In theNLCS, Bryant is 3 for 16 with four strikeouts, and all three of his hits are singles.Rizzo has been worse: 1 for 13 with eight strikeouts. That's a combined .138 average and — more importantly — a .138 slugging percentage from the Cubs' two best hitters. Throw in the fact that, over the nine games of the postseason, Bryant andRizzo have combined for a .174 average and a .261 slugging percentage, and it seems unlikely that the Cubs are going to undergo an offensive transformation in time to pulverize the Dodgers. Consider: The Cubs won Wednesday, but they managed just five hits. Their on-base-plus-slugging percentage for the postseason is now .546. This season, 216 players had at least 400 plate appearances. None had an OPS within 50 points of that abyss.
