hard to put an infield together when villar is unplayable on defense and madrigal is unplayable on offense.

[17 Seconds]

we traded one of the best closers of all time for nick madrigal

And a guy out for the season after TJS

[UMFan83]

And Madrigal strikes out to lead off the 9th.

[abuck1220]

he strikes out a lot for a guy that never strikes out

[Cubswin11]

Madrigal sucks

[Andy]

New rule - I don't want to hear from broadcasters that Nick Madrigal is a good guy to have up in a certain situation until his OPS is above .650.

 

Another horsefeathers AB from him

For a guy who "doesn't strikeout", he sure does seem to have 2 strikes on him every time up

Oh look, another strikeout and he didn't even have the decency to have it be on a pitch in the zone this time

[Andy]

Well, that one didn't work out for the acquiring team either, to be fair

[UMFan83]

How does he not score there? Yeesh

[UMFan83]

And the Cubs can’t bring the tying run from 3rd with less than 2 outs. The more things change the more they stay the same.

[Andy]

How does he not score there? Yeesh

Javy would've been in the dugout by the time the ball reached home plate

[17 Seconds]

literally every pitch is a fastball right down the middle and the cubs can't touch it

[mias_tisg]

No idea how Ortega didn't score there. Knew they were losing after that.

[cl smooth]

Cubs fake rally masterclass

[17 Seconds]

Ortega's baserunning really fucked that inning. Should have had a triple to begin with and then botched the suzuki double Edited April 24, 2022 by 17 Seconds

[UMFan83]

7-9 and now comes 14 games against the Braves, Brewers, White Sox, Dodgers and Padres. We might be 10-20 by the time that stretch is done with

[Andy]

How many horsefeathering fastballs down Main St. did this dude need to throw before someone realized that's all he was doing?

 

Atrocious game

[itisallpartoftheplan]

That was a Cubs way to lose

you know this team is going to finish with a bad record, right?

Yep. What a tool

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Wrigley Giveth

 

 

Wrigley Taketh Away

 

[abuck1220]

that might be the game that ends any optimistic hope of being decent. giving that one away followed by going like 4-10 in this next brutal stretch and being 9 games out seems pretty possible.

Series: Pirates 3, Cubs 1

Runs scored: Cubs 29, Pirates 12

 

Got to be close to a record I’d think. Outscoring a team by 17 runs but losing the series.

Especially a 4 games series. Feel like you get more flukey stuff in a 3 game series.
