    Not a great effort there.

    He doesn't have any power to sacrifice, so overhaul away.

    I'm still monitoring all the Washington games to make sure the Cubs can get Home Field Advantage in the NLCS, but maybe that is just grasping for a reason for the games to matter.

    Like I said, it doesn't matter right now, but it does matter in the playoffs if he is coming up in the 6 spot with the middle of the order guys on base. Let Heyward take his walks in front of the pitcher. No, it still doesn't matter. Putting Heyward 8th means it's less likely to have guys on base for Bryant when he comes up in the 2 spot. The overall difference is entirely negligible. It may be statistically negligible, and it may be meatball thinking on my part, but I still can't buy into the fact that a #8 hitter has the same impact on the game as a #6 hitter. Especially when the hitter in question is slugging at a near historically low rate, it sure feels he can have a larger negative impact on the team's scoring chances when hitting 6th.

    It doesn't really ever matter. Like I said, it doesn't matter right now, but it does matter in the playoffs if he is coming up in the 6 spot with the middle of the order guys on base. Let Heyward take his walks in front of the pitcher.

    I am amazed that Heyward is still batting 6th. He is essentially the 2nd worst hitter in all of MLB. It doesn't matter right now, but he needs to be hitting 8th in the playoffs.
  7. Irrelevant Dude
    It's really not even close between those three. Give me the Cardinals any day.
  8. Irrelevant Dude
    Out of all qualified hitters, only Adeiny Hechavarria has a lower OPS than Heyward, so it is safe to say you could plug in almost any name you want to the start of your sentence and have it be a correct statement.
  9. Irrelevant Dude
    His OPS is awful, but the SLG... ee gads!
  10. Irrelevant Dude
    If Heyward averaged 1-43 over the course of the season, but that one hit was always a home run, I think I might take it.
  11. Irrelevant Dude
    Hammel is still a bum. OK, he is a serviceable #4 starter for most teams, but for the Cubs... he's a bum.

    http://rizzo44.com/event-sponsorship-application-form/ Presenting - $25,000 Triple - $10,000 Double - $5,000 Well, unless the donations pick up an awful lot, that double looks awfully good. How about a donation campaign for Fred?

    Not watching, stuck at work...that actually happened? They were celebrating in the dugout as if they had just tied or gone ahead. He was kind of hopping through the dugout from one end to the other with the rest of the team lined up giving him fives.
  14. Irrelevant Dude
    Hazelbaker dancing through the dugout down 4-1 was a nice touch.
  15. Irrelevant Dude
    The one time we want Heyward to hit his usual dribbler to the right side...
  16. Irrelevant Dude
    I would love this so much just to see Kyle's reaction.
  17. Irrelevant Dude
    Lost in the fact that Hendricks is throwing a no hitter, we're in the 9th inning and haven't even hit the 2 hour mark yet.
  18. Irrelevant Dude
    My palms are extremely sweaty.
  19. Irrelevant Dude
    This is so much fun to watch.
  20. Irrelevant Dude
    Arrieta is pretty clearly the 3rd best pitcher on the Cubs right now, but would he take offense to being "demoted" to Game 3 similar to the All-Star game rumors of him deciding not to pitch after he wasn't chosen as the starter?
  21. Irrelevant Dude
    Just don't question it. That was as close a play as you'll ever see.
  22. Irrelevant Dude
    Looks out to me.
  23. Irrelevant Dude
    Because Heyward is batting, so they really don't have anything to lose.
  24. Irrelevant Dude
    "I have no stake in knowing any knowledge" That about sums it up.
  25. Irrelevant Dude
    Yeah, somehow the Astros stealing bases doesn't concern me.
