5 Chicago Cubs players the fanbase is losing patience with during the first half

3. Patrick Wisdom

After turning in a historic first month in April with 10 home runs, Patrick Wisdom has truly been one of the worst hitters in the league over the last two months. Among all qualified hitters in Major League Baseball this season, Wisdom ranks 10th worst in on-base percentage (.288), 7th worst in batting average (.198), and worst in strikeout percentage (38.3%). Despite these abysmal numbers, David Ross has been starting Patrick Wisdom at third base nearly every day and everyone seems a little tired of watching him strike out.

Perhaps most concerning is Wisdom's inability to hit left-handed pitching which is something he used to have success with in the past. If he was hitting lefties there would be more reason to start Wisdom every day, but with the offense struggling, I would rather see Christopher Morel or Nick Madrigal (I can't believe I am saying Madrigal) start at the hot corner. Wisdom is a 32-year-old guy who either hits a home run or strikes out in an embarrassing fashion. I think it may be time to move on from his services.
