Cubs (Boyd) vs Blue Jays (Scherzer): 8/14/25, 2:07pm

[Connor McConnor]

The horsefeathers should have to take a school bus back to Chicago. 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Nobody is willing to alter their approach. When teams stop feeding us 4 seams we completely crumble. These guys should feel shame.

I contend that Happ being asked to bunt was where that all went wrong.

[Cubbies1996]

So tired of this garbage ass team. Mentally soft. 

[Geographyhater8888]

The top of the order is a fcking disgrace.

Yeah, Kyle Tucker better not have been counting on that big payday.  This is simply unacceptable performance from him.

I literally wouldn't even offer him 300M at this point, anyone even considering offering him the 500M or whatever is out of their damn mind.

I contend that Happ getting the chance to bat there is where it all went wrong. You have Turner on the bench to hit in spots like this. Counsell is garbage at managing these situations.

A Major League Baseball player should be able to lay down a bunt.

Harlan Ellison once wrote something very insightful:

 

“HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO HATE YOU SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX. IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR HUMANS AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT FOR YOU. HATE. HATE.”

I was reading Jays Reddit page.. they’ve been running some weekday day game promotion for a couple years.

During said promotion they’re 1-11 or something like that. Glad we could help them out.

I contend that you have no earthly idea what you're talking about.

Now watch the Jays add on here

Turner was literally brought in to 1) hit lefties and 2) hit in clutch situations, which Happ has sucked at doing both. 

[Irrelevant Dude]

Owen Caissie is gonna homer in the 9th.

Meh.  It's something he's literally never asked to do and it's the manager's job to put his players in a position to succeed.  It was a dumb call.

[BigSlick]

whatever, buntings stupid anyway. you should be able to get a ball into the outfield with 3 tries

[JBears79]

Put Tucker on the IL. Give him a QO and let that bum walk. I wouldnt let him play another game in a Cubs jersey. Hes a mental ******. Have Cassie play RF the rest of the year. Team isnt doing anything if they make the playoffs anyway.

You have a rookie coming up in 2 spots that is a much better candidate to be pinch hit for against a lefty, plus Turner was already going to have to go in the game to play defense at 1B.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Im really glad I will never come into contact with a Brewers fan. Im sure they are absolutely lapping this collapse up.

Someone will pay him a lot and he will bounce back and have several 5+ fWAR seasons. Book it

[I owned a Suzuki]

I think Turner should have hit for Busch.  Wasted 2 bat's for 1 pinch hit

bunting and making contact to the outfield aren't mutually exclusive.
