Those last two pitches to Tucker would have a strike for Happ

Brilliant Javy Baez impression there.

[Eeyore]

That first pitch that Swanson swung at would have been a ball to Eddie Gaedel

[chibears55]

PCA with a whiffle ball single 😅

Damn Nico give him a chance to steal a base

[DYMNO]

Well, Brown looks like horsefeathers so far. Hope he turns it around quickly here.

[Derwood]

Brown needs to go to AAA and figure out that third pitch. Sucks that the starter depth sucks so bad that we can’t afford to do that. 

[WhyCantWeWin]

Starting pitching is floundering 

[gflore34]

The walks to minimal hitters like Espinal are what drive me nuts.  Of course, Brown can't locate any of his pitches which is really the problem.

[Derwood]

Brown sucks so bad. Y’all need to stop rationalizing it. 

[Geographyhater8888]

Sick and tired of watching him labor through every inning and forcing the offense to put up a 10 spot to feel safe.

[JHBulls]

This is so horsefeathers annoying. 

[chibears55]

Hope everyone enjoyed that 2 run lead, it now a 2 run deficit 🙄

Already hit that number 4 and it just the first inning

Poor McGuire should’ve stopped that past ball.

I agree, but I can’t get over the glimpses that show he has SOMETHING. But he can’t be trying to figure that out at the major league level. Send him down, have him work on a third pitch, and if he stills sucks, he still sucks.

[WhyCantWeWin]

Yeah i think it may be time to move Brown to the bullpen. But theres no one to take his spot in the rotation 

[abuck1220]

you guys are all annoyed by brown sucking, but I find cohen gushing about brown like he’s horsefeathers bob feller as he adds to his 6.00 era to be even more annoying.

Send them both to Iowa

I’d sign that petition. 

[gflore34]

Cubs aren't done scoring, can Brown manage a few scoreless innings?

[Geographyhater8888]

Is Busch out with an oblique injury or does Counsel still refuse to give his every day first basemen abs vs lefties?

[chibears55]

Mentioned the other day, I know it too soon for a significant trade but damn it going to be tough winning games going forward til July with this rotation and bullpen. 

Be great but these bats just aren't going to keep scoring 5+ to bail them out

He'll be the one going down with Horton staying up when Imanaga returns 

[DYMNO]

Ok, I’m not gonna lie, if they are gonna suck today, I’d like to see Brujan have to catch. 

[DYMNO]

Reese really gave that a tug. 😉
