Cubs AWFUL in later innings

The Cubs are the worst team in National League when played in the 7th inning and later.  Their stats are just putrid and it could be a sign of things to come unfortunately.  The rankings are for NL only with the Cubs ranking first, what they've done in that category and the NL average.  There are 16 teams in the NL

 

Runs Scored- 16th, 127, 156

Doubles-16th, 42, 58

RBI-16th, 116, 142

AVG-15th, .231, .250

OBP-16th, .308, .329

OPS-15th, .682, .716

I think he means

The extra innings one were Werth hit the 3 run homer to win it.

I can't

Co-workers plastered on my desk the next day “You’re not Werthy”. Got too many Phillies fans near me.

Thanks for spending the time to look up the stats

but I have a feeling most of us know this from watching the damn games. Well at least no one can say we are
imagining it or always thinking the worst.

And yet

They’re still in the thick of the race. Go figure.

MILTON BRADLEY FOR ANDRE ETHIER

IT WAS ALREADY DONE THOOO

He can throw a fastball at 87MPH and make you look like a fool. He can spray lines drives to right field. He can put up with crappy offense and take the loss. He is Randy Wells. He is the most interesting pitcher in the world. Stay healthy, my friends.

I wouldn't mind a freebie look at

Justin Speier. Hasn’t been as bad as his ERA. Sports a healthy K rate and decent BB rate, and maybe the senior circuit will give him some juice. Can’t hurt … right.
