9/28 Royals (Ventura) @ Cubs (Hendricks), 7:05, CSN

[Guest]

Time to walk it off, Cubs.

Also that game was the first time Miggy caught lester for an inning.

Offense is really bad lately. Ever since the wind stopped blowing out really.

 

The wind effect has been negligible the last 2 nights. There was only like 2-3 games this home stand where the wind was a significant factor against the hitters. They are just struggling right now. They will get it together before next week

It's concerning that the offense sucked the first 3 months with the wind blowing in, got hot with the wind blowing out, and is struggling again with the wind blowing in.

I forgot about Ross's bloop walkoff. That was like his offensive season highlight

[muntjack]

Now's the time to break this slump, Kyle.

[Schwarber Fan]

Schwarber is putting one on Sheffield to end this.

[Sammy Sofa]

Hey, Cubs:

 

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Schwarber is putting one on Sheffield to end this.

Look at you with your optimism!

Show your work. Because I recall about 5 games with the wind blowing out.

Those thoughts crossed my mind but I definitely think it was more about a bunch of rookies adjusting to the major league game than the weather. Weather probably had some effect but not enough to turn a good offense into [expletive] overnight.

And Rondon Fan was negatively conditioned there. The one time he's positive Schwarber strikes out. Back to complete and utterly unrelenting negativity

Well, he had the pitch to do it with. 90 MPH fastball on the inner half of the plate.

If only that's how it worked every game would end in scores like 43-39

lol the most Cardinals way of taking the lead ever

[Guest]

i feel like this game has had more of those than any game ever

[UMFan83]

Horrible luck with hard hit balls tonight

[weis21]

Cain's caught a lot of hard hit line drives, fly outs today.

[Ski]

[expletive] off, lineouts. The official scorer should award a single based off of solid contact.

lol the most Cardinals way of taking the lead ever

everyone else here is watching the cubs in the bottom of the 9th. please, tell us what happened.

[Gilby]

Polanco just did something that was nearly as embarrassing as his slip against the Cubs.

[ARCubsFan]

Cardinals win

runner on first, ground ball single to right center. Polanco dropped then overran it, then McCutchen dropped it, allowing Carpenter to score all the way from first. Would have been a surefire double play if the 2B weren't playing the LH hitter to pull.

[ARCubsFan]

3 runs off Melancon. Because of course.
