@SamOlbur I repeat what I said Friday that when Cubs come to the realization like everyone else that everyone slumping at once is a result of a broken hitting lab that needs overhaul and not random luck, these streaks of being worst team in baseball followed by one of best will continue.

[Aaron (Ari) Shifron @ashifron]

@SamOlbur Maybe the Cubs need to look at their hitting lab and figure out why power hitters balls are dying at track against avg pitching and look at fixing swings. Not as a variable of baseball as they do.

@CCbabygoat This is on Amber Cox in the front office for not verifying fit. Kudos to Stephanie White for keeping Billings on bench the entire 4th quarter and doing what worked despite the contract. Its no fault of Billings who would be a solid contributor elsewhere in right system.

[Aaron (Ari) Shifron @ashifron]

@CCbabygoat It’s not that she is a bad player. It’s just she is a bad fit with Aliyah Boston and doesn’t spread the floor like you need and is essentially a duplicate skill set. We saw last night when they played Hull and Cunningham with Big 3 things worked and spread nicely.

@kkr_sap @SamOlbur They have tried several hitting coaches and nothing has changed. It’s the hitting lab, philosophy, mentality, and attitude that causes this and treats everyone slumping at once as part of baseball. Thats the bottom line.

[Aaron (Ari) Shifron @ashifron]

@JesseRogersESPN When the Cubs start treating everyone slumping at once as a crisis like every other organization and not part of baseball’s normal up and downs things will change. Until then, fans frustration will rightfully continue and team will be maddeningly inconsistent. Thats bottom line.

[Aaron (Ari) Shifron @ashifron]

@SamOlbur When the Cubs are ready to acknowledge their hitting lab is broken then we will see change. As long as they treat these high variables of red hot and ice cold hitting as acceptable, the status quo of extreme winning and losing streaks will continue.

[Aaron (Ari) Shifron @ashifron]

@Hoosier_Huddle Agreed completely!

[Aaron (Ari) Shifron @ashifron]

@Hoosier_Huddle You are welcome. What do you think of my piece? I can tell with your podcast, you guys have deep knowledge of all the sports and I commend that as someone who tries to shine the light on all of them as well for Assembly Call!

@ian_plaskoff @insidethehall Congrats, thats exciting. We’re indirectly on the same team now through Six Banner Sunday.

[Aaron (Ari) Shifron @ashifron]

@SamOlbur It’s that Cubs organizationally have decided for years that everyone hitting and slumping at same time is an acceptable outcome. Hence you see the feast and famine stretches. It’s really easy to diagnose and will continue as long as organization treats it as acceptable variable.

[Aaron (Ari) Shifron @ashifron]

@SamOlbur It’s also treating an entire offense that thrives and slumps at once as an acceptable and variable metric as OK. Other things are a problem also but this is number one issue that makes team so frustrating, not $$$ spent.

[Aaron (Ari) Shifron @ashifron]

@iugradtwotimes Totally fair take. I am just presenting the facts. Its up to IU and fans to decide if current model is acceptable.

@IndianaSB Program was a train wreck till she showed up. Embrace the culture Shonda has created that leads to a lot of wins and high scores with occasional losses. Not every program can be a super power. Solid is great and don’t show up for postseason and complain when culture is working.

[Aaron (Ari) Shifron @ashifron]

@IndianaSB Welcome to the Shonda Stanton culture and I mean this as a positive. UVA has more money and resources and IU uses power ball and base stealing that can lead to upsets and high scoring losses. Players have a blast in dugout, team makes postseason every year and takes best shot.

@Cabbyfromgreene They are still going for 5-6 times price they cost in season ticket package.
