The Cubs ARE definately the team to beat!

On batting it seems like they are so intent on racking up the opposing pitcher pitch count they are often times against good pitchers going down in the count. Running up pitch counts it's great but against good pitching you need to mix in first pitch strike swingingAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03163503840649447500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4884680044445124885.post-30670695314333161812016-09-12T12:53:31.910-05:002016-09-12T12:53:31.910-05:00I'm more worried about how our bats go silent ...I'm more worried about how our bats go silent when we face a great pitcherAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4884680044445124885.post-26219388544085427502016-09-12T10:01:55.844-05:002016-09-12T10:01:55.844-05:00Jake doesn't seem to have the same stamina as ...Jake doesn't seem to have the same stamina as usual. He's good for 5 or 6 innings then loses it. As long as Maddon pulls him before he starts to try and push it, we'll be ok. If he lets him continue on...not good. I personally think he's hiding an injury and thinks he can play through it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00427441936885807250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4884680044445124885.post-10701310780483356712016-09-12T06:58:44.897-05:002016-09-12T06:58:44.897-05:00In his defense, Arrieta was playing while sick las...In his defense, Arrieta was playing while sick last night and was solid until the 6th.
