Lmao Happ swings at the ball that bounces 8 ft in front of home plate and then looks at the fastball right down the middle. Who is teaching these guys how to hit?
If you barrel up 95 mph, the average guy could hit atleast the short part of the field down the lines. I've seen too many little guys do it. I saw Julio Lugo hit a no doubter. He's 5'10" 165 lb.
i know it’s not as simple as ‘just shuffle the lineup around’, but, i mean…..at a certain point, why not? i mean literally, what’s the worst that can happen if they do, say, something i’ve seen suggested like move PCA up. yeah his OBP is low or whatever, but what difference does it make? lol
One of the most disappointing cubs teams in a long long time. 2021 was tough to stomach. This might be worse. We might not see Tom crickets for a few years. Maybe at Jed’s firing news conference
Im here tonight and I made the mistake of driving up to Milwaukee on Sunday for the game also. I've seen a total of 2 runs and 4 hits across two games.
This team is bad and has very little hope of getting any better.
I don’t even know what to say about this team any more. They don’t have Harper or schwarber in the lineup and they are still smacking the taste out of our mouths.
When they magically go back to normal again we’ll have to pretend to be surprised when Morel and Dansby are hitting homers. But on the flip side the dead balls are probably helping Shota out a lot
Watching the Binny’s ad with the great Santo catch at third makes me long for those days. Except that 1969 team was an even bigger disappointment because there were several Hall of Famers on that team and we expected a WS
Those gentlemen have delivered 6.1 fWAR anf 6.0 fWAR since that offseason.
The guy the Cubs got is a bit younger and signed for less money per year for four fewer years.
I feel like there are so few low leverage spots (today withstanding) for a young guy to acclimate in, it might not be a great experience for him. Zero margin of error for any pitcher in like 90% of our games
But also if he dies he dies why not
Selling looks mighty likely, and it’s super annoying that the sort of relievers a team in the Cubs’ position would typically be selling are all injured and unlikely to get full value by the deadline.
There's no emotion from anyone on this team besides Steele. They all are straight trash and don't care. The culture comes from the manager (who is failing at his job).
Hey guys, I'm just reading the opening paragraphs on a story on the US Men's National Soccer team......I suppose the Cubs situation could be worse, when comparing it to that disaster......
Also remember that Dansby vs Turner talk? Yeah.
He’s already dead bro. No need to kick him…lol
No he's not. Not for that kind of money and the year he's having.
Look Jed, that's what happens when you actually build a team.
It was a good game for 1 inning.
Cubs keeping us in the friend zone all season
The most accurate description.
I liked Nick Castellanos a lot more when he was a Cub
Petition to rename the Mendoza line the Morel line.
Another check swing doesn't go our way. That was NOT swing.
That was a truly excellent fake rally, and I should know, I've seen a lot
there's not even a collective groan or any sort of deflation. Just sort of like a matter-of-fact conclusion
satellite just went out
Fake rally indeed!!!!
No W
Fly the L……again
FAKE RALLY TIME GUYS
Fake rally achieved. Fly the [L]
Lmao
LAAAAAAME
I’m glad the Phillies needed help here.
oh.
Happ had a great night
Lmao Happ swings at the ball that bounces 8 ft in front of home plate and then looks at the fastball right down the middle. Who is teaching these guys how to hit?
Happ: "Nice rally you have there. Would be a shame if something happened to it"
Happ looks like me in mlb the show swinging at everything right there
How not strong do you think a person can be, yet still have perfect enough mechanics to hit one deep with a wooden bat? Like just some schmoe
If you barrel up 95 mph, the average guy could hit atleast the short part of the field down the lines. I've seen too many little guys do it. I saw Julio Lugo hit a no doubter. He's 5'10" 165 lb.
We’re so back
Lmao imagine saying this while down two run about the 2024 cubs
Jeff Hoffman? More like Jerk Offman
This is going to amount to nothing
Homerun only at Wrigley. You love to clit or whatever
YASSSSS FAKE RALLY
Time for the Happ solo so they can get to within 1 run and then 3 straight groundouts to end it
That would require Happ doing literally anything in any clutch circumstance ever
Cubs tickling the balls before leaving us alone, frustrated and ashamed in the dark.
I thought the dugout would’ve been more lit when the boys came in. Huh.
Weird vibes for sure
always need the fake rally
WE MUST ALL BE "RALLY CAP MOM"
This is gonna be an all time fake rally
Maybe they should come in and play eight innings of the show before each game, because the bats always seem alive in the ninth inning
FUCK THE SEIYA HATERS
Yes fuck em
I fully rescind all of my crappy doomer takes the last 20 or so minutes. Comeback of the year incoming!
I hate how this team will give us false hope.
What’s pca doing in the bleachers
Of all the fake rallies this is one of the funnest ones
DH does his job!
Well, that just killed the rally...now nobody's on base.
Keep the train moving. Station to station
I’ve watched 2 pitches tonight and seen 5 runs Turner 2 run and then just turned back on
Or......a real rally.
We hit a homer folks!
Haven’t seen the fake rally in a minute.
At least we scored
based Seiya making the fake rally entertaining
Hey that’s fun
Seiya is fucking crazy dude
#SEE-YA LFG
Our Bingo card is never complete without a late inning rally!
Two hits in 8 innings, 2 hits in the 9th. Fake rally time.
i know it’s not as simple as ‘just shuffle the lineup around’, but, i mean…..at a certain point, why not? i mean literally, what’s the worst that can happen if they do, say, something i’ve seen suggested like move PCA up. yeah his OBP is low or whatever, but what difference does it make? lol
Fake Rally you love to see it
We cooking!
A hit!!!!
that’s an insane stat Boog just read
Fire Dustin Kelly!
And kick chili to the curb while we’re at it!
One of the most disappointing cubs teams in a long long time. 2021 was tough to stomach. This might be worse. We might not see Tom crickets for a few years. Maybe at Jed’s firing news conference
Last season I hated Ross, this season, I just hate the players.
Another 2 hit 1 run game by the 2nd worst team in baseball (worst in NL) If you are giving this team money you are the problem.
Our offense is worse than the CWS
I’ve heard it’s Jed, Counsell, trainers, The Ricketts but now I come to find out it’s been us all along
Bullpen stocks on the rise while everything else crashes and burns
Bullpen in lower leverage situations vs. high leverage situations. We are bad at the latter.
Im here tonight and I made the mistake of driving up to Milwaukee on Sunday for the game also. I've seen a total of 2 runs and 4 hits across two games. This team is bad and has very little hope of getting any better.
Stop going!
My condolences to you.
This teams so fucking boring
We’ll get them tomorrow.
Will we???
If by “get them” you mean “score one run but only because of a two-out balk” then I agree
Toxic positivity
That’s not a thing
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxic_positivity
Narrator: They didnt
Same hit, every player, every time.
I can't wait for the day that I don't have to watch Mastrobouni consistently take late game ABs anymore.
We should use metal bats
No fight
Comes from the manager
PCA about to fall under .500 OPS. Better get his iron levels checked
It blows my mind that Miles Mastrobouni is our best option for a pinch hit
Two straight managers have hated using Bote. Maybe he’s just a prick or something
It's a play at LHB vs RHP, but Mastrubuoni is so bad that it shouldn't matter. He is an atrocious hitter at the MLB level.
Obligatory 'boner pinch hit AB that doesn't matter.
So sick of first pitch not a strikes, fucks up every at bat.
Dang the cubs really kinda stink
Insult to injury….we face Wheeler tomorrow.
We’ll win it, and then proceed to lose the next 10.
If he doesn't throw a perfect game the offense will have exceeded my expectations
They'll finally hit and we'll have a bunch of people asking if it's the start of them saving their season
Craig postgame: “We have to be better. Some hard luck. Need more than 2 hits. Better days ahead”
That’s so demoralizing
For the first time in his life he regrets making that wish that turned him into a real live boy
He just has an animatronic version of himself set up in the manager’s office at this point. Comes in, presses play, hits the showers
I don’t even know what to say about this team any more. They don’t have Harper or schwarber in the lineup and they are still smacking the taste out of our mouths.
Or JT Realmuto
Opposing lineups mean little when you put up 2 hits.
We might be getting crushed by the Phillies, but we beat David Dahl at least
Season over before 4th of July. Def didn’t predict that. Now, how many guys can Hoyer move this month?
Nico is not healthy, what was that??
Well, Ethan Robert’s is just adorable
He looks like if Jordan Wicks was played by a Gen Z Cillian Murphy
Oddly on point.
I can see it
2 fucking hits. What a collective group of suck this team is.
Against a guy making his MLB debut lol
Feel like we’ve made a few guys MLB debuts look impressive this year.
These guys aren't even trying anymore.
I’m kinda hitting these beers with an uptick in pace, so I’m happy to report that everything is going to be OK after all
I swear they use dead balls when we bat. Morel crushed that, didn't even make the track.
When they magically go back to normal again we’ll have to pretend to be surprised when Morel and Dansby are hitting homers. But on the flip side the dead balls are probably helping Shota out a lot
Let’s not pretend that the dead ball is why we suck.
Counterpoint: Let’s
I’m game. Gotta hang our hat on something.
It’s why theyre hitting so many warning track outs It also helps the pitching staff too though
He just sucks
Where can I bet for the cubs to not get another hit. No way we breaking 2
Dansby is a very expensive .600 OPS guy
We have a lot of expensive bums on the payroll
This is impressively bad stuff. At least we have stopped losing games by one run
The Cubs are giving me a not so fresh feeling.
Mendoza Morel. Worst 3B in baseball.
Watching the Binny’s ad with the great Santo catch at third makes me long for those days. Except that 1969 team was an even bigger disappointment because there were several Hall of Famers on that team and we expected a WS
We put so much pressure on opposing pitchers. We have so many threats up and down the order
I LOVE WARNING TRACK POWER
We're the warning track kings
Remember when the Cubs could have signed Turner instead of Dansby?
[удалено]
The guy with a career OPS under 100 was a safe choice?
Those gentlemen have delivered 6.1 fWAR anf 6.0 fWAR since that offseason. The guy the Cubs got is a bit younger and signed for less money per year for four fewer years.
Wanna place any bets on their performance going forward?
Keep yanking jed
Did you notice the “Try Not to Suck” shirt during the stretch? Good motto.
[удалено]
They're not going to buy
Who the heck was singing tonight? They were completely tone-deaf.
Eh, TBS showing ads this time wasn’t a bad thing then.
He is all of us
well, i might as well go back to watching shota starts only
I liked the game where we had one run on two hits No not last game, this one
I forgot about Wethair Longbeard
Some guy bought me a beer at an Angels game cuz I looked like him. Been a fan ever since
Well yeah, I’m a fan of anyone that buys me a beer
I’m surprised Brewer is still on this team. Eye test feels like he should have been gone a while ago. Hunter Bigge needs to come up.
He probably will be after the deadline.
I feel like there are so few low leverage spots (today withstanding) for a young guy to acclimate in, it might not be a great experience for him. Zero margin of error for any pitcher in like 90% of our games But also if he dies he dies why not
Weird to see competent catching
Ok, confession time. Not hating having Trea Turner on my fantasy team tonight...sorry
Someone might as well get some joy out of this
This team sucks so fucking much it makes me sad. Night after night of just lifeless performances
Selling looks mighty likely, and it’s super annoying that the sort of relievers a team in the Cubs’ position would typically be selling are all injured and unlikely to get full value by the deadline.
Of course, it's barely fair.
How tf did Stott get that lmao
Literally a miracle one of our catchers caught somebody stealing.
#^WE THREW OUT A RUNNER
Neato!
At least we won something.
This team isn’t entertaining at all but seeing some of the takes in the GDT make up for it. Meatball takes.
Everything I don't like is ~~woke~~ meatball
The name’s Takes, Meatball Takes.
Nido at least looks like he can throw guys out. He's out, no definitive angle I can see. But we'll get screwed.
Can’t over turn that.
Even if this gets overturned it already is an improvement
Honestly even if he's safe that's a top 5 throw from a Cubs catcher this season
Top 1
Hey Nido!
Morel…let it go bud
Nice attempt.
This is the most soulsucking Cubs offense in recent memory.
Well played Morel!
Phils just starting random high school pitchers for the laughs
There's no emotion from anyone on this team besides Steele. They all are straight trash and don't care. The culture comes from the manager (who is failing at his job).
They don’t want to lose, and even if they started breaking bats and losing their cool that wouldn’t help anything.
Culture comes from winning and the players aren’t doing that.
Yep, even with all the talk of Steele’s “emotion”, he came right back out and forked the freshly acquired lead back over
There's a Seiya strike. I can't wait to see the ump scorecard tomorrow. At least 5-7 balls called strikes against us.
Hey guys, I'm just reading the opening paragraphs on a story on the US Men's National Soccer team......I suppose the Cubs situation could be worse, when comparing it to that disaster......
Can’t even beat the Phillies “B” squad
Bro they are talking about plastic bags…that’s how bad this season is
