The Cubs have 2 bats on their entire roster...Lee and Ramirez. When they hit, they win. When they don't, they can't win. It is that simple.
The Cubs are 29-16 when Lee has an RBI and 34-15 when Ramirez drives in at least one run:
When Lee has at least one RBI: 29-16 (64.4%)
When Lee doesn't drive in a run: 27-44 (38.0%)
When Ramirez has at least one RBI: 34-15 (69.4%)
When Ramirez doesn't drive in a run: 22-45 (32.8%)
Throw any manager you want in that dugout...it won't matter. Until they add some offense to support these two, they are the only 2 players that matter.
The stats don't lie...
