Cubs finish the year with only 1 game fewer than Baltimore of 0 or 1 run scored. Need a new hitting coach this offseason.
It's not the hitting coach, it's the hitters. Chili Davis was new this year and we saw much of the same tendencies as the prior years. Need more maturity out of the guys.
Yeah, that's what happens when Bryant misses much of the year. He alone would have made up most of that.
The only difference from last year to this year is power. Bryant has been injured and Willson's power has evaporated. Not to mention, as a side note, Schwarber has been pretty awful this year.
With as many injuries as the club had this year and how bad we hit the ball at times I'd say they did pretty damn good to end up 95-67. If we had a healthy Darvish, Marrow, Strop, Bryant for most of the year they probably win around 100 some games and today doesn't happen.
No the change in approach did that. There have been numerous quotes from our players talking about the adjustments.
So Machado or Harper who would you guys prefer? I’m hoping we go after Machado now that it appears Russell is likely gone for good.
Heyward instead of Schwarber there was stupid. So was pulling Lester early. I don’t care that he was due to lead of. Doesn’t matter though our offense is incompetent anyway.
Nope. Schwarber has had the worst season in regards to high leverage at bats. 2 hits (singles) in 56 at bats. No way you go with him there
Yep oh well at least we won't have to watch them only score 4 runs in the NLDS and lose to the brewers
Have the cubs even hit a ball to the warning track tonight? It’s not like we aren’t scoring, we aren’t even threatening at all
