme]

Boyd is nibbling today. 

[JHBulls]

Cal Raleigh has some stiff big dumper competition around baseball.  

[We Got The Whole 9]

Last time Boyd faced these guys his command inexplicably unraveledand they hammered him. Can we not repeat that?

[We Got The Whole 9]

Are you intimidated, Matt, what the hell?

[squally1313]

2nd and 3rd, two outs, 8 hitter up, know how this goes
