Let’s start with what’s going right for the Cubs right now.  
 

 

[Cubbies1996]

I had more fun watching the 2022 Cubs team than this team.

If I want to hear the play by play guy pull for the Braves,  I can watch the Atlanta feed.  Boog sounds delighted every time the Braves score.

Hes a national guy so hes used to just being excited about good baseball being played by any team, part of why I never cared for him getting the cubs PBP job.

This will be 1 less game closer to the end of season for them 🤷‍♂️

Eh, doesn't bother me.  He is a baseball fan first, and that's ok.  Good for him being able to take some enjoyment from the game when the Cubs are playing poorly.

I don’t watch NFL and don’t know how good or bad the Chicago Bears will be this year, but after looking at their record the last few years… you just know your night is most likely horsefeathered even if you flip over from the Cubs to the Bears, anyway.

Brad Elder again? The Cubs just can’t catch a break.

Cubs will not win 90 games this year. Book it.

It doesn’t both me either but it’s kind of funny that he’s completely unable to shut off his national PBP voice

[Papa Cub]

Whelp - Bears and Vikings is looking much more attractive than this game. 
Hope the Cubs can get on track, but it’s a rough going last couple games and seems to be trickling into this one 

[muntjack]

I just don't want to always feel like I'm watching a national feed

[NorthsideAvenger]

Braves gave up 28 runs in the last two games. So naturally they'll shut out the Cubs because baseball is stupid.

Baseball isn't that stupid. The Cubs just don't change their approaches.

We know, but thanks for writing it out.

I get the feeling that sometimes JD misses Len Kasper.

9 and 10 to finish season is likely to happen.

What suckks is that they were 48 and 33 after 81 games on pace for 96 wins so finishing 42 and 39 would be a little bit of a disappointment only because you hoped they would finish strong the last month.

[UMFan83]

Elder with 0 ER, 5 hits and 10 IP in his last 2 games against the Cubs. 

5.85 ERA for the season outside of those games

Probably why he takes alot of time off now..

It either a rookie broadcaster or a guy who talks his ears off with stats and random horsefeathers.

I know im the minority in here and that ok but for me Boog is just annoying to listen to, I prefer someone who embraces my team and calls the game like a real fan of the team.

Still at 99% to make the post season. Gotta get healthy quick!!

No...it's uniquely confounding! That's why these guys will win it all!!
