Sorry your butt hurt

Can we not

I hope SEA goes stone cold for the next couple of weeks.

 

[Illiterate Scholar]

Haha, I actually feel a little bad for Pearson here when you know you're on a plane back to Des Moines no matter how good this second inning is (which is off to a bad start)

[JHBulls]

As crappy as most ML umpires are, it’s even worse. Most of them have incredibly thin skin.

Our backup catcher was the best hitter in baseball for like 6 weeks dude 

That's true, Kelly is a scrub, maybe slightly better than a scrub, though he's not quite as bad as Mastrobuoni or Solano.

[CUBDOM4life]

Miles Masterboner has reached base 4 horsefeathers times today. That’s prolly more than his entire Cubs tenure

The guy they pulled up from Iowa just hit his 4th HR and has a .773 OPS for them so far.

Gets tossed from game for asking for time out 😅

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Can we get a do-over on the Genesis for Pearson move?

[squally1313]

Other guy: this is the worst pitching performance in baseball’s storied history

me: I don’t know man, there were some obviously unique circumstances going on here, we’ve been pretty good all year 

Other guy: I hope your life gets better, homophobic slur

2 things: seen and been to plenty of games at Wrigley with the wind blowing out but I've never personally witnessed pitching as bad as this weekend....deal with it. Secondly, people come onto sports message boards to vent and make simple observations, not because they 'hate' the team. Sorry your butt hurt that our team sucks the last week or so. Hope life (and the Cubs) get better for you. Buck up buttercup.

He’s here to keep us haters in check. If you were to point out Carson Kelly’s 11/103 slump over last 25 or so games, you’re just a hater for bringing that up because he hit for the cycle vs the A’s in march.

I know they want to get all 8 runs back, but please save some runs for tomorrow Cubs.

He isn’t a scrub. He is a solid backup catcher. The key words there are “back up catcher”. If he hits .230-.240 with 10 homers in limited play he is a solid backup catcher up.

You know it's been a craptacular weekend on the mound when those two first ballot HOF'ers torch you

I checked, last season, summing hits and BB's - 26, so, it's close.

Would love to meet this person during the playing of the national anthem and ask who Jose is? See the reaction I get. 

[squally1313]

Donovan Solano career wRC: 98

carson Kelly career wRC: 89

I’m with squally on this one. I genuinely wonder how some of daily doom-and-gloomers manage to survive their day to day lives when they can’t handle their favorite baseball team having a bad series.

*9 pages of whining from the usual suspects.*
 

squally: it’s one series with the wind howling out. the cubs are actually pretty good.

 

random dude: hey, buck up, buttercup.

 

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Lighten up Franci....wait, don't wanna be 'homophobic'.  My god you're fragile. As Cubs fans we have to have rhino skin man: you should know that....lofl. It's a MESSAGE board fer crissakes, it will be ok bubby. There, the game is over: they can't hurt you any more

[Illiterate Scholar]

Alex, I feel like we can describe Tucker's performance this series better than "starting to heat up" when he has like a .920 OPS on the season

This guy seems cool

[chibears55]

Ok, goodbye Raleigh, go hit 40 more homers the rest of year and mostly against the other NL teams, especially against the Brewers and Cardinals when you play them.
