Why is Wrigley so empty?

This whole weather thing is weird. If it's so dangerous, why are the players still on the field?

Learned this while watching minor league baseball in Tennessee. I do believe there is no such thing as a "lightning delay."

Cody refuses to take walks right now.  He is swinging at so much out of the zone.  And then Morel pops up a hanger in the middle of the plate.  This team is a waking nightmare.

Gotta love the Cubs lineup getting destroyed consistently by good starting pitchers.

But Justin Steele (every start since he came off the IL), Shota Imanaga (last 2 starts) and Ben Brown (last start) have been getting beaten comprehensively by lineups that are no better than the Cubs lineup. 

To be fair to Steele, he's given up 1 total ER in his last 2 starts and while he did allow 4 additional unearned runs they were as unearned as an unearned run can get as they were all as a result of his RF dropping a routine fly ball.

Need a long down pour and delay to call the game..

They move the fans but leave the players on the field 😅

Maybe management is hoping, ya' know.....

I wish it was in protest of the horsefeathers team, but just lightning.

[BKHoo]

Maybe this game will = rock bottom. 

[Derwood]

It's a hopeless feeling knowing that there is no magic pill to fix this offense. They're all just SO BAD

Someone has to get fired at the end of this year. The entire front office needs to go honestly. This is the worst product I’ve seen on the field since 2022. Might be worse than that. 

Don’t question the front office . They never do anything wrong and when things go bad , it’s Ricketts fault . Jed is the smartest president of baseball operations in baseball .

[DYMNO]

The only fun part of this year was Shota, and now that's being taken away, too.

Yeah but nobody knows how long they’ll stay at rock bottom.

[Nolansomebody]

Rain delay. Sweet release at last.

[JHBulls]

I have never been happier for a rain delay. 

[DYMNO]

This couldn't have happened two innings ago? The good Lord hates the Cubs.

Is this serious? Have you looked at this roster?

I'm surprised his name's not Clark

[Geographyhater8888]

Where do you even begin with fixing this team? There’s one gaping hole after another on this horribly constructed roster.

[Tryptamine]

Ok, so who do the Cubs have on short deals that other teams might want? I'm struggling to come up with anyone.

You could probably get a slight something for Cody, but beyond that, not really.

[Cubs206]

There is no accountability. It’s a country club

I feel like Belli is a valuable piece who would look great in a lineup where he doesn't feel responsible for trying to win the game by himself.  His positional flexibility is a big positive.

[GoCubsGo1978]

I'm joining a little late, but if Morel makes that play at third the White Sox don't score five runs in that inning. 

With that said Morel's offense is not making up for his defensive mistakes, somebody else needs to be playing third. Bench Morel now!

[mfcubs22]

I’ve been a big supporter of Morel, but I’m done with him at 3B. He’s a DH only option at this point. Which sucks, because then you can’t play PCA, Cody, Seiya, and Busch. And have to start Wisdom or Bote. 

[LBiittner]

Are the Sox flexen their superiority? 

Football starts in July, thankfully 

[Nomar1679622287]

Why did we not just play Busch at 3B
