Don't have a problem w the strike 3 call on Black(that was borderline), but Neris was gifted 2 other strike calls that weren't even close.
I loved this.
On the downside, Cubs were 1-12 RISP. PCA had an RBI single of all people.

Justin Steele is a ball player. He’s not worried about his social status in the city of Chicago.
I was sitting in the driveway of my kid’s daycare listening to that home run call. I went nuts.

I am stealing this from a poster on BCB.
2016: Try not to suck.
2024: Wake the f*** up!!
To his credit, Morel is only about 26%.
I guess Busch is less likely to hit into a rally killing DP. Gotta look at the positives.😉
I'll say it again. Jed Hoyer should be fired. #FIREJEDHOYER
I remember when Stan Musial struck out 93 times. It was over the course of 3 and a half seasons and he had 748 hits to go with the 93 K's...
Cubs apparently thought get out of town game was over in the first.
Two ****ing hits?
Iowa football cannot get here soon enough. I’m ready to be hurt by a different team.

Well, when you decide to not show up to play a game, chances are your bullpen won’t be put in a position to blow a save. Maybe this is a new strategy??
After Mondays off day it looks like the Phillies are starting rookie Michael Mercado against the cubs in Wrigley.
Nice easy landing for the kid.

They could throw Stevie Wonder out there, and this team would get held scoreless through 7 innings and only get 1 hit.
If this season ends up with the Cubs being sellers, I don't trust Hoyer to get very good returns on the trades.

The problem with being a seller is does that mean you are giving up on next year? This should have been a playoff team/year. The valuable pieces are stuff you'd have to replace for next year.

Jefferson Rojas is 19 and playing in high A. Bret Bateman bears watching. He was a 4 year college player at Minnesota with some good bat to ball skills, and plays good defense. Rojas at this time has a very high ceiling. Bateman could be a 4th outfielder type.Can any of those dipshits hit?
I tuned in just in time to see Ed Howard hit his first HR of the season.
I should tune in more often, I guess.

They should be able to do some mix of sell/buy that doesn’t hurt next year. Could actually open up some flexibility heading into the offseason…..but then what will Jed do with that in the offseason?
Probably dish out 2 year contracts to old catchers with diminishing skill sets.
The rebuild failed, so now we have to rebuild again. This team is not just a few pieces away —they’re not even close.
