I just find it hilarious that we are in a position where Wisdom is the “best” play to leadoff. 0-6 with 5k’s against lefties so far.

Swanson OPS over .800 the last 9 games. Encouraging

Coincides exactly with when I dumped him in fantasy baseball with the exact goal of getting his bat going again

Make that 0-7 with 6k’s.

Wisdom kills lefties, so of course the second the Cubs decide to try to weaponize that in their lineup he goes over a cliff

Has anyone mentioned that this team sucks

A few people mentioned it but apparently since they won 2 against the white sox they are still a juggernaut and not terrible 

[Andy]

Morel with another stroke of ridiculous bad luck

[LBiittner]

JD was talking with boog about when he was in the yankee farm he started and pitched 11 innings and struck out 20 in one game. 

11 innings for a prospect? That would be blasphemous in todays minors.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Bases loaded for Bote.. just kidding umps award free strikes on 3-0 counts.

[LBiittner]

Reds are playing their guys right where these hitters hit the ball...

Belli plays both cf and 1B as well as anyone. Too bad we don't have more players that can play one position well.

There's nothing special about the Reds positioning, it's just the randomness of baseball at play. If the Cubs continue to hit the ball hard, the runs will come.

Gomes was so good last year, now he has a gray beard 

[CUBDOM4life]

Yan Gomes just got a hit

[chibears55]

Can't wait til August when we can at least watch the prospects play over these scrubs.

How sad is it when a 4th outfielder is your best hitter on the team with a .264 Avg and .771 OPS .

6 of the 9 in today lineup has a batting average of 220 and below 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

[LBiittner]

I remember back when i was young, it was common to have 3 maybe 4 cub hitters hitting above or close to 300.

but alas batting average is no longer relevant. 

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Fraley sliding in feet first on that seems both counter productive and dangerous in a dickish way.  Basically the Reds whole vibe

[LBiittner]

Do we have a right handed batter worth a horsefeathers?

[LBiittner]

Morgan Fairchild looks like a right hand PCA

Swanson and Happ both crushed the ball, unfortunately, they were both GB's.
