    His career wOBA in high leverage situations is 296 and his K% is pushing 30. He has 3 HR and 8 2B in 180+ PA. Nowhere near the type of hitter he is, and the team would benefit greatly if he started performing there more often. He's one of their leaders and should be relied on to drive in runs at a high level consistently. Especially when the offense is struggling as much as it has this year, they should be able to rely on their MVP to pick up the slack. I know those numbers aren't great, but would it be a safe assumption that most guys high leverage numbers are a little lower than their career avg/norms? In high leverage spots, aren't hitters more times than not going to be facing elite level relief pitching which will/should suppress output numbers offensively? Not to replacement level. I mean they're different for everybody. Some rise up and some don't. But KB should be markedly better than a 296 wOBA 80 wRC+.

    He's certainly a guy who I can complain about, no matter how well he is laying his path to the HOF. This is pretty much my favorite Cub ever but he's not immune from criticism. No player is. And talking about their weaknesses shouldn't be as taboo as you guys make it out to be. His career wOBA in high leverage situations is 296 and his K% is pushing 30. He has 3 HR and 8 2B in 180+ PA. Nowhere near the type of hitter he is, and the team would benefit greatly if he started performing there more often. He's one of their leaders and should be relied on to drive in runs at a high level consistently. Especially when the offense is struggling as much as it has this year, they should be able to rely on their MVP to pick up the slack. Do you not agree with the simple statement that KB should have more RBI given the opportunities he's had?

    And...? He's hitting .285/.396/.526 over that time. It's almost as if he had a guy hitting .150 batting in front of him for a lot of that time period. Yeah, his wOBA with RISP this year is 300. He's had plenty of opportunities. He's been abysmal.

    Just gonna throw this out there Bryant has 74 RBI over the last calendar year of regular season baseball
  5. We Got The Whole 9
    Probably not a popular opinion but I agree
  6. We Got The Whole 9
    Fire the horsefeathering morons directing this game
  7. We Got The Whole 9
    I'm too lazy to look it up, but there can't be many games with a full healthy lineup + Happ. Should probably be using Happ vs RHP at 2B
  8. We Got The Whole 9
    Yeah Hedges has been an unmitigated disaster
  9. We Got The Whole 9
    Tseng with another dominant start
  10. We Got The Whole 9
    Hatch gave up a HR in the 1st and only inning so far
  11. We Got The Whole 9
    Anthony Gose trying to get back to the Majors, but as a pitcher. 100 mph from the LH side.
  12. We Got The Whole 9
    Schwarber blooped a single to CF his last AB
  13. We Got The Whole 9
    The Cardinals kind of beat his ass a couple times and skewed the stats some
  14. We Got The Whole 9
    Not bad. He says he wants to work the middle of the field and he certainly tried doing that.
  15. We Got The Whole 9
    He kind of dominated the Braves 6 IP 4:0 KBB 9:2 GO/FO 0 ER
  16. We Got The Whole 9
    Agreed

    Cease was the story. Struck out Vlad Jr and Bichette on 7 pitches. https://www.milb.com/milb/news/chicago-cubs-dylan-cease-pitches-five-shutout-innings/c-239750130/t-185364810 Started reading more headlines on milb.com and they have articles for Dewees and Villenueva so I checked out their stats. Dewees has struck out in just 12% of his 300 PA (110 wRC+) in AA and Villenueva has found some power at El Paso (granted, hitters haven) with 15 HR in 200 PA and 7 in his last 10 games. I know, random. I like to see what former Cubs are up to.

    Ah, last year. Feels like ages ago.
  19. We Got The Whole 9
    I heard Ice Cube had the T-Mobile Arena booked for his 3-on-3 tourney on this same date and now is gonna make a few mil just to let them have it for the fight
  20. We Got The Whole 9
    Not only is he helpless vs sliders but he swings at everything and gets himself out on crappy pitches
  21. We Got The Whole 9
    April and June they hit 250 but they hit 215 in May and pretty much sunk the season line to depths very hard to climb out of. If they hit 250 all year they're right around the middle of the pack.
