PCA is playing whack a mole in the batters box. It’s excruciating to watch.
-
PCA is swings at pitches like he’s a goalie blocking pucks.
-
Conforto has been a pleasant surprise so far. The regulars have been a disappointment but the bench has been more of a strength than a weakness.
-
Finally.
-
Nico last struck out 26 at bats ago.
-
They’re offensive.
-
Another high fastball. Shaw can’t catch up to high velocity.
-
All of our hits seem to come with no one on base.
-
Nice clutch hitting guys. Nice pop ups. Thought they got them out of their system in the 11th inning but obviously not.
-
Taillon throws the most perfectly located slider to punch out Cruz and the next pitch is a fastball right down the middle. horsefeathers this.

Why did DA have Dexter bulk up to line up at nose tackle? Was it to to eat more space to stop the run or simply for pass rushing purposes where his slow first step would be offset by adding more mass? -
It’s nice that they can work counts and draw walks. That’s only effective if they can make solid contact on pitches in the strike zone. Where’s the power at? At least Mo jumped on a couple first pitch mistakes for singles.

Their hot start also predated their march-may splits. They were ice cold in until July 4th of 24 and it transferred over to 2025, scoring at a 5.6 runs/game clip over 126 games and went 96-66 from July 7th of 24-July 6th of 25 at their peak 162 game cherry picked sample size scoring 859 runs to 637 allowed. They’re slumping right now with unsustainably low slugging and eventually they’ll heat back up. Hopefully they in a less volatile manner on a per game basis.
-
The pathetic slug from a lineup with 6 guys capable of 20+ home run power is unsustainable low. They’ll heat up. if they can maintain a 5 runs/game average with relatively even run distribution on a per game basis they’ll be in good shape. The problem is that it’s not a guarantee which is reflected in their pythag win underperformance since 2023.
-
I don’t know what’s more worse, 30 baserunners (+2 ghost runners) and only 3 runs scored or 30 baserunners and one XBH. Expect more of of the same until a lineup of 6 guys with 20+ home run power start hitting it over the fence. They’ve been anemic vs non AAAA pitchers.
-
The heart of the order is so damn useless.
-
He had him by almost 2 steps.
-
The only way he’ll get on base is a HBP so why risk it.
-
It’s May-June of 2024 all over again. Can’t wait to fact the Phillies pitching staff. Where’s the power? They haven’t even hit a double since Wednesday.
-
Just throw strikes and intentionally walk Nico and you’ll shut this offense down.
-
Interesting bringing in him with 3 righties after O’Hearn. I’ll let it slide because he’s our best reliever outside of Palencia.
-
Cubs need one more baserunner to tie the 98 year old record for having the most baserunners in a game without scoring a run at 14.
-
11 baserunners and no horsefeathers runs.
-
So the Cubs who had a total of 10 baserunners coming into the inning are down 2-0 against the pirates who were no hit in their first 6 innings. Sounds about right.
-
The thing with PCA is that he shattered everyone’s wildest expectations in very unconventional ways with his low OBP, strikeout rate and bad plate discipline. How sustainable is that? I’m not worried about Bregman, Busch or Swanson because they’ve been consistent and have have rebounded from slumps before. PCA finished with a 109 last season. Not everyone is Ian Happ who you can pencil in for a 115 wRC+ every season. I’m not worried in the sense that he’s a 70 wRC+ guy, will he be mid 90’s-low 100’s, better? Much better? It’s a lot easier forecast someone with more traditional slash slash lines. I’m not boxing him in with Frank Schwindel because he’s had a 6 month stretch of MVP play with success at all levels but he’s really up and down. To your first point, the first half offense offense broke the fanbase with unrealistic expectations expecting a 40+ home run pace from PCA and Suzuki to hold, in addition to Busch’s first half tear. It’s like saying that the post July 3rd cubs of 2024 were the real cubs and the anemic May-June offense were frauds. I’m more than guilty of knee jerk reactions.
