08/29 CUBS (Lester) @ Los Angeles (Latos) 8:10 CDT, WGN TV

[Guest]

not blaming these SBs are montero, but when's the last time he didn't bounce a ball to 2nd?

 

That one was 100% on him. Slow release and bad, bad throw.

[Guest]

Peraza was halfway to first when he pulled that back

[Schwarber Fan]

It's great that Lester can throw 6+ solid innings and all, but if there's anyone that thinks teams taking free bases on him isn't going to be a huge problem in the playoffs, they're delusional.

[ARCubsFan]

Well this one looks over

[Schwarber Fan]

4 losses in a row :(

[Guest]

three straight opposite field hits, obnoxious

It's a [expletive] tie game you idiots.

[SpongeWorthy]

Why catch so much plate in pitchers counts to these bum hitters

[NotSoSober]

Nope

[Little Slide Rooter]

I really thought they'd stop the bleeding tonight. Oh well, hopefully our new besties, the Cardinals can play Band-Aid again tomorrow.

I swear I will ban you from game threads forever if you don't knock it off with this.

[Tryptamine]

Arrieta has better save this team tomorrow, otherwise this could end up being a long stumble.

[UMFan83]

I left for 5 mins and we gave up 3 runs?

 

Better be a stopper tomorrow Jake if we can't come back

[Guest]

a slumping offense and rotation at the same time is no fun. turn it around, cubs

This is painfully true. It's mind boggling how a pitcher so good can have such an Achilles heel.

He gave up one stolen base this inning(that was 100% on Montero), and that runner still required 2 singles to score.

Why's it obnoxious? Lester's been living on the outer half the plate all inning and guys are going with the pitch. His First Base Yips and the fact that it's so widely known and easily exploitable is a killer.

[UMFan83]

offense is the bigger reason for the losing streak. We should be up big in this one considering the caliber of pitchers we faced tonight so far. 6 runs in 4 games isn't going to cut it.

[Ski]

Welcome back, Cubs of early July.

 

Christ, can we earn more than one run off of Mat [expletive] Latos? (The balked run doesn't count).

[Little Slide Rooter]

I'm not sure getting shut down by two of the best pitchers in the game back-to-back counts as a slumping offense. What's no fun is these [expletive] West Coast trips.

[UMFan83]

Sucks that if we don't win tonight we will have lost the absolute maximum number of games over the last 4 days to the 3 teams we care about. 4 to the Pirates and 3 each to the Giants and Cardinals.

Yeah but getting shut down by Peavy and Latos isn't all that good

[SpongeWorthy]

Arghhhhhh
