Welp, only one at bat. But, looking at his stats. He is either going to run into them or miss them
tough AB for Garcia. 2 outs, he was looking to yard it.

Now who was that smart man who suggested Contreras and his arm be put in the OF?

Single, double, single and no runs.

Nice to be on the defensive side of that!

he had a diving catch that he wouldnt of had to dive for if he had more work at RF but other than that, pretty low key night out there for him.

Well I really like both of them out there at the same time

Baez needs to be on second there. He crushed that, but was a liner. No excuse there.

I dont buy the passion and the hunger with this Cubs team. Its a marathon and not a sprint. Once you get to the playoffs, shit needs to be tight. This is the dog days of summer and I dont expect the Cubs to win every game.
I also think that the entire division is knocking at the door. They all want to knock the cubs off the perch and they are all playing good baseball.
I still believe and try not to freak out with every step along the way.
All that said? This is the Yankees year. No one is touching what they have paid for.
I understand it’s a long season but they don’t need to dick around in the regular season again and miss the playoffs... I don’t count last year as
Making the playoffs losing in the wild card game even though technically it was a post season appearance. The central is so tight this year that each game is really meaningful, last year proved that even a game in July is a must

What? So, you dont count wild card teams that win the Series? They made it to the post season. Key word POST. Stop being a complete meatball. Be a partial.

It's quite simple that the Cubs need to upgrade the LF spot and the leadoff spot in one swoop. Kyle is simply not capable of being a consistent enough hitter to get himself on base. You simply cannot rely on walks to get you on. The organization's lovefest for him and his bat has really hurt the franchise in terms of moves they didn't make and moves they did.

Is it second guessing to ask why heyward would not go in for the ninth?

Is that fair after Contreras just gunned a guy down at home?

What is Kyle’s OBP?
