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

Yep, he didn't suddenly forget how to play baseball in his prime.  There's obviously something wrong.

Hey Cubs, can you at least have a team fight in the dugout. At least give us Cubs fans something entertaining to watch?

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Hoping for a leadoff double so we can strand it.

I HATE when players do this. They think they are helping the team by playing "through it" but they, more times than not, are hurting the team than helping. 

Obviously there is something wrong with Tucker. Put his butt on the IL and let Cassie and Suzuki alternate between RF/DH until he comes back.

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

Or make contact in those situations

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.

Does seem crazy in a 1 run game that should have been tied, counsel as out of sorts as the bats 

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Closer has a 4.41 era..?? We are toast.

[British Cub]

How can our top players stay this cold for this long 😐 tucker looks like he has the weight of the world on his shoulders. Another wasted pitching gem

[muntjack]

He got real antsy there.

[squally1313]

Nico is comfortably my favorite player since the WS team

[profisme]

this team cannot hit a fastball down the middle

It's on counsell to sit him if he's injured. 

But if he's not, why keep him as an open wound in the middle of the lineup. Bat him 9th and take off the pressure

[Eeyore]

Dansby = The most clutch hitter in the history of clutch hitters. 

[chibears55]

IDK, maybe it was better not having Nico in scoring position with Swanson up

🙄🙄🙄🙄

[We Got The Whole 9]

Castro has been a total dud.

 

This pitching staff did not deserve to lose this series. I hate this offense so much right now. Despicable.

[Derwood]

If Dansby does anything but K here I will be shocked

[chibears55]

2-0 to 2-2 after Nico gets to second..lol

[profisme]

horsefeathers this team.
