They’re actually not too bad, but things are highly in their favor, so 🤷‍♂️

Hit reset and hope for better tomorrow. This is rough.

Not going to care about the Cubs till after the NFL Draft. Hopefully by then they can get out of spring training mode and into regular season mode.

Baseball is a fascinating sport. 

In any other sport, getting blown out or losing at all would irritate supporters of that team. Not baseball though, it’s expected that you're going to lose a lot more games every month than in any other sport and you move on quickly to the next days game. “It’s just one loss…”

[Irrelevant Dude]

Of course Kingery comes up to bat wearing #12 against the Phillies, just to put more salt in the wound 

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Glad I turned this off after Shaw let the ball drop in the OF.

Dude has probably found himself sitting next to Bill Burr.

Is Amaya to 1st base Craig Counsell’s “we have horsefeathers all depth” move? 

[gflore34]

Wow PCA actually put the ball in play and I missed it!  Really wanted to see if he could manage, at least, 20 consecutive swings and misses.

The guy that was supposed to be the backup at 1st was hurt before he played a ST game.

This inning feels like the final inning of a little league game where we put the kids who never play infield in the infield because it doesn't matter anymore.

[JHBulls]

Hey, if we hit a GS here… only 6 runs down.

I was thinking walk-ons in basketball, but yeah, same

[JHBulls]

These days the Mendoza Line gets you paid over $100 million, so don’t knock it. 

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

The ball Pete hit looks like it bounced on gameday 

[Irrelevant Dude]

Kingery got all of that one... and by "all of it" I mean he hit it in the air to third base, because that may be the furthest we ever see him hit a ball.

[JHBulls]

Dude in the crowd with the biggest beard anyone has ever seen doesn’t look impressed. And that’s pretty scary. 

[mk49]

Hey, at least, they scored 7 runs.😁

[cl smooth]

happ with a wet fart of an at-bat. 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Well that sure was a way to end a rally

[gflore34]

WTF Happ, at least one of those pitches was a ball.

[chibears55]

I see they got the 5 runs back they gave up in the 5th 🙄🙄

[gflore34]

Is it me or is Realmuto challenging a pitch that last inning kind of a dick head move?  Appears Dansby was having some words with him.

Absolutely no power from the guys who carried the lineup last year. Wake the horsefeathers up Bregman.

Don't look now, but Ballasteros is leading the team in batting average and OPS.
