Cubs (Brown) @ Brewers (Peralta) :: 5/28/24, 6:40pm, Marquee

[Rex Buckingham]

Morel really has been taking some good ABs

[Rex Buckingham]

calling that a strike when it bends around the zone is a choice

Nice work Happ /s

[ToolDRT]

Happ is nothing if not reliable 

[UMFan83]

Cubs essentially have a leadoff double and are likely not going to score it.  Out 1 was ineptitude, out 2 was wildly unlucky.  Lets see what out 3 holds for us

[JHBulls]

Ian Happ with the good old “I don’t want to swing at this in case I hit into a double play despite 1st base being open” strikeout. 

[ToolDRT]

Would really like to see Happ and Madrigal just go now. 

[UMFan83]

Wow you know you're terrible when Michael horsefeathers Busch and his 40% K rate are being intentionally walked to get to you.  Insane.

He had his big game when it didn’t matter.

I was going to post the same thing but was worried I was getting too doombonery.  

[UMFan83]

And now it appears that they are trying to see if Dansby will get himself out, otherwise they'll take their chances with the pitcher (aka Amaya - who I realize has 2 hits today but come on)

I mean it could have mattered if literally any other player on the team did anything offensively in that game.  Not his fault that all his teammates failed.

[UMFan83]

Come on HBP or wild pitch

[Soul]

Ok.  The one thing Swanson could do for us was just not swing.  And he did it.

[profisme]

Well that was a great at-bat.

[Soul]

🙄

[ToolDRT]

Beautiful at bat. 

[UMFan83]

Damn, that pitcher's spot always comes up at the worst time.

[Andy]

I legitimately don't think I've ever seen a hitter as lost as Amaya looks these days.

Let's hope the pen can hang on

[Thusly Boned]

Our catcher situation is dire.

I’d argue our entire lineup looks that lost.

And now it was his turn to fail his teammates.

 

 

(OK that’s probably a little too dark sorry)

[CUBDOM4life]

I don’t think Amaya’s gonna make it

[PackLandVA]

I’m so tempted to just turn the game off right now and then check NSBB game thread in about 20 minutes.
