What happens in those situations is basically a matter of luck or happenstance. The idea is to get a lot of base runners on so that some of those times when we happen to get hits, there are runners on. We're inevitably going to fail more often than not in those situations. That's a fact. For people to be complaining about not getting hits in certain cherry picked situations is missing the point, entirely. Hey... the CUBS are really clutch with the bases loaded !!!

CUBS are 48-3 when they score 7 runs or more. Games like last night just don't happen that often.

The radio announcers have an annoying habit of calling any crowd that exceeds 40,000 a sellout, when the actual seating capacity is currently at 41,160.
