This has become a refrain. -
They will probably make the playoffs. I have never been less excited about the Cubs being in the playoffs. This 2nd half has been.....well.
-
Team leader though. Great clubhouse guy. Just a lousy hitter.
-
The percentile of the whiff rate vs walk rate and the rate of suckiness / square root of Suzuki's birthday X3 says that all is well and the Cubs hitters are all fine. Hang in there.
-
If we get within 3-4 games of the division it likely means that we will definitely be ok with the wildcard and make the playoffs. I'm good with that. Just avoid the epic collapse.
-
Epic?
-
Tucker hand....what in the flying horsefeathers?
-
3 game win streak seemed unattainable a few days ago.
-
Never a doubt.
-
Hitters need to play for the walk. It's the main way we get on base at this point.
-
He might need it worse than Tucker. Lost.
-
Makes sense. Hopefully, it happens.
-
And you didn't want Cassie up (from Iowa) in the first place. He's provided a mild boost.
-
Which did not happen. The analytics get to be a bit much at times. Go with the hot hand and adrenaline.

And he grounds out weakly to the pitcher. Please.
-
Maybe I saw another miserable ground ball that was going nowhere (there have been so many lately). On the one I saw yesterday against the Brewers I did not see any bobble.
-
It was a fairly hard hit ball which the first baseman had immediately. Tucker would have looked like a fool running that all the way out and it would have made zero difference. I think the booing was for his overall weak hitting lately. Much ado about nothing.

And the horsefeathers team has been the hole.
-
Look at all those 0's. Tucker is just one part of a massive problem.
-
If the hitters don't start getting more than 2-3-4 hits a game and 0-1-2-3 runs a game, the pitching is not going to matter.
-
Unfortunately he is only 1/4 or 1/5 of the problem. But they need to try something.
-
Agreed. But if this collapse continues and we miss the playoffs, it will be a very ugly (albeit interesting) September and who knows what will come of it. I would expect someone on that team to start popping off and pointing fingers. It has to be very uncomfortable to be in that locker room at the moment.
-
Quite a statement today. 2 hits and 1 error in a 7-0 shutout. Wowza.

He has a lot of guaranteed $$$ right? How much would the owners have to eat? The amount is probably too much given he is only in his 2nd year, but it sure seems like we overpaid.
