Baez is making Bryant look unstoppable.

For as good as Baez was to get us here man he has sure been just as terrible now that we are here. Just wow. This team just doesn't have it. I mean if HEYWARD is hitting you would have thought that would HEAVILY increase our odds. The guy has been the whipping boy all year. Now all the stars are just looking dumb and they just can't put it together.

Baez is a superstar. If you can't see it after 15 AB in the NLDS, then you're an idiot. [looks at Soler's 2016 stats].

The old adage is true. Good pitching beats good hitting. Unfortunately the hitting for the Cubs has been bad almost all post season. Outside of the Montero grand slam, I can't think of a clutch at bat.

At least he's snapping out of it while everyone else goes into a funk.

Still waiting to hear from the moron who wanted to move baez to the 4th spot and drop zobrist to the 9th spot

Baez had been mostly awful all year vs rhp....hit ba and obp are terrible.....he got hot for a few games (mostly vs lhp) but hashould reverted back to 2014/15 baez....an easy out vs rhp low and away slideers and high fastballs...3;pitches usually ends it vs him

When that game is managed as an exhibition/ trying to get all of the players some playtime and not over use a pitcher, didn't matter how many Cubs players were there.
Dumbest rule in sports.

Javy needs to grab some bench if that's what he's gonna continue to do every at bat.

Awfully quick with that praise. He was good in the NLCS. He's been positively awful in the WS

Until Baez learns to take walks and get in to a hitters count; he's prone to high/low like the playoffs have been for him.

Such a bad AB... CMON

I honestly wonder how Maddon approaches dealing with guys that are just looking terrible at the plate. Do you let the guy have it? Do you constructively criticize him? How do you even deal with nonsense like that?

To the point of seeing Baez's AB's move Zobie to 2nd, Contreras to left and Montero to C...... SHake this shit up, cause what's happening isnt working... Maybe Baez wakes the **** up and realize he just cant swing away at every pitch.

He's a phenomenal defender and very promising young player but until he gets it together at the plate he's seriously gonna cause us all to pull our hair out.

As is the adage you only show up in the Cubs board when the Cubs are losing....Dick
