A's (Ginn) vs Cubs (Imanaga): 6/4/26, 7:05pm

[CubinNY]

Besides PCA they are not a good offense 

[CubinNY]

And Happ

[chibears55]

Of course they wait til theyre down a few to score 1, so thatll be it for them tonight 🙄 

[Tryptamine]

I genuinely have no idea how someone has not been fired. Deserved or not, for a team to completely implode like this and for the organization to just sits on its hands and does nothing is a terrible look.

[Wilson A2000]

Counsell has a small role to play in this mess, but sometimes players need a new voice. If the Cubs become sellers at the deadline, I can see him fired. 

[UMFan83]

That’s 11 HR allowed in Shota’s last 4 starts and 9 in his last 3 starts (though to be fair one of them is PCAs botch). 
 

that has to be close to a record right? 

[mk49]

This really sucks.

[Cubs420psd]

Lol Shota throwing BP again.

 

This team is so toast.

[BobbyD3]

Please tell me that I am not the only one that wants Imanaga jettisoned to the pen or traded for the ghost of Randy Wells.

Maybe, Jamo can beat the record.😅

Hey those mighty A’s will be .500 if they finish off this win.  Certainly not a team the Cubs should be getting swept by at home but I think they are decent at least

I know. Frrusation leads to stupid takes.

[UMFan83]

MLB leaders for most HRs allowed this year:

1. Taillon - 20

2. Imanaga - 17

 

[NorthsideAvenger]

A shake up is needed but Jed does not have the guts.

[JHBulls]

If only the Cubs hitters could score runs in bunches at the same frequency as Cubs pitchers give up. 

[cl smooth]

Woof

[PeanutPunch33]

haha this is just sad

Of all the stupid takes you choose his pointing out the A’s aren’t terrible as a stupid take? I can find numerous comments far more ridiculous than that. And I don’t even need to look far. 

[Dfan25]

Maybe this isn’t going to be their year . I have concerns going forward as well . Other teams in the division have better minor league systems . Very difficult situation that they are in .

 

 

[Derwood]

Shota does not give up cheap homers. All total bombs

Not sure Tom would allow it at this point in the season

[UMFan83]

How many consecutive days has an NL Central team been over .500? Insane that it might be the Cubs, who were 15 over .500 at one point, to break that streak

[abuck1220]

truly astonishing anyone in this organization still has a job. 

[Dfan25]

If Bregman has started his decline , they have a big mess with him and Swanson on that side of the infield 

[abuck1220]

and I criticize hoyer a lot, so i want to give him props on what is prob his best move. paying shota $20 mil this year instead of $20 mil this AND $20 mil next year was really shrewd. kudos to hoyer.
