Shuffling bad hitters into a different order doesn't stop them from being bad hitters.

Can they also hire the dude from The Wizard of Oz? 

[Tryptamine]

So they brought up Pedro, why? 

[Geographyhater8888]

8 horsefeathers hits in the last 3 games. 

[UMFan83]

Any chance David Bote is on the roster, just in case?

Keep Nicky Lopez's bench spot warm.

I am usually a funny horsefeathers, but losing is no funny business.

I swear I’ve seen like 15 weak grounders to 3B today. It looks like the same play every time

Outside of moving pca to leadoff,  it wasn't even much of a shuffle, he just dropped Hoerner and Suzuki a couple spots and flipped Busch and Bregman 🙄

Everything I've seen since I turned the game on has been an infield ground ball

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

I wish I could find the Carlos Zambrano "We Stinks" seems very apropos right now

[chibears55]

Hey Bregman got a hit, 2 outs in the 9th but he got a hit

[17 Seconds]

I think Jed may have peaked with last year's 92 wins

[Tryptamine]

This team is just not good. They're a mediocre team that is going to sit somewhere around 80-85 wins.

[UMFan83]

Still 12-11 in our last 23 and 22-14 in our last 38!

[Tryptamine]

Well, tomorrow they should get that run differential back under +20

So if you cant beat one of the worst team in baseball at home,  does that make you one of the worst team in baseball 🤔

Yes.  The Cubs aren’t even the best team in Chicago right now.

[Dfan25]

I picked the dude that pitch againts the Cubs today on fantasy baseball . That’s the only positive about this mess

Right now, we're the worst team.
