A double and 3 walks and we haven’t scored.

[Schwarber Fan]

Almora to save the day!

[abuck1220]

ok breaking ball that doesn’t break and hits almora in the back plz

[minnesotacubsfan]

coulda walked Russell in but noooooooooo

[Brian]

Pitching coach telling him this guys sucks

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Almora. I don't care how you have to do it, but you figure out a way to let the ball hit you. Even if you have to dive across the plate.

[abuck1220]

stunned almora swung at first pitch

[Brian]

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Almora, you could have leaned into that easy.

[Brian]

[UMFan83]

Umps are getting worse. They just are

[Andy]

[Bryants Disco Ball]

[Schwarber Fan]

Clown can’t find the zone and gets that call. horsefeathers off.

[minnesotacubsfan]

gameday saying that was out of the zone

[Brian]

Umps are getting worse. They just are

 

I don't watch enough of other teams to know if it is league wide, or if it has to do with the complaining the Cubs have done but there is a lot of horrible balll strike calls against the Cubs

[Cubswin11]

horsefeathers

[itisallpartoftheplan]

1 pitch in the zone out of 5 according to gamecast. 1 was Almora’s fault, the other was the umps. Nice.

[Sammys Boombox]

Inappropriate bad words!

[Gmoney08]

Meatball take but im officially done with Addison Russell. My hot take is that hes an idiot on and off the field, makes zero adjustments and will likely keep sucking.

 

Also why in the horsefeathers was Contreras bunting. Absolutely disgusting.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

gameday saying that was out of the zone

because it was

[Brian]

it's surprising when Russell doesn't screw up

[bcl412]

How can a team with such a good record be so frustrating

[UMFan83]

Is it weird that I have such an extreme aversion to watching other teams walk off the Cubs that I turn games off when the opponent is batting and then switch back if the Cubs come back up?
