Paper cuts like Willy Mayes KeBryan Hayes swinging bunt single, Hoerners line drive double play and Swanson missing the bag was the difference. The results sucked, the process has sucked too. Because improper lineup construction wasn’t enough to offset the difference between Lodolo and generic reds right handed bullpen arms. I hope the wind blowing in isn’t getting to their heads. It knocked down at least 2 on Friday and many over the course of the season.

I made it clear he’s not the caliber of pitcher Skubal is, the net effect, positive or negative of lineup construction vs Nick Martinez and the other 4+ ERA Reds I would think is neutral at best, especially with the way they’ve been hitting of late. To say they caught a break I didn’t expect to read, I understand your point. CC tried to counter it with plugging in Busch and PCA after Turner and Shaw took at bats. I’m not here to win a debate. Just asking for clarification. Either way the top of the lineup needs to wake up badly, and I hope Tuckers jammed finger from 2 months ago is simply speculation for his drop in slug and not a lingering injury that’s effecting him at the plate because he’s the engine that makes this offense run. Good thing the lineup is deep enough to tread water with all 4 struggling in unison and Suzuki having fits against pitches on the outside corner.

With all due respect, Would you have said that the Tigers caught a break if Skubal had left the game after recording 5 outs back in June and the offense was held to 3 hits off of their bullpen, because of lineup construction geared towards hitting left handed pitchers in an alternate outcome? I know Lodolo isn’t Skubal but neither is Mackenzie Gote or any of the other all star caliber left handed starters that the Cubs have struggled to score off of. If the Cubs could slug then the game wouldn’t have came down to weak contact and Swanson missing the bag with how they’re constructed to score runs. Bad breaks or not,, once again they’ve failed to pass the eye test and haven’t since the all star break which is reflected in their run differential. 3 hits off their bullpen?
-
Lodolo pitches 1 2/3rds inning, 2 horsefeathers runs. They haven’t been fun to watch since the 4th of July weekend.
-
3 games back of 1st, 6.5 ahead in the wild card and shrinking? These are still the cubs people.
-
“Luck” and BABIP shouldn’t matter when you’re spotted 3 runs and Lodolo leaves the game after 1 2/3rds innings. They couldn’t hit the Orioles garbage pitchers and it’s no different tonight vs the Reds pen.
-
Such a maddening game and way too predictable.
-
That’s game. Because in order to win holding the Reds to 2 runs was a must vs their horsefeathers bullpen.
-
Willy Mayes Hayes lead off single right there.
-
Can’t hit ****** pitching either.
-
Unsurprisingly Cubs bats can’t take advantage of their gift.
-
Assad Horton or Brown as your game 4 staring pitcher. Taillon as your game 3 starting pitcher. Not good. Not that Soroka made a big difference.
-
WTF Dansby!!!
-
Bottom of the order has really picked up the slack the last couple of weeks.
-
The baseball gods really don’t this Ben brown experiment to end and if that means injuries to 4 different starting pitchers then then so be it,
-
Unbelievable.
-
You mean a few at bats or innings in the field?
-
Turners last at bat?
-
It’s so nice not seeing Brujan in the lineup during scheduled off days for the regulars.
-
Just waiting for round 2 of a Swanson 3 week year and another Busch hot streak in time for the top of the order to start slugging in unison. 2 homers from our 1-4 in the last 13. That way they’ll at least pass the eye test.
-
Took Turner to bail their asses out. Amazing. That’s 3/4, Cubs are playing some good ball
-
What a disgrace
-
Good choice in going to Keller there. I like him in the 8th in 3> run games.
-
Cubs bats stopped scoring against bullpens. Seems Iike it’s been this way since the all star break.
-
The difference now is they can’t even to other teams bullpens like before. They’ll score a few runs early on most days and call it quotes after the 4th of 5th inning
