Is it blowing out?  I think it is a crosswind and in a little when hit to right. Not really a factor. 

Maybe I got bad information. Won’t make a horsefeathers of a difference anyways.

Burrows has pitched a nice game.

True. They aren’t hitting again anyway. That is the biggest point.

Man, it feels so much longer. Maybe I was conflating the struggles of Seiya, PCA, and Tucker together. That adds up to two months, right?

Right, once July 1st came around it just feels like the entire offense went down the drain together but outside of a couple guys who has spiral since around July 1st, it been a mix bag of guys slumping with them.

Why this team has gone from scoring 5 or more runs every other game to barely getting 3 or 4 runs in any games the last month.

It had to have been the Ballestaros rbi double on Milwaukee the day after Sandberg passed. I’m drawing a blank after that. 

I think you are right. That's insane. They've had a lot of opportunities. 

[Rcal10]

I feel like this team needs someone to get a big hit and it will loosen up the team. You will see them start hitting again. Even when they win, they are not scoring runs. This needs to stop very soon. 

[Tryptamine]

How is it possible to be this inept offensively?

[Cubbies1996]

There’s just no words anymore. Someone has to be fired for this slump happening again

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

God we suck.

.233 and .223 risp June and July respectively, looking below Mendoza so far in August, sweeping the brewers is the medicine, however far fetched right now 

[chibears55]

Wash Rinse Repeat 

Same crap, get guys on base, then nothing but weak outs.

It like they take turns ending any potential rallies

Haven't seen Dustin Kelly much in the dugout , not like the first couple months when they were hitting and he was greeting everyone at the steps after they scored. 

😑😑😑

[Cubbies1996]

Come on Shota. You cannot walk Joey Bart, of all people. Make him hit. 

[chibears55]

Waiting for Imanaga to give up that 2nd run now, it'll be something stupid like a blooper

[Max Power]

The starting pitching has been so damn good.

[BigSlick]

You’re simply not allowed to blow this many runners in scoring position no out situations - it’s a hateful hateful thing to do. And you get, rightfully, punished for it.

 

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Come on, do something 

[Geographyhater8888]

The last time either Boyd or Shota won a start was that 10-3 win on July 30th at Milwaukee. They’ve pitched so winnable winnable games too.

Let Go You Jack Asssessss

Quit wasting good starting pitching 

[Hot Sauce]

No more guest conductors please. Just put Harry on the video board. It’s one of the perks of having it. That was, like most of the guest conductors, awful!

[JHBulls]

In the last five games, plus 6 innings today, Cubs have scored 11 runs. 

Brewers scored 10 only yesterday (and 58 runs in their last 6 games).

Where did it all go wrong? 

[Tryptamine]

If this offense was even mediocre since the ASB the playoffs are damn near locked up at this point.

[s2obed]

I’d be putting Caissie in this lineup everyday. Until these guys figure it out, I’d rotate them out to get his bat in there.
