Watch them bring Mastrobuoni back now

[Tryptamine]

Got away with one on a really good pitch to Busch.

[mfcubs22]

I’ve seen this one before 

[Tryptamine]

of course. 

[DYMNO]

LOL

[Tryptamine]

 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Swanson swings at first-pitch sinkers/pitchers pitches way too often.

[UMFan83]

If you’re a pitcher you can definitely stand to be more selective pitching to Busch when you have 2 of the worst hitters in baseball this season hitting behind him

[Cuzi]

Singles and walks. So many players have to string together something to score a run. Lineup needs thump in the worst way.

[JHBulls]

Dansby Swanson, ladies and gentlemen. The human rally killer.

To be fair, if that ball is hit anywhere but directly at the 2B, it's probably a hit. 

[Cubbies1996]

This team is just a constant kick in the nuts

Such is the plight of the 2024 Chicago Cubs

Exit velocity and xba are dumb imo, especially for groundballs.

These fielders are positioned where hitters are expected to hit the ball 99% of the time

[WhyCantWeWin]

PCA would have caught that

He'll get his chance in the 8th-9th innings, because he can't hit for horsefeathers.

[chibears55]

Likely last inning for Assad, so once again no run support and they turn it over to the bullpen to try and give the bats a chance to score 

[JHBulls]

Yay! Ian Happ is hosting a podcast and charging $30.  I wonder if the speaking Ian Happ is as big of a waste of money as the baseball playing Ian Happ. 

[Irrelevant Dude]

Will the Cubs be the first team to ever have a pregame total runs line set at 1.5?

[Soul]

Every single game is the same.  Really.  It’s baseball Groundhog Day 

[Cubs206]

So frustrating to check the score and see it’s close but they haven’t done anything O wise yet again. What’s that now 3 sub .200 hitters now batting. Smh. So much washed up talent.

You must have missed the runner getting thrown out trying to tag from first to second. That was new!

You're mad at the one guy getting on base?

[squally1313]

These umps are so horsefeathers tiresome

[squally1313]

Guess that’s the 1% of hard hit ground balls where the defense wasn’t perfectly positioned
