Cubs (Rea) vs Brewers (Priester): 7/29/25, 6:40pm

This team really needs someone to go off in the clubhouse, do they have a true leader?

 

Im done, im gonna go watch the last 4 episodes of the vikings 

[Irrelevant Dude]

Take your time Jed.

[Rex Buckingham]

At this point, I feel like a trade has to be made just to shake something up in that clubhouse

[Hot Sauce]

The weak bench has finally caught up with this team. Tucker, PCA, Seiya have all played nearly everyday.

I was told the bench wasn't important because of the DH 🤷‍♂️

Pretty much nightmare scenario . They will try to avoid a sweep against Peralta  . Good luck with that .

Yes, it is a problem.  There isn't a single legitimate spot starter on the bench.  If only there was money under the luxury tax that could have been used to solve that problem.

At this point I want to see Caissie come up push Happ to the bench.

They could have also used it on actual pitchers and bullpen help instead of assembling a bullpen from guys that should be on the couch somewhere like everyone has been saying for years. Instead were stuck with a bullpen full of "reclamation projects" that throw 92

That $40 million they slashed in the offseason definitely would’ve come in handy.

[Cubbies1996]

Willing to bet Priester isn’t coming back into the game next inning due to all the traffic they’ve had on the bases because the Brewers actually have a smart manager 

[Soul]

Had a feeling we wouldn’t fare any better than other teams playing the Brewers.  They’re just overall good and firing on all cylinders.

[JHBulls]

The best thing that happened to the Chicago Cubs supporters. The 2016 World Series.

The worst thing that has happened to Chicago Cubs supporters wanting a legitimate contender moving forward. The 2016 World Series.

The Rickets family are satisfied they’ve given the supporters what they wanted. Now they can be cheap and smaller market than the Brewers.

Surprised the baseball Gods didn’t let us tie it before pissing it all away.

[Geographyhater8888]

Way to redeem yourself PCA. This is a mentally tough team. You have to give them that. 

[Derwood]

Amazing how our lineup of all stars is playing with their sphincters clenched while this Milwaukee team of fuckin' nobodies is lax and easy going and casually hitting rockets all over the place

[Hot Sauce]

Lost in all of this is how great Nico has been over the last several weeks, 

[JHBulls]

Ian, you’ve had your breather… now do something.

[PeanutPunch33]

[Soul]
