Ballgame

Why was he still in the game?

[Geographyhater8888]

Game. Good job Butchy. Game MVP. Good job bats.

[chibears55]

Of course, lol

[mk49]

One hitter too many for Peterson.

[JBears79]

Thats game. This team cant hit their way out of a wet paper bag

[profisme]

Between Carson and Busch killing last inning and letting that behemoth extend his arms on a pitch up, this game is super frustrating.

Why not?  In hindsight, sure, but he was still pitching better than anyone they were going to bring in from the pen.

[Papa Cub]

Three more weeks innings to get that back, but not trending well

[Dfan25]

That probably does it for this one with the way they are hitting and the pitching they are facing 

[Geographyhater8888]

Getting swept at home by the Yankees without bellinger, Judge or Stanton is disgraceful. Soon to be 4-10 against the Braves, brewers, Yankees and dodgers.

We’ll get out of the slump by early September I’m sure lol

[chibears55]

Getting good pitching and the bats go dead..

Dodgers will probably destroy them, looking at 6 Ls in a row if they don't wake up

[PeanutPunch33]

That error by Busch changed the whole game and momentum 

[Irrelevant Dude]

Watching Thornton pitch is maddening.

[Jason Ross]

Ugh. Thornton. Rough inning. Glad he got out a mess he made himself. 

[JHBulls]

We needed that badly. 

[Jason Ross]

Nico Hoerner is exactly who I thought would be able to muscle one out in this wind. Exactly. 

[chibears55]

WoW Nico...

Last guy you'd think hit one out today, right down the line

[profisme]

Haha. Fantastic

[mk49]

Nico power!

[JBears79]

Ill take it

[UMFan83]

Nico reminds me of Theriot in that they have these random power surges every year but don’t hit for power at all the rest of the time

[PeanutPunch33]

Nico has been good!!

[Dfan25]

Nico !
