Cubs (Wesneski) vs Giants (Birdsong): 6/26/24, 8:45pm

[JHBulls]

I enjoy wasting 3 hours of my time every day watching this team. 

[UMFan83]

And Happ is picked off to end the 8th lol. Did they just give up at this point?

[abuck1220]

dumbest horsefeathers team I’ve ever seen

[mfcubs22]

Good thing the offense is so good that they can overcome giving away free outs on the bases

[Chicago Al]

Protect the plate with 2 strikes guys, we all learned this in little league…

[UMFan83]

Yes Miles Mastorbuoni, that’ll save us 

[UMFan83]

Is it bad that I’m upset Swanson wasn’t picked off to end the game?

[PeanutPunch33]

haha

[Derwood]

Is that 4 in a row? I don't even care anymore

[Cubbies1996]

Hey guys remember…the answers are within this current team! No need to worry! 

[chibears55]

Get good bullpen but not enough offense   

Lol

[JHBulls]

Can the “cup of coffee” prospects come up in July? 

[We Got The Whole 9]

This team is overwhelmingly stupid. You cannot make this many base running blunders. Dudes need to start getting fined game checks when they get picked off. The amount of outs we make on the bases is totally inexcusable, and we have made the 3rd out at 3rd way, way too many times.

You know that if the Cubs managed to take the lead in the late innings the pen absolutely would have blown it

[Cubs206]

There is an extreme lack of accountability, no leadership and poor coaching

So they're good at taking walks and stealing bases, and that's about it. A climbing K% and no SLG to speak of. 

Yeah they can't actually hit the baseball.

Well in Happ's defense the team can't hit so they might as well try to steal their way home.

[Stratos]

I like watching PCA play baseball.

2 pages? LOL. That is all I need to know on how it went last night.

Good to see Mastrobuoni get an appearance last night. His wRC+ on the season is a whopping 7.

There’s definitely no one in Iowa that can or has outperformed that this season

I didn't even realize he was back on the roster until he stepped up to the plate.  Apparently he's been back up for over a week?  And Tauchman is on the IL? No wonder I havent seen much from him recently.

 

Miles Mastrobuoni on 5/11/24 in a game started by Paul Skenes: 

3-4

1 BB

1 2B

1 RBI

2 runs scored

 

Miles Mastrobuoni in 2024 outside of the 5/11/24 game:

2-39

4 BB

0 XBH

1 RBI

3 runs scored

.051/.140/.051/.191

I know its a small sample size of 43 PA or whatever and you cant just remove a player's best game, but a .191 OPS for him this season outside of that one magical afternoon is incredible in the most negative way possible.

I couldn't believe Mastro was used as a pinch hitter in the 9th last night.   That's an organizational failure.

I was told bench guys don't matter 🤷‍♂️
