Why do we struggle against such mediocre pitching.  

We’re just in an offensive rut right now. Tough to hit any pitching good or bad at when you are slumping.

Tucker is just a ground ball machine right now

Tucker trying to snap out of it but the baseball gods won't have it

[Dfan25]

Offense ugly as the fog

[Cubfanintheknow]

More than any other team, it seems like the Cubs always play down to the Marlins' level.

 

Frustrating.

Yep pretty deep funk

Hodge is at least looking really good.

I blame the Pope

[Hot Sauce]

Tough play for Seiya.

[profisme]

Eugenio Stowers strikes again. Man am I glad he isn’t on the Brewers or Cards. 

[squally1313]

Robot umps

[UMFan83]

White Sox coming into Wrigley having won 4 of their last 5. 

[JHBulls]

One of those days where you can excuse the lineup. This fog must have been brutal to see at the plate. 

[abuck1220]

8th and 9th innings weren’t particularly impressive 

[Dfan25]

Really fortunate they won that series , because they suck pretty good right now . 

[squally1313]

Bad offense, successful series 

[cl smooth]

*wet fart*

Sorry friends, this one is on me. 

"But you don't even play for the Cubs," you say. You'd be right. 

But I also had one of *those* days, so I couldn't experience joy today. I'll be back on my game Friday, as Kentucky State Testing will be over. Expect a 10 run breakout.

Yes, clearly I'm the main character of the world and everything revolves around me. This is essentially the Truman show.

Yes keep taking 2 of 3 and things will be alright.  What is about the Marlins pitcher getting multiple strikes on obliviously low balls? Many of them not even close.  Think Cubs pitchers got one maybe, two such calls.

I swear I'll make every kid have a lunch detention until I'm having a good day. Just for you.

Ok Article Writers,

 

Tell us what's going on. Dramatic decrease in fastballs? Increase in change ups? What the heck is going on with the offense?

The Cubs had a 100 wRC in May going into today.

That is a huge fall from April. Are you trying to argue its not? The lineup is too good to be collectively slumping like this.

No lineup is too good to collectively slump. Every team does. 

But if the Cubs version of a "slump" is "100 wRC+" they're sitting fairly pretty.
