Elephant in the room time: PCA's hitting .140 vs. fastballs since early August

[cubfansince77]

per Boog in today's broadcast. Then he and Jim debated on whether or not Pete is mentally fatigued or physically fatigued. CC has tried resting him some lately (2 games as I recall) and the kid still looks sluggish. He was pulverizing fastballs before the break. But with Tucker out it limits their options. Plus, as JD pointed out, his Defense is so elite it's hard to sit him at all. Thoughts?

left out a few facts

[We Got The Whole 9]

Seiya and Busch are probably not doing much better. The Cubs are bottom 10 vs all 3 fastball types in the 2nd half. They've all been late on them. Hard contact is going to center for the most part.
