    We’ve finally hit a stretch where it feels impossible for the Cubs to string together 2 consecutive hits
  2. UMFan83
    The Cubs have trailed at some point in 7 of their last 8 games
  3. UMFan83
    Rea and Brown in a race to see who can get pulled from the rotation when Shota is back

    I thought it was wild that the Cubs Rockies series only had 14 total runs scored. Well this series has only had 11 runs scored in the first 3 games. Better pitching this series though.

    That was a fantastic opening match for the Club World Cup. Messi just missed a ridiculous shot outside the box in the final seconds.

    Well for starters, stating that I was losing my mind over the offense. Edit: oh actually your entire first post mocking people who think the offense is nothing to worry about is rich with implied broad conclusions too.
  7. UMFan83
    There’s a difference between pointing out a team is struggling offensively and drawing broad conclusions about the overall offense. I feel like I’ve said something like this every season for the last 20 years, are they as good as they were in April? Probably not, not many teams score 6.5-7 runs per game. Are they going to score 3 runs or less in 65% of their games? Also probably not.
  8. UMFan83
    There isn’t. They also lead the league in 10+ run games last time I checked. I swear people act like they’ve never watched baseball seasons before.

    I mentioned earlier that the Cubs had a .676 OPS in their last 16 games coming into today. The Tigers had a 16 game stretch in April where they had a .636 OPS. And are currently on a 23 game stretch with a .660 OPS. Like you said their lineup isn't as good as the Cubs but those are some valleys that they've had.

    Cubs have scored 3 runs or less in 11 of their last 17 games blah

    It's kind of crazy how wildly different Wrigley plays from year to year. I was going to say that this is the 2nd year in a row Wrigley has been death to hitters but the Park Factors says they are pretty much middle of the road this year (99 Park Factor). Here is how we've fared in recent years: 2025: 15th (99) 2024: 29th (91) 2023: 9th (101) 2022: 16th (99) 2021: 7th (103) 2020: 24th (96) 2019: 15th (99) 2018: 11th (102) 2017: 8th (103) 2016: 26th (94) 2015: 13th (100)

    Strange to say when we hit a bit better in April (.811 OPS) overall against tougher pitching than we did in May (.772 OPS) when the schedule got a lot lighter. Right now all you can call this is ebbs and flows of a baseball season. If they are still hitting like this into July then you can be concerned.
  13. UMFan83
    Not including today, the Cubs offense has a .229/.292/.382/.674 line over their last 16 games, averaging 3.4 rpg over the span. Hopefully they get it going at some point in this long homestead.
  14. UMFan83
    For anyone hoping the conditions wake up the Cubs offense, the wind is projected to blow in Saturday and Sunday, though its starting to blow out next week.
  15. UMFan83
    Only scoring 1 runs in 5 innings against the Pirates pen is pretty disappointing even we weren't expecting to do much against Skenes. Offense is definitely in a bit of a rut right now and its frustrating.
  16. UMFan83
    Kyle Tucker has never faced Bednar before. Seiya is 5-13 with 2 XBH against him.
  17. UMFan83
    Unproductive out for Happ
  18. UMFan83
    Happ has a career 1.083 OPS against Bednar in his career
  19. UMFan83
    Which other poster? I think its pretty universally hated here lol
  20. UMFan83
    Top of the order up, someone get a hit.
  21. UMFan83
    If he induces a DP here he'll still have a 0.00 ERA!
  22. UMFan83
    Did not want a hit where the runner also advanced to 3rd ugh
  23. UMFan83
    Bases loaded 0 outs, lovely
  24. UMFan83
    I hate fake baseball
  25. UMFan83
    Please walk it off and don't play fake baseball
