Yeah definitely, the luck probably evens out.  We tend to forget about the wins like the 1-0 Milwaukee win or the Bellinger deflects GW hit off the Brewers pitcher, or Happ throws out 2 runners at the plate in Milwaukee, or Tauchman robbing a walkoff, etc etc and only focus on when we lost because a ball deflects off our pitcher.

Those Reds games just stick with me because it was back-to-back days with a lead in the 9th inning and either one not only puts us 2 games farther from them in the standings but clinches the tiebreaker.  If the Cubs miss the playoffs there are a shitload of games in September to point to but if they make it there are also a shitload of games all season to point to.

That not luck, those wins happened on pure skill the cubbies way 😏😏😏

Not sure Swanson hitting 2nd is better than hitting 5th but maybe his approach to ABs is different hitting 2nd and he can get it together.

I think this is something Ross has taken from Maddon playbook, when a player slumping bat him at the top of lineup.

So sad that it has come down to playing Morel at 3B / Wisdom at 1B and a kid who has taken like 1 AB in the last month  in a must win game .

This latest injury reinforces that the Cubs can't count on Madrigal for anything going forward.  For 2024 and beyond, he is nothing more than roster depth.  Even when he is playing well enough, it's only a matter of time before he goes down with a hamstring injury again.  

         "All of this has happened before. All of this will happen again."

and him playing “well” is hitting like .280 with no OBP or SLG and terrible baserunning. and you’ll get that for like two weeks and then his hamstring will explode. shouldn’t be anywhere close to the opening day roster next year.

Brilliant move by Ross to put Canario in the lineup on a day that the game is rained out so people stop complaining. (The game hasn’t be rained out and probably won’t but looks like delay will last a while)
