September showing us the real cubs team 🙄

This is the hardest choke job I can recall in recent playoffs. 11 innings, 1 hit is just so laughably terrible.

[Derwood]

That terrible challenge by PCA has made 2 or 3 other batters reluctant to challenge obvious ball calls

Not that this changes anything, but they had 3 hits yesterday. Which may be more than they get today.

Pivetta looks hittable. They’ll start falling. Just need to tag him for a few before they get the bullpen in

Or Gausman will start getting lit up and make it a nonissue

[PeanutPunch33]

King and Pivetta are good but they are hardly upper echelon pitchers.  It’s wild that this offense is letting them down this badly

They also need to stop striking out.

Straight fastballs right down the middle and the Cubs can't hit them.

Ah, I went to bed with 1, my bad.

[UMFan83]

Season on the brink

[Andy]

LOL and now they're gonna get lucky too, because being way horsefeathers better than us isn't infuriating enough

Just put us out of our misery, San Diego.

[JBears79]

Welp... not looking good at all.

horsefeathers 

[Tryptamine]

There we go, the infield hit for an extra kick in the nuts.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

i watched them pretty much the whole time against AZ, their batted ball luck is insane

[Soul]

It was a fun year.

[UMFan83]

Obviously gonna play at double play depth and concede a run but that run might be too much for us to overcome

[UMFan83]

Not that Gausman has been awful but time to get someone up and throwing. 

[UMFan83]

The Padres have played nearly the perfect series, it’s wild 

[Andy]

What in the world is Counsell doing with this challenge

[Derwood]

What an awful, terrible, ridiculous challenge. Counsell is shitting the bed
