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

 

Taylor McGregor?

[Derwood]

1 hit through 5 cool cool cool

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

So this guy has basically gone through the lineup 5 times in a row and given up 0 ER. Lol.

[Neuby]

Shaw is due.

He’s coming off a great start of 7 innings and zero earned runs. We caught him a bad time.

Here comes Seiya.😁

[mk49]

PCA should have bunted.

[Cubbies1996]

God forbid you take a pitch there when’s he’s struggling for the first time. This team’s baseball IQ is near 0. 

[UMFan83]

Well it took 14 innings and for him to not even be in the game anymore but the Cubs have given Elder an ER

This could be just the spark the offense needs.

I wish he had stayed in as we were finally solving him.

Palencia was clearly gassed. Hope this gives him some rest. Assuming Kittredge gets the save opps. Maybe Rogers, who has closing experience. 

Does Kittredge still have an option for next year? I'd hope we pick it up. 

And I'd rather see Alcantara in CF than Castro but what do I know.

I noted it in the game thread. You could see him tweak the shoulder. It was more than gassed. He had been pitching injured for awhile.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Maybe they are finally collapsing. This offense is absolutely horrible right now.

[Soul]

It’s just another limp dick performance from an offense that died after the AS break.

[JHBulls]

Cubs fan returning to their seat all geared up that it’s a close game and excitedly anticipating a 9th inning comeback 

[PackLandVA]

Would missing the playoffs really be all that bad? Asking for a friend.

[UMFan83]

5-8 in our last 13 yikes

[Irrelevant Dude]

5 hits should have been enough. Come on, pitchers.

That would be an epic meltdown. It’s almost impossible to miss the playoffs right now. 

[cubfansince77]

Brutal....losing a series to the mighty Nats and now going belly up against the Braves. Feel like we're circling the drain boys.

[BKHoo]

Wow Bears folding.

We should have a drunk thread.  It would be entertaining.

8 games up with 18 to play. Very unlikely but with how this team is playing lately you never know. FG still has them at 99.6%
