I hope you do. You could out throw him.... with both arms tied behind your back
He can still swing it, for a decent bat off the bench. That's about it
And I mean....he wasn't wrong with what he said. Arrieta makes Lester look like the greatest pitcher ever at holding runners on base. But, you just can't say what he said to the press

He's got 1. Don't sell him short!!!!
But yeah, he's terrible. Really fell off on defense
I'd say the frustration on the Cubs is building and now they've lost a big gun with an ankle injury. They know they should be running away with this division but here we are near the end of June and the Brewers are still at the top. As bad as the Cardinals have been they started the day only 3 1/2 games out.

Good to remember this occasionally. Birds could easily be the Giants. Man, they are awful! Or the Braves. All of that offense and defense, and I think one of us might be able to get a start in their rotation. Holy smokes, their SP is just brutal.
So why are the Cubs this bad? Everybody complains about the Cardinals being bad but they are hanging around with the teams in THIS division. Keep it that way and jump up and bite em in September and you're in the playoffs. We all know anything can happen if you just get there because we've seen them do it. We've also seen the team that won 100+ get their brains beat out in the WS. I'm not predicting they will do this but they are far from being out of it half way through the season.
Biggest thing, to me, is the starting pitching falling off a cliff - all four of Lester, Hendricks, Lackey, and Arrieta are not the same guys they were last year
Outfield hasn't been great, either - Schwarber in the minors, Zobrist missing games, J Hey still looking like bad J Hey, Soler is gone, etc.
Yeah when your little lefty hitting utility player comes up with the longest HR in all of baseball, when he hit it, there is something going on with the ball. Everybody should try to get it in the air these days.
