8/1: Cubs (Lester) @ Cardinals (Flaherty) 6:15, NBCSCH

[Schwarber Fan]

Here goes first inning Lester. Let’s hope the offense overcomes it because he won’t give up much more.

[BigSlick]

Hopefully we don't have Bad-Got-Nothing-In-The-Tank Lester

[TMan92]

Jon didn’t get too beat up but this team needs to score some damn runs

[Schwarber Fan]

Contreras swinging and missing at a Happlike rate.

[Schwarber Fan]

[expletive]. Let’s just go back to Wrigley.

[BigSlick]

uncool man

[Edith Cox]

Martinez get a RBI on 69.8 MPH and we hit a out at 110.1

[Cubswin11]

Contreras swinging and missing at a Happlike rate.

He has a 20% K rate since he came back including that K there. He’s at 24% this year and 23% for his career.

[BigSlick]

are you really not gonna give lester a homer there? come on baseball gods

[Edith Cox]

Lets go offense its about time to figure out how to score some runs in St Louis without needing errors, but I would take some gift runs as well.

[Sammy Sofa]

The Cubs are 2+ games without a dong.

 

They've only gone 2 straight games without a dong one other time this season.

 

The only worse stretch is a 3 game stretch near the start of the season.

 

START DONGING, CLODS.

Castellanos gives the boys a chance to rest with long AB on pitches and time he steps out.

[Schwarber Fan]

This offense is just trash.

[NotSoSober]

Should Bryant even be allowed to travel with the team to Busch?

[TMan92]

Flaherty is good, but man this is brutal

[Sammy Sofa]

Squinty McGree must go extra blind in St. Louis from all of the Provel fumes.

[Edith Cox]

KB on a 1-for-20 skid and the hit was a boot by the SS yesterday on a hard hit ball.

[d_money]

Lifeless offense. They appear to be going through the motions. Maybe crazy Joe needs to bring in a magician, animals, a mime or whatever.

They need an American Legion week this year, but Theo wants them taking extra BP rather than less so maybe he needs to call that off.

[Cubswin11]

These are garbage ass hits off Jon

[Schwarber Fan]

That’ll do it. We aren’t scoring 2 tonight.

It’s baseball, slumps happen

[BigSlick]

guys i can't do another game where they do absolutely nothing offensively

I just seriously can’t comprehend how a team can look so good hitting for long stretches and so anemic for other stretches. It’s been going on for 2 years now
