I don't really care how well they are running the bases comparative to the rest of the league when they're getting on base 29% of the time and score 45 runs over 13 games, which btw, puts them at 26th in runs scored over that stretch.
-
I get it, but he said the offense has picked up the slack and it most certainly has not.
-
No, they haven't picked up the slack, the pitching has. Just be honest about horsefeathers. They have the 23rd ranked offense over the last 2 weeks. They have pitched to a 1.92 ERA, the best in the league.

To be fair, it hasn't just been those pitchers holding them down. They scored 9 runs against the Rockies, and there's been several other games where they've scored less than 2 runs. Since the start of the Rockies series they have hit 226/292/364/86. And in the 4 series vs .500 teams which have generated the most angst, they've been held to 2 or less runs 5 times in 13 games. They are showing signs that fans have seen a lot of over the last few seasons. It shouldn't surprise anyone that fans are concerned things have taken a turn for the worse. In this span Dansby has a 1 wRC+ in 54 PA, Nico has a 52 in 51 PA. The Catcher position has been negative. The rest of the offense has not been able to pick up the slack, unfortunately. Those 3 positions are horsefeathers killing us. If I were Jed I would be a little nervous. I'd be running through the various configurations for how to possibly get Long into the lineup, see if he can provide a spark. It's annoying as hell that as soon as the 3B position settled, the MIF completely fell apart and catchers have given us worse than 2024 production, to boot.

Well so much for Palencia's OBA. Great job of executing by the Phillies. The Cubs are not hitting the way they should be as they enter this gauntlet and they could very well lose the lead they've built up by the time they face STL.
-
Smart bunt by the Phillies
-
Yay we are tied already
-
God he sucks
-
Dansby needs to get this horsefeathers run in. He can't be so putrid with RISP.
-
There we go Pete
-
Stay in your horsefeathers approach man, what was that
-
I dont know why more road teams dont just walk the first batter and set up a force play.
-
Phew that was a great pick by Shaw. That easily could have ended the game.
-
Great play by Shaw
-
Yeah that was terrible. I hate when hitters make horrible swing decisions in advantageous counts.
-
horsefeathers horsefeathers. That was horsefeathers.
-
How the horsefeathers do you swing at that on a 2-1. Come on man, be smarter.
-
He's out. Reverse this horsefeathers.
-
Yes, Happ! Now score another, please.
-
The pitching has been lights out for the most part. The offense has just been ass more often than not.
-
The offense hasn't done damage vs a good pitcher since like April. They look pretty susceptible lately.
-
Score some horsefeathers runs man, this is annoying.
-
Haven't been watching this one but it looks like PCA hit another deep warning track shot on a 98 heater at the top of the zone

Minor League Musings
We Got The Whole 9 replied to Little Slide Rooter's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
In Clemens' chat a few minutes ago Lots of catcher talk, but does Alejandro Kirk not get the respect he deserves because he's short and fat? Ben Clemens 2:39 Yes 2:40 Presumably as a long-time reader you'd consider me a Kirk truther, I've certainly always been higher than consensus on him Kevin Goldstein told me the 'if you didn't know what Kirk looked like you'd like him much more' thing in the year where we did the trade value list together, and that really opened my e yes 2:41 has me liking Moises Ballesteros too! -
It sure has not graded well so far, so it's interesting to see the results have been nothing less than extraordinary.
