9/15 Stupid losers (Lester) vs. Commies (Reed) 3:05 NBCSN

The Cody Reed revenge game

[Sammys Boombox]

Our offense really is no fun right now.

[chibears55]

And the top of the order goes down easily in the top of the 1st against Reed

 

Remembering the days the Cubs offense actually had a pulse and was fun to watch.

Seems so long ago

Who had Bote and Caratini starting at the corner infield for the Cubs in the middle of September with a 1.5 game lead in the division

[TMan92]

Just put the no hitter symbol up on game day today

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Please, please, please stop playing Addison Russell.

[Sammy Sofa]

These guy just threw Addison 3 of the most meatball-y meatball pitches to strike him out.

[abuck1220]

if there’s a worse mlb hitter than Addison Russell i’d like to see that person

[PackLandVA]

Our offense really is no fun right now this season.

GADZOOKS, A HIT.

Early jinx

Kyle Hendricks?

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Would Addison Russell even get us a No. 5 starter with one season of control in the offseason?

[Sammy Sofa]

Addison:

 

[chibears55]

Basically Maddon and us are just hoping the SP can toss a shutout and the lineup can scratch out or luck into a run or two..

[Schwarber Fan]

Got to just keep playing Caratini... he’s putting together the best at-bats of anybody right now.

Wait. Isn't that pretty much what we have been hoping for the past few weeks?

[CyHawk_Cub]

Huh, had no clue this guy could pitch

 

[Cubswin11]

I honestly don’t think you can even pencil Almora in on the roster next year, Bryce or not. There isn’t enough there to fall back on to think he might just be this shitty player he’s been the last few months

It's interesting. I always sense you hate Almora the most and I hate Russell the most.

 

I think the big difference is, I didn't have huge expectations for Almora, so him sucking doesn't suck as much as Addison Russell being worse than a good hitting pitcher.

[CyHawk_Cub]

I think Almora would be just fine as a cheap bench player. The problem is he gets too many starts & inexplicably hits too high in the order when he does. It's a manager issue for me. Not saying I'd shed a tear if he was moved, to be clear.

[BigSlick]

It would be great if the Cubs just exerted their offensive will on someone but they simply cannot right now. Also Victor Caratini, though he may be our hottest hitter, is playing first base.
