Cards are who we thought they were

Can't remember Shota ever hitting 2 dudes in a game 

Nice recovery

How long until Cubs opponents start just walking the first 2 batters of every inning since that is basically the most effective way to prevent the Cubs from scoring runs?

Led off the inning with a double followed by a single and 0 runs scored. 

Theyre an aggravating team..

They can get guys on base just cant consistently get them home at a good rate.

They'd probably be leading or top 3 in baseball in runs scored if they could just hit better with RISP 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Stranding a lot of guys, we should be killing them 

[Soul]

2 more on no RBI!  😡

[chibears55]

Weird seeing only 1 cub with double digits homeruns almost in June. 

Might be one of them seasons they only get 1 or 2 20+ homerun hitters.

[UMFan83]

7th HR allowed in Shota’s last 3 starts

[We Got The Whole 9]

Come on man right in his wheelhouse 

[Soul]

Ffffuuuuuu…k

Yeh, I have a feeling Imanaga wont be back in 2027.

I guess he could become cy young the rest of year but.....

horsefeathers.  A tie game.

These home runs are getting out getting out of hand. Ben Brown is our only quality starting pitcher and  can’t go past 5 innings.

At least we’re outhitting them 9-4

Shota isn’t getting a two-year contract from the Cubs. I would be surprised if he’s even back next year. He was hot early, but he is an average to poor pitcher.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Swear to god we have given up home runs to the most absolute awful hitters this month

Conforto starting to cool off some the last couple weeks 

I literally said the same thing. He’s off a bit, but has been a pleasant surprise

FUGGIN Shota

Maybe just playing too much lately 🤷

Someone on the Astros hit his first Homer off Shota as well

The Cubs by far lead baseball with a 14.2% HR/FB rate allowed.  The next closest team is at 13.0%.  Does that mean the Cubs are getting unlucky or they just suck?  I'm assuming more data is needed to tell for sure but at least a little part of it has to be bad luck right?

Nah our starting pitchers are just terrible.

Not just SP's.  The pen, too.

[chibears55]

Has a team(s) ever bring up their top 2 hitting prospects from AAA and just have them sitting on the bench pretty much the whole time up

Just curious with this,  I mean they could of just brought up literally 2 other guys to just sit or just kept Lopez and brought up 1 other guy 🤷
