Brett has picked up my "zero batted bat luck" stance

[Cubbies1996]

I get they’re making better contact but good lord make Scherzer work a little!

Since Scherzer is dominating us right now, I'm going to think back to the time he came in during Game 5 of the 2017 NLDS, the Nats fans were all acting like the Cubs were screwed, and the Cubs put up like 4 runs on him en route to winning.

Problem may be the bats, those guys can give QS but the bats may just continue to suck against opponents top 3 starters.

They really need Happ Zuki Tucker and PCA to catch fire and be hitting for the playoffs 

Eh. I'm much more inclined to believe that what we've seen since July 1 from Boyd and Horton is indicative of future performance than I am on the hitting side.

So, am I supposed to care about that

Yeah.  You don't know the guy, it's not a nickname used by anyone that's familiar with him or the team, and it feels disrespectful.

this team is allergic to building any kind of momentum game to game

They have an xBA of .300 today, not much else you can do.

Hit it over the damn fence.

So is Boyd.  4 innings in 45 minutes.

[PackLandVA]

Scherzer is gonna pitch a "Maddux", isn't he?

i'd laugh for 24 straight hours if he does

[squally1313]

This is a bad take, they should be able to flex out of the pitch clock in situations like this.

Dansby continues to swing through center cut fastballs

Boyd has 39 pitches through 4 as well.

[Outshined_One]

I know the Cubs are struggling offensively, but let's not take it out on each other.

[mul21]

Man, Scherzer still has some jump on the fastball up in the zone.  He's made a couple guys look silly on that already.

[Michael Busch Light]

I never would have thought Boyd would pitch like this while the offense would go in the toilet again.  Weird year.

He's not facing the Cubs "hot mess" offense.

The Blue Jays scored 1 run off a rookie yesterday and have 1 run since Assad left the game Tuesday.
