Wasn’t that shrimp known for rarely K’ing? Him and Simmons need to go away fast.

It’s like these morons don’t pay attention to the game. Hey, let’s try throwing a fastball over the outside corner to this guy. He gets a hit. Next at bat. Hey, let’s try throwing a fastball over the outside corner to this guy. Rinse. Repeat…

Ethan Roberts was a nice feel good story. But he sucks and needs to go to AAA now.

Get rid of Contreras while he still has some value.

I remember when we used to hit dongs. Now it’s nothing but dp’s :bye:

Nice clutch hit for once :wink:

This bullpen. Geez. I hope it lasts.

Sums up the Cubs offensive strategy: they have none.

I don’t need numbers. Results tell me all I need to know.

Dumb would be thinking 1 season cancels out the other 4 where they showed their true tendencies. 2016 was out of the ordinary. I’ll rely on 2015, 2017, 2018, and 2019 to make decisions on who stays and who goes. But go ahead and keep thinking that the same guys will magically be able to hit when it counts :roll: You mean like two of those seasons they made the NLCS, won a WC game, won a division, led MLB in wins, won a Game 5 on the road in the DS and were the best second half team in baseball for a good chunk of those years? Failed miserably against the Mets who the Royals handled. Failed miserably against the Dodgers who the Astros didn’t have a problem hitting. Not to mention the miserable failures against the Brewers pitching the last 2 seasons. But if you are too blind to see this team can’t hit good pitching and inflates their numbers against trash pitching, I can’t help you.

How come you didn’t post highlights against the Mets in the NLCS, idiot?

Playing with no pressure is easier for a group of un-clutch chokers. That’s why I hope most of these guys are gone next season. We need guys who don’t shrivel up in the clutch. Look, 99% of "clutch" arguments are dumb, but this one is pretty amazingly dumb because you are talking about a group of players that came back from down 3-1 in the World Series to win one of the most epic game 7s of all time.

That Rizzo at bat is what defines this offense the last 2 years. #3 hitter. 3-1 count. Man on 3rd. Less than 2 outs. FAILS to get the run in. And that is why this team, as currently constructed, will never be a consistently dominant team like the Astros and Dodgers.
