Over their last 7 games, Lee, Ramirez and Soto are hitting about .100 combined. Lee seems to kill every possible rally with a DP and Ramirez is 0 for his last 20 at bats. Brewers are red hot and Cubs need to turn this around asap or they will leave their series in Milwaukee next week in 2nd or even 3rd place.

Lee has been a consistently poor clutch hitter for most of his career. His average with 2 outs and RISP is about 30-40 points below his overall average. When you factor in the DP's he hits into, his performance looks even worse. Simply put, he's very unlikely to come up with a big hit when you need it versus many of the other top hitters in the league.

He's a good defensive 1st baseman and seems like a good guy but I have no confidence in him in a clutch situation.

most know im a white sox fan, so let me clarify that now
but, this cubs offense has been smoke and mirrors all year. to think that names like JIM EDMONDS, reed johnson, ronny cedeno, henry blanco, mike fontenot, etc. would continue to hit over .300 and drive in every run that seemed to be available to be driven in was a joke. now the law of averages is kicking in and these guys are coming back to reality.
another thing to look at is the unreal home/away splits this offense has. it is literally night and day. earlier in the year i joked around about the cubs cheating at home and what not, but now people on talk radio here are beginning to ask "is there something going on?" because good homecooking and sleeping in your own beds, as good as that sounds, those can't explain these astonishing figures...

cubs offense at wrigley
49 GP, .305 BA, .387 OBP, 308 RS, 506 H, 67 HR
cubs offense on the road
50 GP, .254 BA, .325 OBP, 210 RS, 455 H, 45 HR


In almost the IDENTICAL amount of games played (one more road game) they have a batting average 51 points lower, an on-base 62 points lower, 98 less runs scored, 51 less hits, and 22 less homers than they do at home. that's unreal.
