This is the same nonsense you spouted ad nauseam last year. We told you repeatedly that you were digging too deep into things and trying to make stats say things that they weren't capable of saying. And then the Cubs BABIP'd .328 in the second half last year, completely debunking your notions. And now you're ready to dive back in after a 5 game sample? I mean, seriously, you are trying to take Pull% from 4 games and deducing some Big Theory about our organizational philosophies. First half 2017: 43.6 (1st) Second: 39.9 (16th) They didn't debunk horsefeathers. Maddon even talked about it several times last season. He said he was preaching the same thing but the hitters weren't listening. It's not an organizational philosophy; it's a lot of young hitters who aren't yet adept at hitting the ball where it's pitched. This is nothing, and you should feel bad for saying it
