Like I said, no matter where he hits, his spot will come up with guys on base because they'll pitch around the better/hotter hitters in front of him.
-
You all are funny with the lineups.. They can bat Suzuki 4th or 5th and all that gonna do is have 5 or 6 through 9 be a coin toss of hitters. The weak/slumping bat will find it way to the plate no matter what, you kinda gotta break up the better hitters when 2/3 of them aren't exactly doing much. Hoerner, Bellinger, and Suzuki can't bat 2-4 and then have a bunch of coin tossed/ slumping bats to follow
-
I bet they trade him this offseason
-
Someone gotta hit there, they all can't bat 1-3 🤷♂️
-
Send him and Canario back to Iowa so they can win the Championship there
-
Cubs have 7 runs with Steele on mound, youd think an easy W...
-
Kerry wood game Sosa 66 Homeruns Cubs had chance but passed on Randy Johnson and the Astros got him and ran away with the Division Rod Beck Pitching on fumes in September
-
This is kinda reminding me of 1998.. Good offense, a couple of good young SP, a tremendously overworked bullpen, struggled the last 2 weeks of season and ended up playing a game 163 to make the WC, and then got whooped by Atlanta because the bullpen was on fumes.
-
And give up 5 runs
-
I think this is something Ross has taken from Maddon playbook, when a player slumping bat him at the top of lineup.
-
That not luck, those wins happened on pure skill the cubbies way 😏😏😏
-
Good news is Canairo in the lineup, bad news, Wisdom playing first and Morel playing 3B..lol
-
Well, I guess if the Braves sweep them and the Cubs sweep the Pirates, cubs will just be 1 back of the Phillies and a team they could move ahead of whether it for the 4th, 5th, or 6th WC spot. Both are actually possible, plus if the Braves can win as many games possible this week, then more chance they wrap up home field throughout and rest players against the cubs next week. That why you should root from Braves to win 🤷♂️
-
Hopefully Braves can help out and beat the Phillies this week
-
I didn't notice one made or anywhere else to post this, Cubs changed up their rotation because of off latest days, I wonder too of Stroman will be taking Taillon spot in rotation against the Rockies this weekend.
-
Agree, it cool that they had a great run after the break and got over 500, but in reality this roster wasn't built to really compete and make a successful playoff run. We saw a couple players get very hot with the bats in July and August that have cooled off in September, and noone else has really picked them up accept Suzuki (one guy can't do it alone). They still may win 84-85 games if they beat up the Pirates and Rockies at home and who knows what the Braves and Brewers will do with regulars if their playoff situation is set, so there a shot at grabbing a couple extra Ws there, so the playoffs are still in their view, I just dont expect them to have much success once there is why winning or losing these games now don't faze me much, I was rooting for them to win the Division but that don't look like it happening now. I'm more looking forward to the offseason seeing if Hoyer is allowed to really spend and add the needed upgrades to this roster then I am to seeing them play any playoff games and likely get their asses kicked.
-
Yep, it time to shake it up now and see if someone different can provide a spark.. Only thing is CF and 3B are their only openings to do so and what they got for 3B, none of them are new on the current roster. Me, id bring up Slaughter, Mervis, and or Bote and let them DH or play 1B/3B and IL/drop Mastrobuoni, and Wisdom . Start PCA in CF
-
Yea, someone mentioned about them doing a 6 and 9 scenario to finish the season and how the other wouldn't be able to win 8 or 9 to pass them. It only took 3 games into that scenario for 1 to pass them, another to tie them, and a third to be a half game behind them..lol
-
It not necessarily change that they need this offseason, it upgrades that they've always needed. The majority of this roster have always needed to be upgraded, and outside of a few with the position players and a few with the pitchers, they dont have any must keep guys on this roster. So, if they do it right and actually try to put together a true contending roster, then the change should be to most of this roster.
-
Ok, now I can go watch my recordings.. I'll check back for that fake 9th inning rally when the tying run comes to the plate..lol It officially became a sad sports day watching the bears and cubs play today
-
Different players same looking offense in September for this cubs team, they just go south once September begins.
-
Wick recovered pretty good after that first inning, and mostly not his fault.
-
Lmao.. or not
-
This is their big opportunity to put up a solid crooked number, bases loaded no outs
-
Marlins are likely gonna be that surprise team we see in the playoffs that pulls off the early upsets to move on.
