Whoever that guy is doing color with Pat, can we just keep him there permanently?

 

It's nice to hear a voice box that has tone control.

[UMFan83]

Just me or has Bryant been striking out a lot more lately?

[Tryptamine]

Making a terrible pitcher look real good right now.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

This game sucks.

24.8% K rate since May 15, 101PAs.

Can we not have our something like eighth game this year where we suck against a mediocre pitcher? horsefeathers is getting really old.

Dude, there were multiple articles this week comparing us favorably to the Murderers' Row Yankees.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Dammit, Javy ripped that.

[Omar]

.... Do we not have video of him (touching / not touching ) the base?

[UMFan83]

Remember that time we made the Reds pitcher throw 49 pitches in 2/3 of an inning? that was fun

[Gilby]

Since when was Bud Norris a pitcher that sat 95-96 mph? He looks extremely filthy tonight.

[UMFan83]

Oh that is not fair

[BigSlick]

Oh so we're gonna hit into a million line outs and they're gonna make amazing plays? Ok

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Come on, now...

[Tryptamine]

Adonis Garcia is busy channeling Brooks Robinson

[Andy]

Well, this game is horse horsefeathers

[CincyCubsFan]

Nice outfit Kaplan.

Damn Heyward

 

Back at it again with the mediocre plate appearances.

[UMFan83]

Are we just facing better pitching or are the scouting reports basically saying don't nibble, just attack them? Just doesn't seem like we are walking at the rate we were earlier in the year.

 

But we probably walked like 8 times last game and I'm just a moron.

[Ski]

Holy horsefeathers, score some runs. It's the Barves. Good lord.

Pitching backwards and challenging them. The Cubs have shown zero ability to adjust to it.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

You do realize we are 41-17, right? I mean, horsefeathers... calm down.

I'm calm now. ^^

Another lucky hit. Might as well get them all out at once

This offense just hasn't been good for a while now. Since May 15th, a 23 game stretch, they've averaged 4.21 runs per game. During that stretch 13 of those games had 3 runs scored or fewer. Comparatively, 4.21 runs per game would place them 15th in baseball compared to the rest of the teams season long runs per game.
