Don’t like Sunday games when the Cubs are trying to avoid a sweep , especially against the Cardinals . Their 2B is going to be a problem for a long time .

I will skip this one as they seem ready to get into another month long slump on offense and honestly can t watch Bregman anymore .   Good luck you all 

 

Edit : starting to wonder if allowing Busch to play everyday has hurt him overall .  He isn’t hitting for power even againts righties

Bregman still hitting second is a disgrace

Not being able to watch 2/3 of the Cubs v Cardinals games on 4th of July weekend is a disgrace.

There seems to be some arrangement between Bregman and either CC or the FO

Can’t hurt the leader’s feelings or something. We’ve heard Bregman is a slow starter and have to give him time, but it’s July and you can’t have your worst hitter hitting second anymore.

Can’t you buy Peacock? With that said, these last two games haven’t been worth watching.

The "slow starter" had a much better 1st half last season:

2025 1st half: .298/.380/.546
2025 2nd half: .250/.341/.386

2026 1st half: .240/.341/.343

That's a full year of .245/.340/.360 ish baseball

Sure I could, but I already subscribe to Marquee.  It just sucks that a streaming service can just buy up the whole schedule of games on a Sunday and I’m just screwed if I don’t have it.

They’re already 0-5 at wrigley versus Milwaukee and St. Louis losing by a combined 6-39. Total disgrace.

Google mlb66, select MLB24ALL, select the Cubs game and boom you can watch for free. I have the MLB app and a streaming device but when those don’t work mlb66 comes through in the clutch unlike Bregman.

Decided I am not signing up to MLB.TV next year. Found out earlier this year and confirmed it that in my country every MLB game is streamed live on sports betting apps, provided you have any amount of money in your account. Baseball for one dollar sounds good.

Great to see Bregman hit with RISP.

You like that? 😎

[chibears55]

Damn Bregman is slow, barely made it without getting swipe tagged on the asss

Lol

[chibears55]

5 baserunners,  get the minimum 2 runs

🙄🙄

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

I really hate swinging at the first pitch in that situation 

[JHBulls]

This is not good. 

[chibears55]

Assad cant get that 3rd out, 4 baserunners,  lucky for that pick off 

[JHBulls]

Javier, put your glasses back on ffs.
