Will Castro don’t make me not hate you

hell of a throw

Was Tucker really the problem in the clubhouse? The Cubs are playing so much better without him

He's still in the clubhouse...

Braiser warming up. Not good.

Where did your post about Taillon go?

Just saw the replay from the RF throw.
Very impressive!

Did they fire him into space?

He's literally sitting in the dugout.

Bro your takes tonight are straight fire!!!!

Maybe I should rephrase this. Is his presence having a net negative impact on the lineup?

I shame the pitchers into playing well. Reverse psychology.

Today was the Cubbies we have missed

7 back and 6 ahead of the reds. Top wildcard team.

How do you know? I thought you canceled your Marquee subscription?

What an erotic day of baseball

If the Cubs at least split the next two, they will win the season series and have a tiebreaker for the Division if they are able to claw back.

Cubs needed this type of day

Still think they need to win both of the next two to have a chance, barring something weird.

Today was more about getting some mojo back and hopefully we turn the page on the last 45 days.

Couple timely hits, Nico and Shaw just total studs. We has a Willi Castro sighting today. Jameson was great, if we can get him going it would be a big plus too.

Some really good baserunning today too.

Taillon's effort was huge! He was around 50 pitches in the first 2 innings and thought he might only get 3 innings based on high pitch count/inning & returning from injury. Awesome job to throw only 40 pitches over the next 4 innings.

Even if the Cubs split the next 2, it breaks the Brewers bubble of invincibility. Lose the next 2 the Cubs are just playing for the WC.

Whether the Cubs can make a run at the Brewers is more about how each team plays over the last 34 games of the season (e.g Brewers go 13-21 & Cubs go 21-13).

He’s going through it right now, and even he might not be able to figure out exactly what’s going on. You gotta stop with the “he’s overrated” thing though. Go take a look at his career numbers and keep in mind he has a WS ring. He’s an elite hitter and you wouldn’t be able to find a single scout that disagrees with that. I’m quite certain he’s still going to have a huge impact on this offense before the season is done. Even with this putrid stretch included he has an .821 OPS on the year. That’s pretty insane when you think about it.
