The Cubs were really really bad at hitting for long stretches of the playoffs last year too (including two games against LA) so I'm not counting them out by any means, but the bullpen sucks real bad this year so it's gonna be tougher even if the bats get going

poo poo Cubs hitting was tied for the last out in the 9th. Closer then it should have been. Cubs have a shot. gently caress the Yankees

Approach just feels different this year. They were patient last year, took their walks, worked counts. Once the bullpen comes in they just swing at anything. Amazing stat I saw was the Dodgers bullpen going into the 9th had thrown 66 pitches to retire 21 straight batters of the Cubs. Not sure if they can fix it since some are regulars but maybe guys like Baez should not be playing in these big games.
