".179!" - Cardinals fan What do you know rednecks can read. Numbers at least -
Would be awesome if the Cubs could come back and win this
-
I would love to have him. Is our cap set up well enough that we can safely allot the amount of money he will receive and not screw ourselves over in the future?

https://twitter.com/CarrieMuskat/status/722898243063910400 Assuming this means they are about to call it or they are anticipating an extended delay.
-
I went with Something New which I am considering "Other" and guessing environmental disaster
-
Also, Heyward really isnt hitting anything right now offensively. It is possible the higher leg kick or whatever else they may have adjusted will lead to more HRs, but we won't know until he starts to hit consistently.
-
I mean, it's not unreasonable to get frustrated when everyone except Fowler is slumping at once. It's incredibly unlikely. I feel like that's happened at some point to every single Cubs team that I've ever followed. It's a long season and occasionally even great teams will slump.
-
It's not fun to watch the Cubs when they are getting shut down like this over a week stretch (yes I realize they've scored 5+ runs 3 different times in that stretch, that's still shut down for this offense) #hottake
-
Correct again. In his first three seasons he struck out like 373 times. In the next three his power went down and he combined to strike out more than 100 fewer times. I like both versions of Heyward but wouldn't you rather have the higher K, higher power Heyward since he was still getting On Base at a pretty good cilp even with the K's? Also considering those were his 20-22 seasons some reduction in his K's may be attributed just to getting a bit closer to his prime & acclimated to the league. I think one of the big reasons the Cubs signed him was to get a good bat that doesn't K at a high rate. Obviously the fact that he's just a great all around ball player was a big factor as well, but signing both him and Zobrist to me seemed like an attempt to add more contact to the lineup without sacrificing much in the way of patience and power.
-
he changed his swing/approach Is there any articles on this or info shedding light on this? His OBP hasn't changed too drastically. 22 year old Heyward looked like a monster especially when taking into count his glove. He accumulated 9.1 offensive wins in the 3 seasons up to and including the 27 HR season. He's accumulated 8.4 offensive wins in the 3 full seasons since then. But his 3.8 wins last year is the 2nd best of his career after his rookie season. I realize that's just one metric to compare.

I never want Kris Bryant not having a 3-0 green light Road Bryant tho
-
dammit it seems like at least 2 of our 2-5 hitters are slumping at any given moment which kills any big innings.
-
Tim should gift this site to you if you really do drive to Busch and the Cubs come back to win in the 9th inning.
-
3 more Hendricks outs from continuing a streak I didn't know and care about until yesterday.
-
I wish (not directed at you) that people would stop asking and/or expecting Heyward to dong. I know we want everyone to dong, but damn it, Heyward doesn't dong more than like Lindor for the Indians does. And I can't imagine everyone is expecting Lindor to dong when he comes up. Right? Right? It's going to happen 12 times this year, probably. Or like 10 more times than our pitchers combine for. He's gonna hit at least 20 after Mallee finishes reworking his swing.
-
i know, we should have focused on offense a little more during Theo's big rebuild.
-
The slumpers keep slumping (except Rizzo)
-
why the horsefeathers is he swinging at 3-0 down 4 runs and Rizzo on deck?
-
I like that move.
-
Daysball has not been very much fun this year. 2-3 if we lose this vs. 9-1 at night
-
Almost every MLB pitcher will be dealing against any offense when they can hit the corners & get an expanded Kzone. i know that was kind of my point.
-
OK maybe he will get hit hard today...if things continue this way we might get to break out our vaunted long relievers.
-
We still have 4 dudes that aren't hitting so being in a hole matters The point is that the Cubs are 11-3 and this is the 2nd inning of a game in April. No need to have reactionary 'its over' posts after falling into a 2 run hole early.
-
omg that was almost exactly 2015 NLDS Javy HR except it of course fell short
-
It's crazy how different the offense looks when they face pitchers who can locate on the corners (and umps willing to expand their zone to accommodate)
