Cubs (Imanaga) vs Guardians (Lively): 8/12/24, 5:40pm

[UMFan83]

Ugh that HR shows up at the worst times for Shota. Was always my concern with my enjoyment of him

[Cubbies1996]

This isn’t even Shota’s fault at all. Had to throw 20+ extra pitches to get 5 outs in the inning. ABS system needs to get here 

[Illiterate Scholar]

Cub hitters have been absolutely smoking the ball thru 5.

Because they've been doing it for most of the year. We were sold pitching and defense. How's that looking? Even in this game. Four runs followed. It isn't because it happened once. It happens often enough that we know what they are. Even if we don't want to admit it.

The pitching is fine.

The Guardians were gifted 3 runs by the ump. The Cubs are nearly top third in pitching and defense. It’s the hitting that has hurt them the most.

[Cubbies1996]

Now the Cubs get to deal with the heart of Cleveland’s bullpen 😑😑

[squally1313]

Cubs are 19th in errors going into tonight 

[JHBulls]

This is so annoying. 

[DYMNO]

That was…not great.

[PeanutPunch33]

always 1 step forward and 2 steps back with this team 

[CubinNY]

Went from fun to unfun in a hurry

Do you mean four steps forward one step back?

The umpire wouldn't have mattered if the defense had done their job 

[chibears55]

One missed called 3rd strike to end an inning has turned into a 4 run deficit 🤦‍♂️

[Derwood]

Pearson is an un-serious bullpen option

[CubinNY]

Right handed big poppi who swings like Eloy. 

[squally1313]

Please make them at least consider using a couple of their top 3 bullpen arms. 

[WhyCantWeWin]

Took my dogs for a walk up 3-0 and came back to them getting their backs blown out. See that Paredes made another error 🤔

[JHBulls]

I am going to make a wild statement. Cleveland Guardians are a very good baseball team, 

[JHBulls]

[WhyCantWeWin]

Swanson not sucking has been huge 

[Derwood]

Dansby actually useful this month

[BKHoo]

To make a run you need to win a wild game like this.

Someone still has to suck though, so Beth Mowins has picked up the slack.

Was only 3 minutes into the first inning when she got her first name wrong
