Cubs cannot lose the series lol. Momentum is still on. Just win the Mets series.

before people do the crying about Schwarber thing they always do where do you think the Phillies as a team rank on offense?

100th percentile PCA and Ben Brown seasons and the cubs are 3 games over .500. this is the dumbest sport in all of the sports. eat arby's.

Brewers collapsed once again. Cubs really should've been 5.5 back. pain.

the reason Craig didn't stick with Rolison is next 3 hitters were Vlad, Valenzuela, Okamoto. all righties. maybe since it's 5-0 he shouldn't of cared. also whispers I rather Maton have been in than Thornton but that would've pissed people off as well.

I don't have a problem with the 8th inning offense. after the Nico sac fly Varland with one out and 1st and 3rd he probably does that to most teams. if they were down 1 instead of 3 that's a fine inning. i don't most people understand how elite Varland has been this season.

If tomorrow gets rained out then it's not the end of would. But this should be 2-0.

They had momentum and now it's gone and one other thing. Alex Bregman sucks.

They had it. People can blame RISP all they want but it was 5-0. That was enough. You just couldn't give it back all in one inning.

Nico is the key. I don't trust the guys behind him if he can't get a hit vs Varland.

Even if Cubs held that to down 1 they probably lose given how good Varland is.

I can't stress it enough that's a devastating loss. You were looking at a series win and now you have to beat Cease to salvage it.

Cubs need to upgrade the Thornton and Ethan Roberts spots. They make me really uncomfortable.

JD and Boog did a good job illustrating Nico not striking out isn't always a good thing.

blue jays catcher screwed up big time. how do you not challenge with guys on 1st and 2nd and zero outs???? I'm not complaining though.

I just can feel Corbin being the type of pitcher the cubs struggle with. He's an awful pitcher with a lot of off speed.

i just hope Colin Rea keeps them in the game. Vlad's playing so you don't get a break there. this is a massive game because to win the series if you lose this you have to beat Cease.

Cubs are only 2 GB of the Cardinals who are WC1 if they lose. I think that's more important. i know everyone already said they should sell but lotta ballgame left.

don't look now but the cubs are only 6.5 games back of MIL. no seriously don't look leave us alone.

Tarik Skubal gets into a war of words with White Sox pitcher Mike Vasil who is out for the year after Tommy John surgery

I know people have been talking about GB's pass volume lately but if you give Jordan Love 25 pass attempts minimum for both the games he missed due to injury and another 13 for the Chicago game he left early. he's at 502 which is 10th among all QBs.

the reason the cubs won this game is craig called for the score the runs play more often. you gotta wonder why he doesn't go in the playbook for that more often.

still a long ways to go but if the cubs can get one of the next 2 that will make up at least one of the bad series they were unable to win. Blue Jays are a solid team.

FYI i'm one Seiya Suzuki heater away from wanting to bring back both Ian Happ and Seiya than the majority wants to. i think most want to get rid of them lul.

doesn't counsell know PCA is trying to win an MVP. he needs to pad his numbers in these situations.

Ian Happ has 2 more hits today. but you guys he leads all of baseball with left runners on base! shaddddup.

I am so glad Carson Kelly did that because i was about to be sooo mad at Nico.

Busch's AB was so bad. last 2 hitters walked and you are aggressive on the 1st 2 pitches???

Outfielders only. PCA way ahead, as he should be. I think the occasional bonehead mistake obscures just how incredible he is out there, honestly. baseballsavant.mlb.com/leaderboard/...

if the cubs are wanting and trying to get Nico Hoerner to pull the ball more like the Coomer quote implied then he's failing spectacularly at it because his pull % and his pull GB% is down from last year lmao.

Coomer basically gave an excuse all cubs fans were yearning for. Nico Hoerner's batted ball profile is almost the exact same as last year. the difference is his xBA is .290 his actual BA is .233 the worst discrepancy in all of baseball.

for this upcoming series if the Cubs are losing after 8 the game is basically over against the blue jays for the record. Louis Varland has been Mason Miller this season.

I will let the Matt Shaw people have their fun. I do not believe in him like most do rn because he was able to hit the Colorado Rockies pitching staff but i commend at least one person doing so.

@robertoneill31.latenightgrin.com cubs have another off day after a series win. they don't listen.

Moving from outs to the clock was the one good change the dipshit commissioner has made in his tenure so naturally theyre pivoting back to something stupid

Ethan Roberts is a nice mop up reliever but between him and Thornton i really hope the cubs upgrade those spots if they are still in the race near the deadline.

I never once thought the HR derby was too long under the new format. so that is a weird complaint i am seeing.

I do understand that swings is different than outs in that homers also count as a swing (except for the last swing???) but the clock was Good Actually so this is dumb

The Home Run Derby was working too well so they decided to fuck it up. Sure, good call.

I strongly encourage MLB to go watch the "outs/swings" versions before the clock because to be quite frank with you: it sucked complete ass

while we are talking about the MLB AS format. why the hell is the futures game not a huge part of MLB's all star weekend?

Why should fans suffer because ESPN couldn’t hold up its end of the bargain?

Last format was fine. The camera was the issue. Public pressure won.

there's no reason why this shouldn't be what the all the Colorado games look like.

Cubs get a big lead and Assad wants to give up missiles?

i hate this team. i was done with them and of course they do this when this could've been a sweep.

Where's the Dansby Haters at now????? you look really dumb don't you?

the Ian Happ left on base stat that is going around is funny because if you actually look down the list it's full of really good hitters because it's a context stat of teams that get on base alot.

this was really good on the Packers offense. Don't listen to the non ball knowers Christian Watson/Reed/Kraft/Golden is an excellent core. more Jordan Love propaganda as well. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVns...

I think people can be mad about the Edward Cabrera trade but would you have been cool with them taking a more safe SP3-SP4 option cost controlled but far less upside? because there is no world where you are getting an SP2 for Owen freaking Caissie.
