I think they suck

My original post said they get exposed down the stretch/September and into the playoffs for accuracy's sake. And I didn't move goalposts by bringing up the fashion in which the get exposed; thats...

Turning back the clock with Tony LaRussa, baby! Lets Giolito wear it with a 8 hit 2 walks and 7 ER on 46 pitches in the 1ST INNING!

Giolito then came out for the 2nd and gave up a bomb on the...

IMO you can't just dismiss that. In the regular season you're gonna face a lot of crap. In the postseason you face the upper crust. Theyve had opportunities to advance the organization and get it...

The offensive profile gets so exposed down the stretch/dog days of September and into the postseason. Theyve managed a total of 2 runs in their last 3 postseason games. The pitching has kept them in...

Javy now has 1 walk and 27 Ks on the year, in this the 15th game of the year

Keeping a pace of 10:275 alive!

Those teams are gonna play each other 15 more times. Both the Braves and Cubs made the playoffs and have 2 series against each other. Its not all that crazy.

Oh thank God, Winkler is so instrumental in this teams success...

The pitching staff does some good things. There's 5 RP (all of which could be made available at the TDL) with <35% K%. In fact the bullpen leads the league quite comfortably in K9 at 13.13 and K% at...

If you gave the Cubs a run for every hit they've collected, and went game by game measuring up against opponent runs they'd still be just 5-6-2 on the season

Nobody can commiserate really. This is...

The Cubs are 7-82 with RISP, scoring less than 3 runs per game. Their slash line is basically 160/250/300. Your worst bench player is probably a top 3 hitter on the team, as right now its Javy Baez...

Did we just retaliate again?

Our RHB have been fine to good besides Bote

The LHB (and Happ from that side) have been completely worthless

Watching ARI/WAS

Together theyve score half the runs the Cubs have scored and the game is in the 2nd inning.

Doesn't matter; Brewers got the last laugh by shutting us out the next day.

If we did let all those guys walk and Hoyer had 50-60m to work with, then he better attempt to overhaul the offense, bring in more contact. Enough with the lateral moves.

Yeah, seriously. Like wtf is Ross doing? You're trying to win the rubber match and you bench your best hitter?

This dude is like prime Jake throwing 98 mph cutters

Cubs have a 228 wOBA on fastballs down the heart of the plate, a full 40 pts lower than the 29th worst team, the Marlins.

I think that pretty much says all we need to know.

That really...

I hate them so much. Our offense is complete and utter garbage.

This team is complete *** cheese in the 4th

Absolutely ****ing awful group of hitters we have. 2 hits and 2 walks to 10 Ks

Ship em all the hell out

The team is currently rocking a 65 wRC+, far and away the worst in the league, about 20% worse than the 2012 team even. The swing and miss on the team puts them firmly behind the 8 ball and they get...

Pirates have put on a clinic on using the whole field

Predictably we haven't paid attention

Whiffed badly on that 93 mph cookie
