Ugh taking strike 3 right down the middle

[Sosa21MVP]

Hunting for another 1-run loss I see!

Tie game!

[UMFan83]

Wow they tied it

[Transmogrified Tiger]

just the knowledge they'll get to share the dugout with Mervis tomorrow has revived the offense, amazing

[Tryptamine]

Assad pitched really well today.

Yeah, that was a huge performance if only because it kept the rest of the pen from having to pitch today.

[UMFan83]

Dammit Bellinger

[Tryptamine]

Well that was a really bad at bat by Bellinger

[Transmogrified Tiger]

boy I don't know if I'd let Wisdom take this AB

[Tryptamine]

Well that was absolutely terrible. 

[UMFan83]

No matter who is coaching the players, no matter who the players are, no matter who the opponents are, the Cubs are doomed to suck with RISP for the rest of time.

I was just going to say it's amusing that the Cubs were actually hitting well with RISP for like a minute and a half and the baseball gods were like, "Nope, that horsefeathers isn't happening" and they've regressed at warp speed

[soccer10k]

That was pretty damn annoying.

Yep, that's a spot where you need contact and that's the only reason madrigal is on the damn roster.  Massive fail by Ross there.

Ross needs to hire someone to be the game manager and he can just motivate guys and stuff.  He's terrible at this.

[Tryptamine]

Lol, this team sucks.

[Rex Buckingham]

everybody else brings in guy after guy who throws 98, we bring in Brad Boxberger

[UMFan83]

Hey, I got to see the only Cubs win on the road trip in person!

[UMFan83]

Cubs are very close to being put in the same jail I put the Bulls in,  check the score on my phone and read the discourse on twitter/NSBB

[Tryptamine]

Over/under 10 games out of the division by the end of May?

🤪

That's a road trip you can't have there. Squad may have just cost themselves any chance at making a serious run at a playoff spot.

At least we'll get a chance to see the youngins go at it. That's what is most important in the end anyway. 

[Derwood]

Six one-run losses so far

Has to be almost impossible to do at this point in the season.
