Red (Lodolo) vs Cubs (Brown): 6/2/24, 1:20pm

Really good AB, Morel. 😑

[Illiterate Scholar]

You could tell by Martinez' reaction, he thought that Belli double was gone. And I'm a little confused myself how that stayed in.

Yeah Wrigley is annoying. 380 to RF should be a HR every time.

Aren’t Wrigley power alleys the shortest in baseball? Maybe I am wrong but I always thought that. The lines are furthest, but the alleys are easiest to reach.

I saw the Cubs a few times in Spring Training this year and they looked so much better than how they’ve been playing the last month. Ugh

$230 million well spent.

Losing 2 of 3 to the last place reds would be quite a low point for this team

I think we can go lower. White Sox are next.

Kyle looked pretty good today. 

[PeanutPunch33]

Gross performance by the Cubs, people will blame CC but the players need to play better 

[Geographyhater8888]

Wouldn’t be a bad idea either to DH for Amaya and bat the pitchers 9th.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Feels like Counsell could've sequenced the pinch hitters a bit better.  Tauchman didn't need to stay in the game, so you could've sent Busch to 1B and moved Gomes back to Tauchman's spot.  That would've let you go PCA-Busch instead of Busch-PCA, and if you come back you can get your defensive upgrade by leaving in PCA anyway if you like.

[ToolDRT]

I’m at a complete loss for words with this team. 

[Chicago Al]

Miss the days the Cubs would mop up the Brewers, Reds and Pirates.

What better time to expand the zone

I still fully blame Jed 🤷‍♂️

[muntjack]

So what would selling look like?

[17 Seconds]

8 back in the loss column to the brewers is just unreal

And that’s what really makes me sick. We get on tom for being cheap (some of that’s fair, mind you) but this is not an inexpensive team. Jed did an amazing job of building utter mediocrity and he needs to be replaced. He’s so obsessed with winning every transaction that’s he’s blinded himself to the middling team he has built. 

[ToolDRT]

Oh well. Enjoy your Sunday guys. 

[Cubfanintheknow]

Haven't won back to back games since May 4-5 against the Brewers. 8-17 since then.

[Cubs420psd]

Jed sucks and so does this team...

horsefeathers Brewers org running circles around Theo's little brother.

 

So pathetic.

[CubinNY]

Booooooooooooooo

Bellinger first and foremost. Maybe Tauchman. Neris if you can find someone dumb enough (like the Cubs) to ignore his peripherals.

I'm not sure who else doesn't fall under one or more of 1) too young for it to make sense to give up on, 2) too old or signed for too long to make sense to trade, or 3) sucks too bad to have any value. There might be a reliever in there somewhere that I'm missing.

[UMFan83]

6 straight series losses, and there was a 4 gamer and a 2 gamer in there that were splitable 

2-8-1 in our last 11
