8.22 Sutcliffe is a moron

[CubinNY]

My goodness I can’t stand him. 0-0 top of 2.

[CubinNY]

Booting the ball in the infield and not covering 1st base is the new market inefficiency for tanking teams.

1-0 KC after two unforced errors. None out runners on 2nd and 3rd.

[PackLandVA]

Ortega just basically turned that single into a double. He threw it into the infield to "no man's land". No shot at home. No shot at third and he threw it weakly to the mound letting the guy go to second.

 

Fundamental mistakes galore.

Cubs are 3-15 this month. If they lose out they will be 3-23 which is I believe the 6th worst month in baseball history

 

1988 Orioles 1-22 (April)

1916 A's 2-28 (July)

1982 Twins 3-26 (May)

1943 A's 3-26 (August)

2012 Astros 3-24 (July)

Sounds like Nico injured himself in his rehab game in SB. Left the game mid-AB

 

[Schwarber Fan]

I know the Cubs are awful, but how are the Royals not a better team? Merrifield, Sanatana, Perez, Benintendi. They steal bases, play good defense… has their pitching been that bad?

Ugh. Time to start calling him “injury prone?”

[CubinNY]

Cubs are moribund.

They’re just dead. Zero vibe

Start?

[PackLandVA]

A bunch of "try hard" guys, but not every day players. And Ortega clearly did NOT make that catch. Easily see the ball roll from his glove to his belly.

[Schwarber Fan]

It’s crazy to watch consistent major league at bats by every Royals player and every Cubs batter have a trash plate appearance.

[PackLandVA]

Probably because just about the entire Cubs' lineup are not everyday MLB players, and many are nothing more than AAAA players.

[UMFan83]

Meanwhile the Orioles just lost their 18th in a row, getting blown out in most of those games. Not fair, the Cubs can't even be the worst team in baseball.

In a ten game series the Orioles would win six or seven.

Schwindel continues to carve up MLB pitching. Going 2-4 today (.315)
