Cubs (Brown) vs Pirates (Mlodinski): 5/25/26, 12:35pm

[We Got The Whole 9]

I cannot believe this team is about to lose its 9th straight game. Gotta believe they'd be the first team to have 2 10- game win streaks and a 10 game losing streak before the end of May.

How would you rate Hoyer top FA signings..

Taillon, Imanaga, Swanson, Maton, Bellinger,  Bregman 

They’re fine. It’s the lack of top end draft and development

Jim Deshaies played 12 major league seasons, which equates to roughly 12 full years of major league service time. He pitched for six teams from 1984 through 1995, logging an 84-95 win-loss record, 951 strikeouts, and a 4.14 ERA across 257 games.

🤷

Service time is an exact calculation based on time spent on an active roster.  In 3 of his seasons he appeared in 2 games - he does not have 12 years official service time.  He has referred to this fact several times on air.  However feel free to believe he has 12 years.

[ToolDRT]

Good question Alex, asking if they might employ some pinch hitters in the 9th. Guy’s a genuine savant, isn’t he? 

[Derwood]

Pitch well, don't score

Hit well, pitch poorly

This is what losing streaks are made of

Ok, guess Google needs to be made aware of it...   lmao

Yes, Jim Deshaies qualifies for Major League Baseball pension benefits.To vest in the MLB Pension Plan, a player needs a minimum of 43 days of Major League service time. Deshaies pitched in the majors for 12 seasons (1984–1995), accumulating well over 10 years of service time, which qualifies him to receive a full vested pension.

I did see now what youre saying,  only 9 full seasons and 3 with just 2 starts each year.

Ok, even after losing 9 in a row, it's still not realistic to talk about selling but damn another 5 or so games and I might be on board. 

[profisme]

The Seiya result was the most predictable result in a while. Every decision Craig makes is wrong right now. 

[JHBulls]

Two 10 game win streaks and a (give it a couple of days) 10 game losing streak in the same year probably hasn’t happened very often. 

[Tryptamine]

1.5 games out of last place in the division.

[Papa Cub]

Suzuki pisses me off - how many times with two strikes and it’s close he sits and watches it. Go down swinging! Protect the horsefeathers plate - this is horsefeathers they teach little leaguers 

[cl smooth]

Did they win?

 

See you tomorrow!

[ToolDRT]

I really think Craig gets future endeavored soon. 

[chibears55]

That 20-3 run is melting away

2-13 , 9 Ls in a row

I mean can they really flip that and go 3-20

🤮🤮🤮

[Derwood]

Dustin Kelly has to be shot into the Sun, even if its only for the optics

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Time to delete the MLB apps from my devices 

[NorthsideAvenger]

SOMETHING has to change. Keeping running out pretty much the same lineup is not doing anything. IDC anymore but Alcantara and Ramrez need to be in the lineup EVERYDAY. 

[17 Seconds]

starting to feel like the end of the Theo era where our good players just started disappearing

[SparkMark1]

Welp....at least ticket prices might be cheaper when I decide to take the kids.

If Hoyer wants to try and save the season,  although it very very hard and unlikely with this rotation/pitching,  a manager change is his best route right now.

[Soul]

Zzzzzzzzzz.

Beyond bad, it’s just so horsefeathers boring.

They'll be there in no time. Most likely stay there too. 
 

People can say the whole, “it’s only the end of -May - relax” nonsense. It’s a third of the way through the season. No signs of life - pitching staff in disarray and simply put….,they’re just not that good. They had their streak of wins. 70-75 win team. I’d be cool to see them turn it around, but they’re just not built for it with injuries and management.

It doesn’t make a horsefeathers of a difference whether or not Happ, Suzuki or Swanson are in the lineup or not. They suck horsefeathers.

Ben Brown is our new ace.

They are not firing Counsel. Please stop the nonsense. Don’t feed it.
