Why dont they just put like 1000 fans on top of the stadium behind home plate to counter act the wind? Is Tom Ricketts stupid

The old Detroit Lions FG booster trick.  I like it.

[UMFan83]

Situational hitting stings us again, not getting that runner in from 3rd

Didn't the Twins get accused of turning some indoor fans on or off depending on if they were batting or fielding in the Metrodome

[BKHoo]

Shaw that was bad. 

[Derwood]

So the Pirates are just randomly bringing in a starting pitcher in the 5th?

This is a league wide problem. A by-product of the modern philosophy of trading K’s for HRs.

Jesus Christ guys I feel like I’ve entered a time warp into 2012. This is modern baseball and it’s been this way for over 30 years. Get over it!

Can we get someone at NASA working on this Wrigley Field wind situation as a top priority?

Just get adjustable baskets out there, when wind is blowing out shorten them, blowing in, then extend them out more..lol

If theyre sneaky enough, they can pull them in when opponents hit and out when cubs hit 🤣

[Soul]

Contreras homers in the 9th Brewers take the lead.  Just have to laugh at this point.

Like turning the AC on and off at the Metrodome!

[Cubbies1996]

Oh good Ben brown is in

[s2obed]

That’s exactly what I said. It isn’t just a Cubs problem. It’s modern baseball.

Time to stop worrying about what the Brewers are doing as far as cubs go, just need to hope the Cubs can figure it out over the final 30-40 games and get positive momentum heading into the playoffs. 

 

[Cubbies1996]

Enough with Ben Brown already. Jesus Christ. Send his ass back to AAA 

[JBears79]

Brown sucks so much

[Derwood]

I hate Ben Brown. 

[SpongeWorthy]

dead ass team

[BKHoo]

Brown sucks. He does not know how to use his pitches. 

[UMFan83]

And the Cubs are losing.  Seems to be our standard LWL series 

[chibears55]

Lmao..

Leave runner stranded on 3B less then 2 outs, and of course Pirates come up and take the lead afterwards. 

 

[BigSlick]

If the Cubs can’t pull out this piddly game and series out at home while the Brewers just make absurd comebacks look easy every single game against the Reds this feels like the kiss of death before next week even begins 

[Eeyore]

Remember when the Cubs were winning?
