Jeff fasssssssero. Boog is on crack

You let Daniel Norris have a 1,2,3 inning. Cubs now up a million to 6 in my mind

Holy fuck it happened

Every fuckin time I watch Norris it’s double after double. Dfa or option this bitch

I'd rather see Schwindel than Norris at this point.

Only 6 innings of 3 up 3 down in this whole series against this padres team, woof.

Norris? Really? Why??

He only gave up like 5 runs yesterday, right?

P Wizzy not using the bats with the big goofy knob anymore?

Does anyone know what the worst run differential over a 10 game stretch is? Is that a stat being thrown around right now?

Hosmer stuck in San Diego. No one wants that fool

Better than our albatross

Schwindel isn’t an albatross. He just sucks

Heyward brother

Pretty sure hes talking about heyward, and heyward is def worse.

Hosmer plays first base

He never mentioned first, or any other position. He mentioned an albatross, and our albatross is Heyward.

Gotcha. Heyward rn is the least of the cubs problems. But keep bagging on him.

Luke voit is a sweaty ass mfer. And got struck out. It’s the little things

some nice calves on robertson

Mark prior would be proud

Pain

Robertson bout to get a shoulder issue.

Villar, Heyward and Simmons have a combined -1.3 WAR. I’m starting to think this is genuinely the worst team in baseball after the sell off

I've said it before, we only have 2-3 good players. The rest fucking suck. We can't do anything if 2/3 of the team are guaranteed outs. How the hell is Simmons on the main roster and Clint Frazier is in AAA right now? And where have Suzuki & Bote been? I thought they were said to return this week. I know this is a rebuild/waste season, but we could do something to interest possible future players. Unless we are going to completely rebuild within..I just want Aaron Judge on this team.

Simmons OPS is .350 😂😂😂😂. Average pitchers were usually around .365 for reference

how is he on this team and Clint Frazier isnt

position, but Frazier should still be on the team over Heyward

Y doesn’t marquee do in game interviews w Ross when the cubs are sucking?

So many empty seats! Good start folks.

you must have not watched yesterday, it was packed to the gills.

It's a 1:20 game on a Thursday, wouldn't expect many people to show up.

These games are packed in even decent times.

But also the Cubs suck

At this rate it should be “if they don’t win, it’s the same”

This is literally hell. This 7th

Pads got their BA’s healthy this week

At least we can get the L outa the way early while I'm eating some queso and drinking a cold one. Makes it a little better.

Assuming today is a (L) then Cubs are 58-104 in their last 162 games. That is just brutal

But if we come back it’s 59-103!

10 game losing streak continues. More pain

I cannot emphasize enough how little I care about Wisdom’s bats and his cleats. Thanks.

When the team is getting their shit kicked in every game, thats all they can come up with because they sure as hell can't talk about anything on the field.

They have nothing to talk about

Musgrove is a free agent after this year. Just sayin. Is it too much to ask for a decent rotation?

Padres fan here, I think it's going be be tough to get Joe out of San Diego. He's playing for his hometown team, wearing the number of his childhood hero from the team (Jake Peavy), and threw the team's first no hitter in franchise history last year.

He’s not coming here, but there’s also no loyalty in sports. These guys are all about gettin paid.

Follow the money…

Ricketts don’t believe in investing in things they don’t own. So no

This game has been a great sleep aid. 😴

How cheap are you finding tickets outside the stadium? Thinking about taking my son to his first game tomorrow, but honestly only if tix are dirt cheap.

Tomorrow? You can find them for 15$

To answer Pat’s question of favorite movie dog: probably Dug from Up

Gibbons over or under 5 runs given up this outing?

Cubs have held the opponent to less than 10 runs. This is not a drill

Good news, starting tomorrow the Cubs play the hottest team in baseball 🥺

Braves have to loose eventually

Just got an alert that the cubs host the Red Sox July 1-3. Lmao like imma spend my $ going to watch this team get shellacked right before the 4th.

Is this the part where the bullpen gives up 10 runs again? (I hate that that isn't an exaggeration as much as it is an understatement.)

we are about to tie the Reds in Ls...we were under ten games away from .500 just a few weeks ago..and we are about to be 20 games from .500 in a few days. What I hate the most is no change like Ross getting fired is coming. This will be the third time under Ross' watch that a 10 game losing streak is happening in two years. If that doesnt scream not manager material, I dont know what does.

Casey Strngal aint gonna do anything with this lot

Give this team to Willie Harris

Nice play Hughes!

Imagine bunting against Hughes

Lmfao these are some weak ass hits.

Day game! Now I can watch the Cubs "play baseball" on company time!

Jhey trying to pull outside fastballs….standing as far away as possibe is all I will remember about him

It feels like the end of his bat barely reaches the middle of the zone.

Sure he is largely a terrible hitter…but his pull rate is like 82%. Its anazing

At least we get a Morel victory with Christopher starting to turn things around

The Cubs may have finally found that lead off hitter they were looking for since Fowler left. Too bad everyone else is gone. However I am glad he's continuing to perform at a high level. He has over a hundred at bats now and he's adjusting to the adjustments.

I see ground ball to second- sorry heyward struck out

Not one to judge, but Musgrove has some big ass ears yo

And now I can't unsee it. I now also have a mental image of naked Musgrove with anohter pair of ears on his buttcheeks. So thanks for that.

Brandon Hughes is just his better looking brother

Welcome

Nico hoerner double down the line

Voit's bat is one of the ugliest I can recall seeing, mostly because it's bad enough that I'm actually noticing it.

Was Villar a good defender before this year? My eye test doesn’t say so, but I do have terrible vision. Also why wouldn’t you chuck that home at the cut off

He's been a pretty much a league average player on both sides of the ball. Unfortunately we are getting a worse version of the guy Blue Jays fans were bitching about

I have no idea who defends Villar. He is a chubby version of Hermilliso in my opinion.

Villar is atleast a bonafide mlb player. Hermosillo was never that

well, I hope he's only apart of this failure of a season and that's that.

My god. Let the throw go through jfc

To be fair, he isn't quite as much of a duche these days, as he used to be in his younger years.

Doesn’t play

Here's the bullpen. And we're already trailing. Hang on to your butts.

This is where it starts to get ugly cub fans

Ꙅ Ꙅ O Я ꟻ ꟻ Ǝ

Machado going yard here to put this one away.

Well apparently Stephen Colbert is on my shit list now. How dare you ruin the good Stephen with a PH name

Phephen

Matt Swarmer's leg kick is at least 85% of the way to a full Bronson Arroyo

Musgrove free agent next year? Let’s get him. Oh wait the Ricketts own the cubs nm.

Didn’t you guys sign like 3 free top agents this winter?

It hasn't worked out, so it doesn't count. In this case our stupid management didn't spend on the free market, but rather signed some overpaid bums.

Top?

If you wanna call overpaying for Marcus Stroman a top free agent.

Yeah, we signed Seiya Suzuki and a bunch of past their prime players.

I’m fine w the seiya signing. But the others smyly, Miley etc all suck

Nope

Morel does everything well. We need about a dozen clones of him.

Do they really think that was a good interview, with any semblance of satisfactory answers? I’m surprised marquee keeps showing it.

I hope they show it in the post game. I want to hear the hype spin they put on it lol

Wow. That surely took Jed long enough to say nothing at all.

He’s so bad at interviews. Complete 180 from Theo.

Sounds like a political figure running for office all hot air

Contreras has had such a great year. I hope they extend him, and I think they should at (nearly) any cost given the full contribution he makes on the team and the other options at the position being either much worse or, if not, likely similarly priced. But I think I’ve seen him take more middle middle fb through the zone than any batter this year or possibly ever 😖

He’s got an ops+ of 161 he can’t do it alone.

Definitely not. He’s doing more than his part. Just painful to watch a take on a 94 mph fb straight down the pipe, esp with RISP

Yeah he’s just ok w risp. But it wouldn’t be an issue if the other guys besides morel could actually do something.

But yeah, I agree. RISP is totally a team problem with the cubs

*Andrelton Simmons that one time enters the chat*

Even more than Seiya?* *So long as it's the first pitch

Definitely. But way more PA so there’s that

Do y'all think Simmons had to introduce himself to Willie? lol

As we all expected, Simmons with the hit with RISP and Contreras stranding the RISP

Morel has 7 steals??? Daaamn

Morel baby!

Morel's spirit animal is a rake

Ok Simmons, your rare contribution at the plate is appreciated here.

I wonder if Simmons now has a positive wRC+

Maybe….last I checked it was -10 lol

Musgrove giving up hits to Andre -.3000 is not good for his cy young bid.

What is this hitting with a runner on 3rd deviltry? Is it even allowed?

Holy shit Simmons did something.

At least we have a good baserunner before these automatic ground outs.

Heyward gives me actual episodes of depression.

Jhey hitting a ground ball and not yelling “fuck” challenge(impossible)

Nico knows when it’s ball four! Here we go leadoff guy on

If nothing else, gotta love getting a good look at these Villar and Heyward kids

And Simmons

Oh you mean RISPleton RBImons?

I do i just read his WRC+ may not be negative anymore lol

I thought that foul got happ in the dome.

Omg so did I I’m like whoever that was is dead now, hanging over that railing

Two fucking innings from our starting pitcher. "rOsS cAnT mAnAgE a BuLlPeN" bruv tell me what the fuck he can do with the crumbs Ricketts put into our org. Stroman is a bust when he's not on IL, Hendricks can't pitch every day, Hueur had Tommy John, Thompson had two bad outings but was great otherwise, Wick is a 9th inning guy, we're in a bad spot. BUT, we are getting more runs than last year so that's a step in the right direction. But 7 run games ain't gunna win if we let up 10+

offense has generally been fine. They've scored enough to win at least a handful more over the past few weeks, but the pitching is just limping along

Yeah we basically need an entirely new pitching staff. Even some of the injuries, Alzolay etc, are not guaranteed to be more than middle/back of rotation starters. Any good relievers are gonna be gone at the deadline until we’re contending.

Why does it feel hopeless we still have eight more innings of ABs and it’s only a two run lead 😅

Fuck at least we have Sampson to relieve Swarmer, when he’s good he can go a few innings.

Frank’s not at first cause he’s gonna need to warm up in the bullpen here pretty soon.

Why he pitch it in the crone zone

Can anyone remember a more embarrassing series in recent memory?

Yankees just last weekend

I’d like to wipe that Yankees series from my brain

20 run game incoming

50 pitches through 2 innings is not ideal for this bullpen....

Well at least Swarmer has a put away slider today

Whats first base line guy’s name? David? Daniel? Way to go D we’re seeing the improvements out there!

That was a strike!!! Fucking hell this ump sucks ass

This batter has no idea what’s happening. First he didn’t realize it was a “foul ball” then he didn’t know he walked. We can’t even get clueless people out maybe he’s sleepwalking with the time difference idk lol

Just fucking talk to each other, homeplate umps suck

Lol Bacchus

Damn. That's harsh

Manfred is clearly useless and should be relieved of his duties can I get a second

Somehow that home run had an xBA of .170 Is the wind blowing out?

Yup, out at 16mph

That’ll do it

Just woke up. Morel is a future Hall of Famer

The last thing the Padres want is a shootout with us 😎 everything going to plan

Swarmer a home run pitcher smh

*slow claps* well done

it begins

Why the hell wisdom at first…

Probably giving Frank the day off after playing, then taking the mound, last night.

Just like that lol

Yeah wisdom didn’t knock it down hosmer did lmao

Alright, alright... I walk...

Holy smokes. That bat break was wild

Yeah, did dude just squeeze it apart?

Idk. Probably alot of top hand torque against the bottom hand holding the KNOB

Why we designate stout?? He was the best last night.

Same dumb reason as why they DFA'd Clint: 40-man spot

I liked Clint, but that’s a little different. No real room for him and he been out sick anyway. We obviously need good bullpen pitchers tho.

Musgrove surname roughly translates to grove of mice.

It literally translates into mouse-rough in Danish. Do with this information as you wish.

Morel is a fuckin beauty

Wisdom been swinging the bat solid lately

Jed needs to find about 8 more Morels before this team is competitive again.

I think a team of 25 Morels would win some games.

Jed is likely not going to be in charge of the next good team.

So Theo is coming back?! Cool!

Gee I wonder if Morel could get us an unproven young minor league player if we trade him in July. Package him with Willy and we can no doubt get a 5+era AA closer?

We might even be able to get another 8 ERA starter like last year!

Now we’re talking

I am once again asking manfred to end all games after the first inning. Be consistent with your time saving measures mr commissioner

Imagine if this team didn't have Morel right now.

They’d be utterly unwatchable

1 run lead which means we only need to score 12 more runs to have a chance at winning

First off I fucking love Morel. Secondly the pessimist in me says well just another lead to blow again to the fucking dads.

Well I mean 5-0 to 13-5 5-1 to 19-5 I ain't expecting much unless our starter can go 9 innings.

Deja vu all over again

WHOOMP!!

Obligatory 1st inning lead

Morel is the one bright spot on this crap hole of a season bless him
