I hate reading comments like these from our GM just as much as anyone, but come on, what did you expect him to say when discussing Baker's future with the club? Also, it should be noted that he didn't say a word about Baker's future with the club after this season. That's encouraging.
I wonder how safe Baker's job will be if the Cubs lose another 8-10 games in a row? Dude, it's injuries and lack of timely hitting by our offense. We're just not getting the breaks and bounces. Dude.
Fred, I asked this yesterday but I'm not sure what your response was. The 57 baserunners, is that RISP only, or any baserunner? Always take me literally. "Baserunners" means..... baserunners; on any base. Thought so, but just wanted to be sure.
you are correct sir He has sucked with runners on base the whole damn year. We should just hope that he starts sac bunting every time he's up with a runner on.
Because Dusty loves giving away outs. Ok is there something wrong with moving a runner over to third base with no outs? It gave the cubs a run. Who knows if baker allowed hairston to swing away and he pops up in the infield then you have 1 out and pierre stuck on 2b still. Walker then grounds out 4-3 now you have 2 outs with pierre on third. Then Barrett flys out so now the score is 0-0 instead of 1-0. That is why Baker had Hairston bunting Yep. Bunting people over has worked well for us this year. How many runs have we scored again? How many sac bunts have there been this year? Ok how many clutch hits has Hairston had this year? NONE. Im not sure what is wrong with playing with a early lead. I guess you guys just want to the cubs to fail Ummmmm... what?
Hunter has a list of five teams that he can block a trade to. The Cubs are one of those teams, so you can forget about him ever signing with us. Thank God.
