7/1/19 - Cubs (ADBERT) @ Pirates (Williams) - 6:05 CDT - NBCSCH/ESPN

[TMan92]

David Hernandez was allowed to walk two guys in a row for the Reds and the last one forced in a run to face Yelich with the bases loaded and one out.

I’m trying here

 

Everyone:

 

[TMan92]

6-3 Brewers now

[Bryants Disco Ball]

6-3 Brewers now

 

I feel like eventually the Cubs just need to start winning or it's not going to matter what the scores of the other games are. They are so damn fortunate to only be one game out of first right now. The Brewers are so lucky, of course, to be up a game. But horsefeathers them.

 

Cubs, ya gotta start playing better.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Great ab by Rizzo. Stare at 2 fastballs in the middle of the zone and hack at the one a foot above it.

[Schwarber Fan]

2nd straight game the offense did plenty and the pitching can’t get anyone out.

Not really. The offense did stuff when the pitchers were just trying to get outs with big leads.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Brach gets an rbi single and Descalso is about to pitch a clean inning. Both going to be DFAd doing something the other couldn’t do.

[dfnowak]

Oh hey! Descalso is pitching! How hilarious!

Damnit

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Oh hey! Descalso is pitching! How hilarious!

 

Remember when that was rare and cool?

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Hope this is rust. Hope this is rust. Hope this is rust.

[UMFan83]

Hope this is rust. Hope this is rust. Hope this is rust.

 

He’s just trying to fit in

 

Now am I talking about fitting in with his teammates or fitting in with Theo FA signings?

[Schwarber Fan]

This is the death of the 2019 Cubs. No question.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I can't expect Kimbrel to be very good yet, but I'm really hoping he's actually.........still good.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Also, he needs work. But if he's your closer, are you just going to let him throw 25 pitches this inning and burn him for tomorrow, too?

[We Got The Whole 9]

Oh horsefeathers. What a horsefeathers miserable team right now. 2 bombs allowed by Kimbrel.

[UMFan83]

Pirates have scored in every inning except the 3rd and multiple runs in every inning except the 3rd and 6th.

 

In every inning the Cubs have scored, the Pirates have scored at least as many runs in their half of the inning

[Hawk4Hall]

Which Cubs pitcher will be throwing to batters at the Home Run Derby?

[Sosa21MVP]

Clutch single by KB. Could have used that earlier when the bases were loaded. :p

[soccer10k]

Looks like I didn’t miss much today.

[Jaxbro]

So can Happ and his .218 average and .717 OPS(both the lowest of tonight’s Iowa lineup) in a severely hitter friendly league, join the shitshow cause he’d fit right in for the most part.

 

Forget Garcia, he’s to good for the current approach at the plate

Holy horsefeathers, are Happ's numbers that low?

[We Got The Whole 9]

A guy whose OBP and SLG would look merely decent as a batting average should not be playing on a MLB team, let alone one that has mild postseason aspirations.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Wow, the biggest accomplishment is that we had been in first since June 18. How in the hell did they stay in first that long? I feel like we have won three games since then.
