6/20 - try to lead after 5

[Schwarber Fan]

Big storm coming, hopefully it holds off until after the game.

 

Chris Myers got excited over a shallow fly ball in the first inning.

 

Happy Father’s Day.

At this point I would gladly take Pederson/Schwarber butchering it up in the corners but donging like crazy over Heyward playing solid defense but stinking it up at the plate

Schwarber has 5 home runs in the Nationals last 13 innings. The Cubs have 5 total hits in their last 19 innings

[Schwarber Fan]

Rizzo picked off twice today, lol

[UMFan83]

Gotta love the Cubs, who are desperate for base runners of any kind, have 2 outs on the bases today

[Derwood]

TOOTBLAN's everywhere

[We Got The Whole 9]

Have we ever had a worse baserunner?

TV broadcast is like being at a funeral

Right now they literally have 5 kids on a widescreen in the booth and they’re commenting on their antics.

 

And it’s more interesting than the game.

[UMFan83]

A (questionable) hit!

 

And another bloop hit!

 

Offense is rolling now

 

Edit: and a grounder through the hole for an RBI single. BABIP gods have taken mercy on us

The incapacity of this team to record base hits, the fundamental building block of baseball, is impressive

 

Edit: I love a reverse jinx

[UMFan83]

Wow KB is terrible right now

[Schwarber Fan]

KB… brutal.

[BigSlick]

What do you even do with KB. Sit him for a week? Legitimately don’t know what to do. Everyone’s awful

I mean Wisdom basically just got the team 2 runs. Give him 3rd for a bit.

[UMFan83]

That’s 3 baserunners Rizzo has eliminated today

I feel like I’ve had this discussion about a half dozen times over the past couple of seasons. There’s nothing to do but ride it out because they’ll eventually snap out of it

[Derwood]

Contreras has been worse than KB today

[Schwarber Fan]

Tepera should be an all-star.

[Cubfanintheknow]

Anybody else notice the lack of masks when they show the Cubs' dugout? Haven't seen one on Ross... he almost always has one on.

[UMFan83]

Most baseball teams when they slump they will have an outlier game occasionally where they put together 5-6 runs in a game. The Cubs when they slump it’s consistently poor offense. Trending towards the 7th time in the last 8 games where they’ve scored 2 runs or less. That 8th game? 3 runs scored, aided by a garbage time 9th inning 2 run HR the other night

[UMFan83]

Kimbrel’s hat is missing that familiar dirt spot on the brim. Pitches still seem crisp and with movement

[PackLandVA]

Salvage win - fly it!! :flythew:
