7/6 - Brewers (Davies) @ World Champion Chicago Cubs (Montgomery) 1:20 CSN & MLBN

[Agony and Ivy]

It'll be ok when Schwarber hits one off the scoreboard.

[David]

we're still going to dong this clown

[Transmogrified Tiger]

4 ground balls, a K and a walk probably shouldn't be 2 runs. Sure it will be sometimes, but boy it'd be nice if we could have like, maybe consecutive days without this type of misfortune raining down on us.

[JonJayCutler]

Irrational me is getting that 07/08 feeling again where I rather see the Cards take the division if we can't.

[UMFan83]

Theo is going to have to force the trade market for starting pitchers to open

[Thed Hoyerstein]

were any of the ground balls at least hit hard?

[David]

I believe in luck and BABIP etc but when you see it fail you day in and day out you start to question it even though you shouldn't

[UMFan83]

the double kind of was. The issue is that Bryant probably should have been able to make a play on it.

 

And holy hell talk about bad luck what the horsefeathers was that

[Ding Dong Johnson]

this first inning is the 2017 cubs in a nut shell

[Agony and Ivy]

Hahahahahahaha horsefeathers off Brewers

[UMFan83]

I mean seriously what the horsefeathering horsefeathers was that?

[David]

lol is this scripted?

 

our luck vs theirs is already at ridiculous levels and we're not out of the 1st yet

[bcl412]

That carried quite a bit.

[David]

now that stupid ass luckbox double play is even more irritating (i know butterfly effect blah blah)

[UMFan83]

and that will score a run......is what i would say if the brewers middle infield didnt just engage in an act of athletic tomfoolery

I mean, we have the fourth lowest BABIP against so far this year. And that's with being a pretty heavy groundball team (5th in the majors). I know it's a regression from best of all time, but we're still turning a lot of balls in play into outs.

 

Offensive BAPIP is a different story, obviously.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Man, it sucks when the point of the season has come when the focus has to be on good luck and bad luck.

[UMFan83]

This is the 30th time in 85 games that the Cubs have trailed after the 1st inning. 35% of the time they are losing right away. (amazingly they are 13-16 in those games)

[Schwarber Fan]

That inning finally make some sense of #ThatsCub

I can't wait for the 2017 end of the season montage!

the way that 1st inning went, i'd be saying it even if we were 10 games up and 25 games over

[JonJayCutler]

I've accepted that we'll forever be indebted to the baseball gods for receiving that random rain cloud in G7.

 

And I'm completely fine with that.

Hey baseball gods, if you think that you are doing an epic troll by having us win the World Series finally and then give us the most frustrating season possible...the joke's on you, winning the World Series was great.
