Personally not a fan of booing our players for any reason. Save that nonsense for blowhards like Cardinals fans. 

Yea, if "booing" made the hitters hit, well, oh horsefeathers it never mind.

Fans ultimately pay their salaries there, “guy”

You're definitely not his mother so just stop talking and let the grownups talk

Fans buy tickets, they don't pay salaries.  You have no control over the team, or what they do with it.  Neither do I.  None of us do, or ever will.  If you ever get pulled over, tell a cop that you pay his salary and see how well that works.

All of this "coddling" talk isn't grownup talk...it's junior high silliness.  Booing does nobody any good.  Nobody has ever started playing better because they were booed.  

[Andy]

Well, that's that for this game.

[CubinNY]

anyone else having problems with MLB.TV

[profisme]

This team frustrates on every level at the moment. 

[BigSlick]

lmao what a bunch of losers

[Ding Dong Johnson]

And my marquee sub has been cancelled.

[UMFan83]

Now there is the Brewers offense that I've seen the last couple months.  Squibber down the line, thrown away for a run scoring error.

I'm anti-booing on the principle of your last sentence, but bringing up Tucker's impending free agency wasn't going to get the point across. If Tucker doesn't stop sucking patootie pretty soon, whether he wants to deal with Cubs fans or not will be the least of his free agency issues.

It's how they scored every fucking game during that win streak. Just the luckiest breaks 

[ILMindState]

Such a Brewers way to score

[UMFan83]

LOL yeah great call ump, you moron.

[Connor McConnor]

Not even a false rally to get really pissed about in the last month or so.  At least they have spared us that kick in the balls. 

[Soul]

Maybe just root for the Brewers. This is hard to watch.

Fans are the consumers, in this bad, tortured analogy. If I buy a cheeseburger at McDonalds, do I have the right to boo or yell at the kid working the register for not hustling? I mean, my money pays his salary right? Or would that just make me an a bad person, hypothetically.

Guys stop complaining, this team was in first place a few month’s ago. We should be happy with this product and not complain one bit

Yes. The Chicago Cubs are playing on it.

So you’re a “power of positive thinking “ 💭 kinda guy? Cool - then there’s reality. When people play like trash or don’t produce at their “jobs” whatever that may be it’s okay to tell them they’re not getting the job done.

They have a coach that is incompetent and says things like “everything is fine” when clearly it’s a cluster. 
 

Tucker dragging his backside to first base feeling sorry for himself is unacceptable. Period. You hear fans boo Hoerner? Nope - wanna know why? The guy plays with heart and is team oriented. Tucker is not that guy and fans want his effort. A coach with balls would want the same. So you keep up your positive energy bud - I’ll keep it real and honest here

Yep....offensively impotent again....can't get one GD thing going against Peralta, a guy who isn't overwhelming. Now we have to rely on Taillon not to get swept. I'm oozing with confidence. 

[Cubbies1996]

This team is effing pathetic.

Robo umps can’t come quick enough. If not so we can move on from the useless human umpires, then so that little horsefeathers in St Louis loses out on the career he wants in the future. Win-win.

Hey they had the bases loaded and 1 out earlier and a 3-2 count on Caissie.  You can guess how that ended. (swinging strikeout on ball 4 and a weak flyout)

We’re only a few more whiny complaints away from turning this thing around. Don’t give up now!
