That is why catchers should not play right field. Maddon outhinks himself again

Maybe putting the gold glove RF into RF with a one run lead and one inning to go would be a good idea!!!!!!!

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.
I completely agree with this. This was a Theo man crush and he wouldnt let him go.

I think the thing that befuddles me the most is how much of the team from 2015 and 2016 has regressed to now. Like how is it possible that many guys have simply gotten way worse as they are entering their physical prime?

Maddon needs to fucking go. Themed airplane rides don't win ballgames. But fucking stupid ass decisions like leaving Contreras in right field when you have a gold glove outfielder sitting on the bench sure do lose games.

They cant get out of their way. Good news. Whole division is like that. They need the all star break so bad. How in the actual **** does that happen. Walk. Bloop Double where Heyward should have been in right. Russell with woman beating on his mind. Ball game. Un fucking believable

Another concerning sign is Kimbrel facing the 7-8-9-1-2 throws 18 pitches and gets I believe one swing and miss.

Kimbrel did his job. He got three balls that were outs.
