Only time that Swanson is a good hitter is with the bases loaded

If they come back and win this one,  just hand them the trophy 🤣😂

Likely see Velasquez finish this one off

To save the win? Cubs are coming back, baby

[Eeyore]

That's Cub

[JHBulls]

This team just refuses to give up. 

[CUBDOM4life]

Pete 😞 

[Papa Cub]

Pete 😩🤦‍♂️

[chibears55]

Need to get something out of this

[Illiterate Scholar]

That's not an AB Pete should've been allowed to take. Even if matchups later require Suzuki or Conforto in CF, gotta chase runs here

I looked past it when he was a Cub, but... Kyle Tucker - Worst beard in sports?

Will Klein has put his hand up as a contender.

Absolutely , Shaw should have pinch hit there . PCA has absolutely no business hitting against a lefty in a game defining AB .  That’s absolutely on Craig .
 

I think he has done an outstanding job so far considering everything . That wasn’t a good decision , unless Shaw is hurt or not available

Hindsight is a great thing. PCA started the winning rally last night against Scott with a line drive hit to right. They weren’t taking him out tonight. And shouldn’t have. 

[mk49]

It's hard to believe it's still 6th inning.

[Derwood]

Is there a stat for "completely non-competitive at bats"? PCA would be a league leader

[Dfan25]

Whatever , get them tomorrow 

[Papa Cub]

Had their shot that last inning. Regroup for tomorrow

I really don’t care if he started a rally last night . We have a larger sample than one AB,  that’s says he absolutely sucks againts lefties . 
 

it’s ok to criticize when they made dumb decisions .

Down 4 vs tie game is not the same.

That said, I'm very open to a "showing confidence in Pete" argument for a game in April.

But we also actually have a good bench now. 

[UMFan83]

What’s worse than watching the Cubs get blown out? Watching the Cubs get blown out while watching Fox News gush over Trump 

[chibears55]

Assad taking the beating tonight, he'll be IL or sent down tomorrow so they can bring up another reliever. 

[Papa Cub]

There ya go - one way to clear the bases
