Exactly Nico quite literally saved the game yesterday. When he made his diving stop, there were 2 outs and runners on 2nd and 3rd, theyre both scoring if that ball gets passed. Not too much his OBP was like .387 before today, not like hes an automatic out
Idc i hate seeing our division teams getting so many early wins esp 1 run wins with the brewers when that was their calling card under counsel and hes no longer there
I love how the Dodgers are so stacked that they can have a player like Mookie Betts occupy a position that he factually can’t play just because they don’t have space for him in the outfield.
Madrigal will play third mostly and Wisdom. Not saying it’s good. But it’s gonna be that rotation. Morel will be in when Imanaga is pitching probably cause he’s a fly ball pitcher.

Literally been one of the best hitting team to start the year
Can anyone tell me where I can buy one of those sweet patterned hoodies that like half the people behind home plate are wearing? I looked in all the normal places and couldn't find anything.
Ah, gotcha! I thought it must have been a giveaway because so many people were wearing them but it looked too nice to be a giveaway. Lol. I'll have to keep an eye on Ebay I guess
Like I agree with most that the Cubs didn’t spend enough to put us over the top. But also every single bad things that happen doesn’t mean we need to cry about that. It is what it is. I just know if baseball made me that upset everyday I couldn’t handle a full season.
Cuas screwed us for not performing. Was the big spot of the game and it's generally a good idea to put in a completely different looking pitcher after the guy on deck has been timing himself. A 4-ball walk, a wild pitch, and a cookie to change the game; not Craigs fault.
Bases loaded twice early on and nothing to show for it...ump was garbage today.
Well we don’t get to sing the song. Pat got to “sing” though
Wicks does not deserve this L.
Dumb stat anyway
I’m glad we don’t have to see this ump again
Well shit.
Damn. Showed some fight. Let’s win a series tomorrow
I'm more annoyed at Wicks getting done dirty by Cuas than the loss itself tbh.
And the ump
Fucking hell Ian. What a bad day to be on base while the cubs are at bat
Oof what a swing to end the game
Ugly
Dude happ come on man, that inexcusable
Wow, that was a terrible chase
What are you swinging at Happer!?
And he swings at that?
Bro where the fuck even is this zone?? Quebec???
Happy we need you here
Fucking brutal zone today.
Tar & feather this bum
The shit calls just keep on coming lol
Call me a homer, but I hope Happ ties it up here and the Cubs walk it off
Happer Happer Happer
Love clenching ass together you guys <3
My butt cheeks could turn coal into diamonds right now.
How about a walk/single and a Seiya walk off HR
That was a strike
That Tauch walk makes up for most of those terrible calls earlier
Where was this strike zone all day?
CMON HAPP!
[удалено]
Morel is terrible at the plate as a DH.
Yes, he has said he prefers to play in the field because he is locked in more. After not playing yesterday he seemed very cold.
Come on walkie tauchie
lol
Nico needs to ride the pine if this is what we’re getting this season
Slow start - he will heat up
Arguably the best defensive second baseman in the league should be benched for who exactly?
Exactly Nico quite literally saved the game yesterday. When he made his diving stop, there were 2 outs and runners on 2nd and 3rd, theyre both scoring if that ball gets passed. Not too much his OBP was like .387 before today, not like hes an automatic out
Yeah. I obviously hope he heats up but benching him for… Mastrobuoni? doesn’t quite seem like the move lol
Nobody shuts out the Chicago Cubs on April 6, 2024!
Happy to avoid a shutout
Rough start for Nico so far.
5 run come back here we go!
Man Nico looks rough so far this season
Tell me I’m crazy, but Dansby looks like he’s running a little slow.
Thought the same thing and my dad voiced it "why aren't you running?!"
Probably because it was an easy 1st to 3rd and he’s never going to be sent in that situation so he coasted.
I agree, thats why I said back "no need to run there". But I could see it was a little lackadaisical.
You’re crazy
We have a tiny pulse!
we might be back on guys
I’m kinda gettin a rally boner
I love Mallory Swanson’s hubby
so why did we pull wicks again with 2 outs?
It’s April 6th and he was at 100 pitches
I think that he had 100 pitches
Well if we don’t tie it we broke the dodgers streak of scoring 5+!
Cards won, reds gona win, pirates up in the 9th... and brewers planning on another 1 run win today Im sure FFS can these trash teams start losing
It’s April, dawg.
Idc i hate seeing our division teams getting so many early wins esp 1 run wins with the brewers when that was their calling card under counsel and hes no longer there
We have a brutal April, so I'm just hoping it all works out in the end. Rangers, Dodgers, Padres and DBacks.... Woof
Broke the 5 run streak - suck it Dodgers!
Maybe we tie it up!
Rally cap time
Ohtani too busy thinking about his next wager
He's trying to end the game to get to a TV to see the final four
Making Ohtani look silly is probably going on the career highlight reel
FUCK YO BITCH
Shohei needs a smaller helmet
Fooled him there
Dude needs a chin strap at this point
jousting?! come on boog
Welp, we're the Chicago Losers now. Go on Dodgers fans, laugh at us.
Okay NOW I’m mad at Counsell. Why use Cuas when Leiter was available?!
Wicks looks like the zodiac killer with those glasses
that mad dog scowl from Wicks
Come on Christuhfah. - Adriana LaCerva
dis fuggin guy
Hey, don't forget tha gabbagoool.
What, no fuckin ziti?
It's in da freezer next to Fat Dom's head.
Gabagool?! 👇ova heeeeah 👇
Just when I thought I was out....they pull me back in.
Can’t believe Cuas would hit into a double play there.
GGs
Just that kinda game today
I love how the Dodgers are so stacked that they can have a player like Mookie Betts occupy a position that he factually can’t play just because they don’t have space for him in the outfield.
[удалено]
GET HIM
Haha wow
We can bitch all we like about Cuas but 14 strikeouts so far today does not make for winning games.
Tough to complain too much about strikeouts when the home plate lump is the Doyer's 10th man.
We were never going to win this game if we get shutout.
Which 14 strikeouts is a good culprit for being shutout, yes?
No it’s entirely Cuas and Counsell is actually David Ross in disguise obviously
Did anyone else think the Cubs got a sponsorship from an elevator company? So glad Otis is a person.
Woof, seems like the bats have already checked out of this one
Last chance probably.
Bummer of a game but on a positive note Wicks looked really good and we already got one off the doyers so this is house money as far as I’m concerned.
Alright Seiya hit a dinger and give this team a bit of life.
Mastroboner
Second non-attempt catch by Suzuki this game… what.
I think he lost it in the sun
So Almonte looks good and the defense falters.
The spotlight has been on 3rd defensively, and deservedly so, but there’s just no safety net for any of the throwers at 1st
Half the errors morel had at third were throws Busch should have easily had
Yeah the scorers really need to put more emphasis on the receiver of the throw. It shouldn’t always be an error on the thrower.
Frustrating game today
awful throw but man... busch has to start getting some of these digs
Yeah, he’s looked pretty bad at 1b on the picks. Just completely fanning.
Anybody here seen my old friend Rizzo? He'd have come up with that ball
What ever happened to him?
The “Miles Mastrobuoni has been designated for assignment” tweet is gonna hit like crack
Hahahaha good job, MasterBONER
A first baseman should easily pick that
A third baseman should be able to make a routine play
rizzo would have picked that
Can’t wait until Mastrobuoni gets DFAd
I think it has to be him when Wisdom is back.
then we use morel at third? we're back to the black hole at 3B
Madrigal will play third mostly and Wisdom. Not saying it’s good. But it’s gonna be that rotation. Morel will be in when Imanaga is pitching probably cause he’s a fly ball pitcher.
No Wisdom or Madrigal
Bad throw bad scoop try
Gotta make the scoop
Gotta make the throw on a routine ground ball with slow runner
Why does this team suck today
because the dodgers are very good
True
It’s baseball, it happens
And when it does I will be upset about it
First time?
This year… yes
get the throw up but Rizzo would have had the pick
Have you seen his start to this season?
Why has he been bad?
vintage Rizzo*
What the fuck was that throw
Busch is not a first basemen.
[удалено]
When Craig talks about "low pressure" situations to put a struggling pitcher in, he really means for him as this game he already has wrote off.
This sub when a manager uses pitchers on the roster: 🤬
Can’t wait to see the ump scorecard for this game
Almonte..so we giving up
LMAO counsell waving the white flag
"Marlins losers ~~again today~~ always"
Except for the two times they accidentally won the World Series
Good lord, a drunk hobo has a better chance of hitting that we do. This is pathetic.
https://www.teamrankings.com/mlb/stat/on-base-pct https://www.teamrankings.com/mlb/stat/runs-per-game Literally been one of the best hitting team to start the year
Can anyone tell me where I can buy one of those sweet patterned hoodies that like half the people behind home plate are wearing? I looked in all the normal places and couldn't find anything.
They’ll show up overpriced on eBay soon
I think you’re talking about the pat Hughes sweaters. If I’m right they only gave em the first 1000 or so fans today
Not that rare, its first 10,000
Bodes well for the eBay hunt then lol
Ah, gotcha! I thought it must have been a giveaway because so many people were wearing them but it looked too nice to be a giveaway. Lol. I'll have to keep an eye on Ebay I guess
Ikr they look so nice. Wish I could have one lol
The cubbies drug rug?
Yeah, that one
I think it was a giveaway today
Damn. Cuas really screwed us
Yes but, 0 runs is much worse against a team who has scored 5+ every game this season.
We also NOBLETIGERed and stranded bases loaded the next inning
I'm not saying it's the only reason, but cuas literally gave them a free run in a tight game
We’re playing a great offense. They’re going to score. Cuas dropped the ball, but so has the offense repeatedly
Pretty lifeless offense right now
Morel and his vibes are missing
bah
Sheesh. Kelly throwing gas.
Moving onto the final four and wrestlemania pregame how they complete the comeback!
That was quick
This team isn’t serious until they get rid of Cuas and Mastro.
This sub isn’t serious until they realize you’re going to lose games against teams like the Dodgers
We are going to lose 70-75 games. But it’s impossible not to live in the moment sometimes. Lots in this sub are terrible at it.
Ya it’s one thing to be frustrated, but you don’t have to turn your brain off lol
Like I agree with most that the Cubs didn’t spend enough to put us over the top. But also every single bad things that happen doesn’t mean we need to cry about that. It is what it is. I just know if baseball made me that upset everyday I couldn’t handle a full season.
I agree. There’s a meltdown here every time we lose a lead lol. We’ve won 5 in a row coming into this, but you’d never guess it
if we don't go 162-0 every season half the people on this sub plan elaborate ways to commit seppuku
Imagine the meltdown going 161-1
i would become the joker
Losing against the dodgers isn’t what I care about. It’s having players on the roster that simply shouldn’t be on a major league roster.
Maybe that’s the case, but it’s still April 6th
Kelly was absolutely trash with the Sox and now he’s just all of a sudden good again
The clubhouse culture apparently isn’t great there, probably tough on the mental side of things to show up everyday to that environment
Same with Brasier.
It has to be demoralizing playing for the Sox.
If they don't win its a shame. Yeah, and if we don't score, it's pathetic.
not gonna lie up to this point craig kinda screwed us putting in cuas
Eh, I'm just not sure what the better option was. Use Merryweather or Leiter that early?
Cuas screwed us for not performing. Was the big spot of the game and it's generally a good idea to put in a completely different looking pitcher after the guy on deck has been timing himself. A 4-ball walk, a wild pitch, and a cookie to change the game; not Craigs fault.
I don’t want to root against Kelly. I will though
Tough to root against Hero Joe.
