8/25 Cubs (Hamels) vs Nats (Strasburg) 1:20 WGN, TBS

[Andy]

If the Cubs don't lead MLB in 2-strike foul balls hit by the opposition (especially in big spots), I feel bad for whoever does.

[Schwarber Fan]

Rendon has to be the toughest out in the league. Maybe second to Trout? My goodness.

[Derwood]

I'm pretty sure the Cubs bullpen hasn't had a 1-2-3 inning all year*

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

* this probably isn't correct

I wouldn’t be shocked if they lead, outside of like 3 pitchers they don’t have any pitchers with premium swing and miss stuff.

[UMFan83]

I hate making a pitching change here

[Schwarber Fan]

Wick has a better chance of getting the next guy out than Ryan, cmon Joe.

[UMFan83]

Strike 1, Strike 2, foul, nibble, nibble, nibble, foul, nibble

[Andy]

Yep, that's how that was always gonna end

[Schwarber Fan]

Whatever. This team will just always choke when it comes down to it this year.

[UMFan83]

Baseball is easily the dumbest sport on earth

[TMan92]

One team makes contact and one can’t. I hate the Nationals

[Schwarber Fan]

Honestly kinda hope Cabrera just hits a grand slam to save us from the next 3 fake rallies.

[TMan92]

Boooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!

[Schwarber Fan]

This is on Joe again. Wick should have faced Soto.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I wonder what it would be like to have an offense like this?

[UMFan83]

Shocker that our pitching change didn’t work out. I hate this team

[itisallpartoftheplan]

horsefeathering losers

You want any chance at a playoff run? Maddon can’t be the manager on Tuesday. Otherwise this freefall will continue.

[Derwood]

It's unbelievable the disaster this bullpen has become. Morrow, Edwards, Strop are all dead or gone, Kimbrel came in late then died, and if anyone thinks Rowan Wick will be a dominant reliever again next year, they are far more optimistic than me

[TMan92]

Two straight batters go the other way and just make contact and don’t try to do too much. It isn’t hard

[BigSlick]

You’re gonna get swept like this at home? Guess you wanna lose the division then

 

Shameful and humiliating

Saying this over and over and over and OVER AND OVER every game doesn't make it true

[Schwarber Fan]

Good teams grab hold of the game when they have two on, no outs, and the opposing pitcher on the ropes. There are many other issues but that’s what this game boils down to. Edited August 25, 2019 by Schwarber Fan

Yep. The players suck too

The fact that it’s true makes it true. There’s plenty of blame to go around but Maddon shoulders a lot of it and at the end of the day he’s the one that’s going to go.
