  1. Okay, then pull up how many times Ian has bunted in his entire career as a Cub and lets re-discuss
  2. Yeah it's not like they didn't lay down a successful bunt in the world series that year, lmao. Are you really suggesting that there have been 0 successful bunts in the last 9 years? 😂
  3. Bunting is not bad baseball, there is a reason it's been done for 100+ years. The '16 Cubs did squeeze bunts and had massive success, if I recall Jason Heyward (fresh off his massive contract) bunted in the 8th or 9th inning against the Giants in that last game (although he didn't execute it properly, he was a bum) A bad result doesn't justify a bad process. Ian Happ doesn't bunt because he's a veteran player who thinks it's above him.. and that's where the criticism comes in
  4. This is the best game in a while from Swanson. His presence has been felt
  5. Yes, he's been hurt a lot this year. His stats as a 21 year old rookie last year are better than Happ's best season. He's a way, way better player. That isn't even an insult to Happ. Merrill is an up and coming star And in any event, if you think they are the "same" player, then one of them shouldn't be so selfish as to not play winning baseball and do the little things needed to win
  6. It was still the right thing to do though even if it didn't work out. Jackson Merrill is 3x the player Happ is and he laid down a bunt just a few innings before, it's time to play winning baseball
  7. Sorry to be the old man, but Ian should lay down a bunt. This 3rd run is huge
  8. LFGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
  9. huge that Boyd kept them to 1 run instead of more that inning
  10. I have no horsefeathers confidence in this team. Most underwhelming 90+ win team ever
  11. I've been calling it all year long that the Mets will miss the playoffs. I'm going to enjoy that prediction as I'm wrong on most other ones.. lol Hopefully the Cubs can make it to the NLDS and get a crack at Milwaukee. IMO, they are beatable right now.
