Really frustrating, all three of these Astros' pitchers are extremely hit-able and throwing some meatballs the Cubs can't touch.

Seiya needs to see the bench for a while.

Is this a new thing? He was always attacked with sliders away on 2 strike counts but lately he’s being pounded by sliders in the strike zone no matter what the count is. He’s like the real life Pedro Serrano.

Of course GIDP with the tying run on. Ramirez is now a Cub

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

sucking and being cursed at the same time is a rough combo

[Geographyhater8888]

The bullpen has been lights out too this week.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

2 bloop hits in pretty much the same spot, difference in the game

[UMFan83]

Another RBI bloop hit with 2 outs. The Cubs luck is BRUTAL lately in addition to playing poorly.

Yep. If those are blooped to fielders for outs that’s 5 runs off the board. 

[Illiterate Scholar]

8 runs with an xBA of .199. Sure

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

nate pearson is closing for the Astros, good god

[JHBulls]

You would think we were about to get swept against an Astros team whilst in their ‘playing in a World Series every other year’ era.

Fake rally time

[UMFan83]

PCA doesn’t challenge a clear ball on 3-0 in the 9th inning down 3. I know they only have one left but at this point you aren’t going to have many more chances to challenge calls

Of all the sports to have an interest in, horsefeathers Baseball. I am even from a country where this stupid sport is ranked behind Lawn Bowls, whatever the hell “Raygun” did at the Olympics and tenpin bowling in terms of popularity. This really can’t be good for my long term health. 

Anyway, see you all tomorrow.

Swept by the fukn Astros

8 in a row, 12 of 14

They suck

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Yeah, this is the last game I'm gonna follow pitch-by-pitch for awhile. One can only take so much

[abuck1220]

gotta admit nate horsefeathers pearson locking down the 8th straight L is kinda funny 

[Derwood]

[jersey cubs fan]

this years team trying to figure out the best way to maximize fan disappointment 

[chibears55]

They went from winning 15 in a row at home to losing 6 in a row

[UMFan83]

xBA on the Busch lineout: .710

xBA on Ramirez’s 8th inning GIDP: .500

Baseball sucks sometimes
