Pirates (Ashcraft) vs Cubs (Cabrera): 4/11/26, 1:20pm

[Brandon Glick]

Truly one of the Cubs games of all time yesterday. Just a masterclass in how to blow a masterpiece performance. Can't wait to see what Craig Counsell has drawn up for today.

No Seiya in the lineup?  Hopefully, he's OK.

Craig said yesterday he wouldn't play every day immediately

Oh, OK.  Thanks.

If they can figure out how to get 3 runs today, I like their chances 🙄

[Crusader]

Does anyone else get Darvish vibes from Cabrera?

[javy knows my name]

Way to pitch around the effective double!

[Gjfificifjdej]

Im kinda speechless at how atrocious the lineup has been so far. Feels like game over if this run gets across. 

[JHBulls]

If Ozuna is going to walk to first base, I would have preferred if he was hit in the face with a fast ball. Would have been worth the ejection. 

[chibears55]

Those are some pretty bad numbers in this lineup 😳 

 

[Gjfificifjdej]

Front office made a bet in the winter that the lineup’s performance in the second half last year wasn’t what they actually are. I guess they were technically right, they aren’t even close that good this year lol.

I have faith that Bally will hit plenty.  He is just so natural at the plate.  Wish he wasn't built like a Hershey's kiss, but it is what it is.

Cubs score a damn run this weekend challenge

Happ will hit a solo shot when it doesn't mean anything.

How bad will it be for Hoyer if they just win 75-80 games this season mainly because of struggling bats

 

[javy knows my name]

I believe this game to be over 

[chibears55]

Cabrera not sharp today, bats still sucks

Yeh April really good gonna be a gut punch for this team

I was hoping my 75 win offence comment would prove to be an overreaction but I am very concerned. This game is already over, we won’t score 3 or 4 all series, let alone this game. Just a crazy pathetic lineup, zero signs of life.

Remember when baseball was fun

[Derwood]

What an annoying inning. 

[javy knows my name]

Fuckin rockets 

[JHBulls]

Good catch to get on of the inning with no further damage done. 

[Derwood]

That could have been so much worse
