Jesus Christ Dansby

Swanson should be hitting #9

Swanson...

Least he didn't hit into a DP 🤦‍♂️

Bases loaded for Dansby. Which direction does he aim his grounder?

Grounder? You optimist, you. I guess the silver lining is no double play. 

[DYMNO]

Surely that won’t bite. Right? RIGHT?!

[PeanutPunch33]

disappointing but not surprising

[UMFan83]

Not getting 1 there at least is absolutely killer after the top of the 1st

[Dfan25]

Clutchy Swanson at it again . 

[Eeyore]

Nuffin' 😔

[profisme]

How can he be this incredibly inept as soon as there is a runner in scoring position? It is nearly unfathomable. 

[Geographyhater8888]

Put Kelly back in the 5 hole. At least he has a fielders choice or sacrifice fly in him. 

[chibears55]

Damn, had to get 1 there

Might be becoming mentally for him now, and hes just trying too hard.

That would be the obvious choice, not sure why CC is so set on leaving Swanson in the middle. 

[PeanutPunch33]

Is Danbsy too good to lay down a bunt ever and play some small ball to help the team?  Once some of these guys get a fat contract, they think they are above it 

[CubinNY]

Pat sounds like he has Covid

Then sit him to mentally reset for a game or two. Tired of the same thing every damn game 

[Dfan25]

Nico has a 152 wrc againts lefties folks . He gives you contact in between the guys that strikeout . Just completely perplexed as to why he doesn’t hit in the middle againts lefties .

Againts a righty I sort of understand it .

no question about it 55...he's pressing to say the least. God SAKES Craig, move him down already

[cubfansince77]

Trotting Pom and Flex out instead of starting Wicks is perplexing. You ..brought the guy up: use him fer crissakes

[cubfansince77]

slick Willie gonna make it 5-0....or whiff. Swinging out of his shoes

[DYMNO]

The level of disdain I’ve achieved with Willson is almost shocking. 

[Illiterate Scholar]

Coming into this game, Wicks has given up more runs in 2 MLB innings than Pomeranz + Flexen have in over 50 innings. Take a breath guys. And he's probably going to pitch anyway 

[Hot Sauce]

Busch again! 

[Cubs206]

Busccccchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh gets one back!
