Whose fault is this situational hitting or lack of it? Do these guys not understand what they need to do? This is like really unreal how bad it is.

That's two innings in a row with a runner on third with 1 out and we have 3 non competitive at bats. I don't understand why these guys don't understand situational hitting. See this is what made Sandberg great, he would have got that run in 9 times out of 10. Just horrific performance
Brewers are 2 for 2 and we are 1 for 3 today. We should be up 3-2.

When Dansby was up, they basically said, just hit it, we'll give you the run, as they played with the infield back. But no.....swung at a pitch that wasn't even close. Like closer to a wild pitch than a strike.

Was a fan of Castro but I’m leaning Suarez now just to focus more on getting Happ and Seiyas bum ass bats out of the lineup more often. Can not have these streaks of incompetence

I expect the Cubs to get swept. Just brutal.

Brewers score, what, 100% of guys on 3rd?

When the Cubs miss the playoffs and Tucker walks, I’m done with the Cubs until Hoyer and the Ricketts are gone.
Let Tucker walks away. Does he worth $500 million?

The greatest trick that the Ricketts have pulled is being so cheap that everyone believes a guy on a below market deal is paid like a super star....

It shouldn’t matter because the Cubs ******* print money. You traded a serious asset for him. It is NOT okay to rent a player at that price to not make the playoffs. “Going for it” should mean “can win the World Series” not “might make the playoffs”.

Otherwise, you ******* sign him, and I swear to god I’m so sick of listening to billionaires whine about money.

Brewers are just a lot better in every phase, just can't drop fly balls and not get free runs when they are handed to you against a team that is better.

The Brewers are infuriating to me, as imo they don't have as much talent as other clubs, including the Cubs. But they play situation baseball like professionals. Like ten times better than we do. THAT is why they are winning. We can't get out of our heads....
