7/7 The Cubs are trying to play baseball again

[UMFan83]

3 whole runs on Monday, a whopping 10 yesterday and now 3 runs in the 1st inning today are the Cubs finally coming out of their offensive free fall?

...and all singles.

I'm guessing given that he was wearing the mitt, this is a "let's be safe and protect our asset" play, but man every bump and bruise for him and Kimbrel the next few weeks will be scary

Yes, Heyward, please at least TRY to earn the $129,000 you make PER GAME

He’s worth 9.7 WAR in 6 years with the Cubs vs 23 in 5 years with ATL.

 

Awesome.

Wisdoms got 3B locked up for the next few years

[Cubfanintheknow]

Feeling a lot better about this team after the win!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just kidding. I'm drunk.

[WrigleyField 22]

I brought good vibes to Wrigley tonight. First game since 2018, I think. Your welcome Cobs.

[PackLandVA]

Our long national nightmare is over!! Hooray.

Gained a game! They now only have 76 games to make up 9 on the powerhouse Brewers and their 22nd ranked offense (by wRC+), boogity boogity

 

Half a game. Brewers played a DH.

I feel like the Duke 2.0 shtick isn't very inspiring. Pretty sure the Cubs suck and won't be/have interest in getting back into a race no matter how many games are left.

Couldn’t care less about inspiration, the rest of the division is trash as are most other teams in the league. As far as I’m concerned those are just the facts. Whether the Cubs want to take advantage of that is up in the air, but 100% they should

 

Hey, man, I support you believing all you want. But there is zero reason to believe this Cubs team is going to spot anybody nine games and fight back into the race when that team is going to add at the deadline and the Cubs aren't. You can try to speak it into existence like trading for a Lindor, but you are wasting your time.

Hey the Dodgers lost 11 in a row in 2017 and ended up making it to Game 7 of the World Series.

 

Of course when they started that streak they were 92-41 but still lol

[PackLandVA]

Is it time to dust off “Vaunted”?

Nah, more reason for that than the zero to believe the Brewers locked up the division before the season was half done. Like that’s equally if not more irrational considering that the Brewers, by the standards of the moment, are trash

 

I didn't say the Brewers have it locked up. What I am saying is that the Cubs aren't going to be the one to win it.

[Sammy Sofa]

Who cares if a trash Cubs team can catch up to a trash Brewers team. That's arguably/pretty much definitely the worst outcome.

We respect you and will check back for updates at some point.
