Cardinals (Gibson) vs Cubs (Wicks): 6/14/24, 1:20pm

[LBiittner]

Gibson 88 pitches thru 7

[Tryptamine]

Well, on the plus side Gibson probably isn't getting a complete game. So that's something I guess.

[Geographyhater8888]

I love the the consistency of our boys. Do the Cards take a 3-0 lead scoring their go ahead runs in the 8th or 9th?

He could if he pitches and finishes the 8th and gives up a run lol

[LBiittner]

Who had wesneski in the pool?

[LBiittner]

Ha

[Tryptamine]

And that's going to do it. 

[Andy]

Wesneski gives up a homer to the first batter a lot, it feels like.

And of course it's a basket shot after like 3 Cubs balls were hit just as hard with no results.

[UMFan83]

4 runs or less in 11 of the last 12 games against teams that arent last in their league in team ERA.

I know, I know, those count, whatever lol

[LBiittner]

Wes not fooling them

[Rex Buckingham]

1st HR of the season for that dude!

[JHBulls]

“Just a mistake by Hayden Wesneski.” It’s amazing how often we hear that. 

[Cubbies1996]

Like clockwork Hayden gives up a home run to take the lead 😂😂.

And yet we keep losing and I keep reading that its not the bullpen's fault, its not the offense's fault, not the starter's fault.  Defense and baserunning play a part but (probably) not to the degree the other 3 do.  Are we just getting incredibly unlucky?  This is a serious question.

Yes, theyre just an unlucky team for 7 weeks straight.

🤷‍♂️

[abuck1220]

wesneski is pretty good, but boy does he love giving up some game losing homers.

[Geographyhater8888]

The cubs biggest issue is that they’re way too consistent 

[PeanutPunch33]

Wesneski is a horsefeathers SCRUB 

[731.4life]

I do believe there are more hitters sitting on that slider/sweeper from Hayden.

You're not wrong. I don't know that I've ever seen a team be bad in pretty much the exact same way for as long as this one has.

[JHBulls]

Even pink hat dude knows this is over and he has season tickets. 😂 

[GoCubsGo1978]

Someone on here called it!  Wesneski for the loss.

his season numbers are fine. He gives us too many HRs, but overall he's fine. It's just that there is absolutely no margin for error with this offense

[Tryptamine]

The guy who hit the HR has a .495OPS after the HR, lol

[Geographyhater8888]

Starting pitching wins championships. Unless of course you’re the Cubs where you lose 2/3 games with great performance after great performance.

Is that strike out 4 or 5 outside of the zone?

I bet when a batter swings at one and misses and ask the ump if that was a strike,  ump probably says no it was way outside.

😅
