What’s the record for getting guys thrown out at home?

How many times have we heard the cliché that teams that are not fundamentally sound have poor coaching. Clichés are clichés because they are usually true. The Cubs are a fundamentally unsound team.

Is the honeymoon period over for Counsell yet? It should be.

I didn’t think the five-hop throw from Suzuki helped either.

I would say…this team is falling apart. Crumbling.

All of 4 hits today, and Hendricks still bad.

And of course no hits and 9 Ks through four innings.

Wisdom sure has been a pleasant surprise in spot duty.

Glad they won yesterday but three errors and Horner was out by a mile at home and the catcher dropped the ball. The fielding and base running has not been good. They aren’t a fundamentally sound team at this point.

Swanson is another guy who has been brutal.

only one hit today. Happ slugging at .302

I don't know, I did admire White but those last two seasons were pretty bad.

Other than watching Payton run, those late 70's Bear offenses were brutal. For kicks I looked up Avellini's stats-he actually led the league in game winning drives with 4 in 1977. Probably a lot of handoffs to Payton.

Happ hitting only .216 with one homer through 30 games.

Also best adult film moniker in the big leagues.
