5-9 of our players out there
are hitting above .250 including Harden. That is gonna need to get better or we arent gonna keep winning these games. Mainly Soto and Bradley need to get their acts together
"Every player should be accorded the privilege of at least one season with the Chicago Cubs. That's baseball as it should be played - in God's own sunshine. And that's really living."

Don't kid yourself...
with runners in scoring position, their BA as a team is .240
Cards = .327
But Soto could be possibly related to injury

Im happy we are winning
Just pointing out we arent really hitting all that well. Getting really well timed hits though and scrapping together a few runs to get us wins.
"Every player should be accorded the privilege of at least one season with the Chicago Cubs. That's baseball as it should be played - in God's own sunshine. And that's really living."
It's hard to ignore how low Soto's BA is
I could be almost president of his fan club, but I do wonder if it’s he just struggling or if there is some injury still lingering. If there is maybe give him a few more days off

No
Its a major in Applied Science and Technology with a focus in Industrial Computer Systems. Basically they want us to know the basics of all computer aspects then become managers of IT departments.

But he gets to tell me, the guy with 13+ years of Windows server experience, what to do.
