6/30 Cubs (Lackey) v. Mets (Matz) 6:10, CSN;MLBN

[Bryants Disco Ball]

June losses down get more frustrating and annoying.

 

Again I know what I saw I think Jones should have sent Wood. He would have scored IMO and even if he doesn't runner on 2nd and 1 out for Bryant

 

Either way it's really more on Bryant and Willson. On this night they just happened to really choke bad.

[Bote McBoteface]

Meh, who cares. Not like the Mets are gonna make the playoffs. i wish Heyward or somebody had pinch run instead of Wood. If so, games tied right now. :/

[raw]

Expect to at least tie it with 2nd and 3rd with Bryant, Rizzo and Contreras coming up. Didn't have much hope for Javy, but you have to score there.

[TMan92]

horsefeathers the Mets

I think Ross was the only other option.

Eh He's really good against righties, but yeah all you need is Bryant or Willson to put the ball in play and they didn't. Very annoying

[LeonDurham]

Can't blame contreras too much. But Bryant has to do better than that.

 

Peralta shouldn't be in the majors.

[soccer10k]

Contreras and Baez had no business swinging at the first pitch. He walked Montero, only threw one clear strike to Zobrist and only threw 2 of 6 in the zone to KB. You know he's going to come down and in. So just take the pitch. If he puts one right over the middle, oh well.

[Sosa21MVP]

Well that game was aggravating.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

My fault, watching play by play on my phone. Turned on the radio with Bryant up.

[illiniguy]

How much longer so we have to wait until we go get real bullpen help?

Maybe not I just hate going into the weekend knowing we need to beat 2 of deGrom, Syndergard and Colon to have a winning road trip especially when the Cubs basically had to fail in every single one of the most critical 4-5 spots of the game to lose

Yeah, the Mets were letting the Cubs score with any grounder by Bryant. Just needed to make some contact. But the other dude gets paid too, I guess.

Seriously for a team that has been so patient this year it was really unlike him. He literally threw like 4 total strikes to 5 batters and managed to get 2 Ks and no runs allowed

[Derwood]

my stream got stuck in a 3 second loop during Javy's AB and then it was jut like "LOL Game Over"

[bcl412]

I really thought being up so many games would make losses like this less frustrating but nope. Here we are.

[TruffleShuffle]

the mets are probably even money to make the playoffs.

[Schwarber Fan]

We probably get swept because of this single loss. That blows.

Well you knew either Bryant or Rizzo was getting walked and given his success against righties you knew Bryant would be the critical AB of the inning. After that you have a rookie in a very high leverage spot and a free swinger. Once Willson couldn't check on the 1st pitch it was not looking good for the Cubs

[Liam Neeson]

[PackLandVA]

Anyone have the stat/rank as to where the Cubs stand with scoring with a man on third and less than two outs? They seem to struggle very often.

[Cubswin11]

Not defending Peralta by any means, he's a washed up bum. But I doubt he's in the game tonight if not for the fallout from the Reds series taxing the bullpen. Edwards, Grimm and Wood were all probably unavailable to pitch tonight. This one sucks but games like these happen. This team competes in so many games a lot of teams roll over for or don't have a chance to be in. Tough/close losses are gonna be a byproduct of that

[Little Slide Rooter]

When our pitchers get out of a jam: good pitching.

 

When their pitchers get out of a jam: bad hitting.

 

Good night.

We used Cahill the very next inning. Madden horsefeathers the bed.

[UMFan83]

What have the Cubs been hitting with RISP during this slide? 0-7 tonight..
