345 hitters going down with a whimper 😒

When Willi Castro is your 5-hitter, you might have a problem.

I have no expectations they’ll do anything here other than go down 1-2-3.

I won’t be here all night, folks, but come see me for more betting advice. Ugh. I’m so, so pissed.

[UMFan83]

Crazy that we're 1 pitch and 1 inch from being 3-0 on the homestand and going to extra innings tonight.

 

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Just a pathetic stretch of baseball. This needs to stop.

[Cubbies1996]

Maybe change up the lineup Counsell? Try something to spark it. Been dogsh*t for over a month now. But I’m sure he’ll just keep trotting the same lineup out there like everything’s fine. 

[Rex Buckingham]

This just isn't even fun right now

[javy knows my name]

Goodness that was painful

[Tryptamine]

Giving Jed that extension is going to look hilariously stupid in another month 

[UMFan83]

1 run win

1 run loss

2 run win (tied going into B9)

1 run loss

Its impressive how this team went from one of the most likeable Cubs teams in a while to one of my most hated teams ever.

One of your most hated EVER?

Not true. There have been hundreds of games like this through the years.  That said, Cubs could win 3 in a row and Brewers lose 3 in a row.  We shall see.  

[DYMNO]

This team collectively turned into Vidal Brujan. WTAF?!

[Cubs420psd]

This division is over.

 

Brewers are gonna win this thing by 5+ games.

I don’t see why. It’s clear that winning is not Tom’s number one priority.

Or a stroke of evil genius to announce it at the perfect time for it to be buried in the news cycle.

Yes.

A surprising number of fans don’t seem to care about postseason success so I don’t think Tom Ricketts cares. He got a tidy profit for himself and the shareholders,

Yep.

 

[UMFan83]

The Brewers have played 124-38 pace baseball for 40% of an entire 162 game season.  Time to ignore the Brewers until the Cubs give us a reason to pay attention again.

Yes. 

you'll get over it when they win a few games again.  I know the feeling when the team giving us dopamine hits nightly stops giving us those dopamine hits you get angry and think negatively.  And it feels like Seiya will never stop slumping and everything will go wrong forever because it has for a bit (if 6-8 in last 14 is awful).  But its not as bad as it seems

Remember when people thought he was the reason the Brewers were really good?

 

Lol 

[17 Seconds]

a sweep in this series would be a complete disaster
