A big hit from Tucker here would do wonders
-
Another Homer in the upper third. Good to see.
-
Please walk Schwarber and take your shot with Bohm
-
Shaw gets himself out chasing too much. A little too anxious.
-
Gotta capitalize on his wildness
-
Haven't seen him take 97 deep in that location much
-
Starting rotation options available now

I don't think Sale will let hometown affinity get in the way at a postseason run and a chance to build on his HOF resume. The Braves have a lot of work to do to get back in the race legitmately. I bet he gets moved. -
He's had a couple barrels turn into outs.
-
I'm enjoying it just fine, thanks.

In that context I was referring to the team. I'd be a little nervous watching the movie play out again. 1/3 of the lineup being useless again. The pitching performing at the utmost unsustainable rate. The gauntlet they are about to face amidst a slump. If they keep hitting like this that lead will be gone by the time they face STL, and given the slate of pitching they are facing, it looks pretty plausible. Abel is going tonight, the Pirates are around the bend and will probably debut Chandler vs us. This is a really tough stretch the next couple weeks.

Without it we (as in Cubs since the rule was instituted, not just this year) would almost never score. Last night the Phillies probably would have done the bunting still if Realmuto had led off the inning with a double. I don't think we would have defended against it. It has had the desired effect: eliminate 13-19 inning games. It's not gonna change.
-
Thinking about last night I'm really irritated Dansby didn't try to lay down a bunt
-
I don't really care how well they are running the bases comparative to the rest of the league when they're getting on base 29% of the time and score 45 runs over 13 games, which btw, puts them at 26th in runs scored over that stretch.
-
I get it, but he said the offense has picked up the slack and it most certainly has not.
-
No, they haven't picked up the slack, the pitching has. Just be honest about horsefeathers. They have the 23rd ranked offense over the last 2 weeks. They have pitched to a 1.92 ERA, the best in the league.
-
To be fair, it hasn't just been those pitchers holding them down. They scored 9 runs against the Rockies, and there's been several other games where they've scored less than 2 runs. Since the start of the Rockies series they have hit 226/292/364/86. And in the 4 series vs .500 teams which have generated the most angst, they've been held to 2 or less runs 5 times in 13 games. They are showing signs that fans have seen a lot of over the last few seasons. It shouldn't surprise anyone that fans are concerned things have taken a turn for the worse. In this span Dansby has a 1 wRC+ in 54 PA, Nico has a 52 in 51 PA. The Catcher position has been negative. The rest of the offense has not been able to pick up the slack, unfortunately. Those 3 positions are horsefeathers killing us. If I were Jed I would be a little nervous. I'd be running through the various configurations for how to possibly get Long into the lineup, see if he can provide a spark. It's annoying as hell that as soon as the 3B position settled, the MIF completely fell apart and catchers have given us worse than 2024 production, to boot.

Well so much for Palencia's OBA. Great job of executing by the Phillies. The Cubs are not hitting the way they should be as they enter this gauntlet and they could very well lose the lead they've built up by the time they face STL.
-
Smart bunt by the Phillies
-
Yay we are tied already
-
God he sucks
-
Dansby needs to get this horsefeathers run in. He can't be so putrid with RISP.
-
There we go Pete
-
Stay in your horsefeathers approach man, what was that
-
I dont know why more road teams dont just walk the first batter and set up a force play.
-
Phew that was a great pick by Shaw. That easily could have ended the game.
