Paredes benched for Wisdom, let that sink in

[Tank]

Seems as if every time I have a free schedule and an opportunity to watch a full game its Assad on the mound.

Paredes badly needs a day off

Good timing because the team needs a day off from his 67 wRC+ and .260 wOBA if they hope to score today

[PackLandVA]

Small sample size, but Paredes is 4 for 11 with a dinger against Schmidt. Maybe tomorrow instead?

[Tank]

Seeing Kerry at Wrigley will never not give me the feels.

[Tryptamine]

3 Hits over the last 13 innings. That's pretty good. 

[Tank]

Good stuff by Assad today. 

[Derwood]

Cubs really gonna just not score this series?

Looks worse in person,

[UMFan83]

Cubs are averaging 3 runs per game over their last 4 games.   Of course those 12 runs were scored in 1 game with the other 3 being shutouts but still!

[UMFan83]

This plus the sobering Michigan beat down plus the USMNT losing to Canada = 🤮 

Caleb and the Bears better ball out tomorrow 

[JHBulls]

The 9th inning went the same way as the previous 8 innings.

Team trying to get all the BABIP regression they owe from the last two weeks out of the way in a few days.  Smart.

Wow. I knew the offense would come crashing down to earth but 3 shutouts in one week? Just win 20/20 and our playoff odds are almost a sure thing. Craig Counsell is magic in September or something.

[Cuzi]

Cubs are just making sure to look as bad as possible in front of Soto. Playing the role of bug repellent. You dont want to come here.

[WhyCantWeWin]

Buschs numbers coming cratering back down. Expected given his sky high k% and unsustainably high babip? Cant outperform those periphs forever ol boy

[Tryptamine]

5 hits in 18 innings. Even the most optimistic must realize it's season over at this point.

Seems reasonable given how much he was striking out, even when he was getting more frequent hits.  He swings and misses or fouls off way too many hittable balls.

Yep, him and Paredes haven't quite changed my mind about them the last month.

 

[Stratos]

At least we can hit the Pirates.  This team is cooked.
