VIDEO: Compilation of Addison Russell's Bone-Headed Mistakes Against Padres is Concerning
By Mark Powell
Joe Maddon already said it. Cubs fans already know it. Addison Russell's been in quite the funk, and considering he's been an off-field liability for the past year-plus, Chicago needs more consistency from their infielder on the diamond. Instead, they've received the opposite, and it all came to a head on Saturday against the San Diego Padres.

Yeah, a long five innings is an understatement.
Russell proved to be a liability in every facet of the game on Saturday, making errors in the field, at the plate and on the basepaths. It's simply unacceptable from the 25-year-old, who will hopefully take this as yet another lesson.
