9/28 - Pittsburgh (Maholm) @ CUBS (Prior) 1:20 CDT, WGN TV

Does anyone know the Cubs season batting average with RISP? It has got to be abolsutely awful!

 

.259, 10th in the NL. Their RISP OBP is .338, only better than Arizona.

 

This is helped none by the fact that Neifi has been at the plate with RISP the third most times on the team (1 fewer opportunity than Ramirez!) and has hit .264/.288/.426. Patterson is 6th on the team for most opportunities with RISP and has hit an amazing .218/.273/.307.

 

Combined Corey and Neifi have gotten more than 17% of the Cubs AB's with RISP. Neither of them should have gotten these opportunities - the bench (preferably in another town) was an option.

 

That is quite an impressive RISP slugging for Corey. Even Macias couldn't pull that off.

 

Edit: I lied. Jose's line is .250/.267/.300 in 40 at-bats

Cubs 9th inning, meet nutshell. Nutshell, 9th inning

HAHAHAHAHAHA

 

Macias close and late: .130/.143/.152 in 46 at-bats

 

Macias's AVG+OBP+SLG Close and late is still lower than Lee's AVG in that situation. Hilariously depressing.

Just think, if Macias hadn't started, he surely would have pinch hit, so you lose either way.

Words cannot describe my level of hatred for this collection of gutless clowns and their brain-dead manager. I'd rather see every single guy on the roster released and the entire West Tenn team called up to Chicago for next season than watch this train wreck of a ballclub.

 

Dusty, I hate you. Please go back to San Francisco and smoke your weed.
