7/2 Cubs (Hendricks) @ Pirates (Musgrove) 6:05 NBCSC

Its amazing our depth issues. Pirates have Liriano ready to go and we have to choose between Chatwood, Maples or Monty

[Schwarber Fan]

Bryant striking out and Rizzo grounding out to the right side have highlighted the last several weeks of struggles.

Liriano is toast. But he’ll probably dominate us.

Liriano is just as bad or worse as those guys

[Schwarber Fan]

Steven Brault 2-2 as a pinch hitter this series. What a joke.

[TMan92]

This Pirates offense is so miserable to watch as we can’t do crap. Awesome, Monty coming in to face a lefty.

 

Edit: .500 BAA vs lefties

[r_mack]

Ha

[profisme]

Can someone please tell me what an Adam Frazer is?

[Ding Dong Johnson]

horsefeathers this trash team.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

So does Maddon gets fired at the break?

[TMan92]

What an absolutely terrible pitch.

[Cubswin11]

My god, Joe. How much longer until he realizes Monty isn’t a lefty out getter and shouldn’t be coming in, in innings with runners on.

[Schwarber Fan]

This is as bad as we’ve seen this team since 2016 ended. I think that’s fair to say. Something major has to change and soon.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

It's pretty crazy. The starting pitching sucks. The relief pitching sucks. The offense sucks. The baserunning sucks. The defense sucks. Like, everything sucks.

Correction: Since 2014 ended.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Here comes a solo, meaningless dong this inning.

Seems like he’s having a good season statistically. He’s certainly pitching better than the crap the Cubs are throwing out there.

[soccer10k]

So glad Joe keeps trying to make Monty a thing. He’s useless right now.

Nah we were playing just as bad right before the break in 2017

[TMan92]

So does Maddon gets fired at the break?

 

Even though this roster is not his fault, I think it is coming.

His FIP and xFIP are in the 4s and 5s and have been every year since 2015 and his ERA has been there too except this year. He’s very mediocre like Monty and the rest.

What a horsefeathering joke. 2 days in a row a pitcher extends and inning and leads to multiple runs.

 

Our pitcher pulls the miracle yesterday and we get a foul homer and a 3-1 pop up.

We were 40-42 at one point there, but had we sucked for more than a month? I feel like this slump started in late May.

We were 5-20 going in to the break in 2016, I believe. Which is somehow worse than 2017 or even where we are so far this year.

Holy horsefeathers, is that true?
