How is it possible to be this inept offensively?

…and for this long

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

This guy had a 7 ERA.

[We Got The Whole 9]

My god you'd think theyre facing Mason Miller. They cant do anything with this guy.

 

5 balls in play, none hard, and a strikeout.

Someone has to be fired. I know that's a meatball take, but here we are

I'm sorry, but if they choke again, you've got to completely retool this team. The offense cannot implode 3 years in a row and you Keep, Seiya, Happ, Nico, etc. around and hope for the best. That's the same horsefeathers the Bulls do that leave them mired in mediocirity.

They absolutely will not blow up the team

At least Jed has cushy job security.

They wouldn't get enough back to make blowing it up worthwhile, Nico and Seiya only guys with real value

It’s May of 2024 all over again.

Why are you throwing Nico in there? He’s a glove first, high contact guy and that’s exactly who he’s been. He isn’t being paid to carry the offensive load. 

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

I'm tired, boss.

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? 

When they extended Hoyer, I don't care what anyone says, for me that when the curse started..

😒😒😒

It’s blame it on bad sequencing.

[Derwood]

Tucker's batted bat luck finally balancing out

[Hot Sauce]

Finally! 

[Tryptamine]

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Sweet Jesus it finally happened.

2026 will be the last of Suzuki Happ and Hoerner as they will be in final year of contract. 

[chopsx9]

What just happened?

 

[nihilist]

Brewers on a historic charge, taking 4/5 or sweeping them will change everything, may not affect the division race but will definitely right the ship

[731.4life]

What a dumb mistake by Canario.

[Hot Sauce]

I know today’s baseball fans are dinger obsessed but I love me some ground ball hits. 

[chibears55]

Well that reminded me of pre July cubs hitting. 

Tucker single, steals second then a Zuki rbi knock.

Let Go

 

Good bunt by PCA, we have offense folks🤣

[We Got The Whole 9]

I missed it all. Freaking kids.
