The #chicagocubs were ‘never in this one’ as #kap comes to you from the ‘troubled waters’ hole on the golf course where he makes comps to the #cubs offense. They trailed early in the 1st in this one. #benbrown didn’t have it, allowing 6 earned runs, including a long HR to former Cub #kyleschwarber. #jesuslazardo was fantastic, striking out 10 in a possible revenge game as a deal to acquire him fell through for the Cubs in the offseason. They come home after a losing road trip, in 1st place, and now will face #paulskenes and the #pittsburghpirates starting tomorrow.

Cubs should of signed Lazardo.
Great Cubs have to face another tough pitching in Paul Skenes on Friday.
I think ben brown is a vampire. Dude is 4-2 at night, but 0-5 at the day. He just has this weird fear of 1st innings Thankfully, the brewers lost and the Cardinals got swept, hopefully this means the Cardinals are crashing back to earth. My only annoyance is that we keep giving ammo to the doomers that we can't beat good teams. We can, but some of these games slip away.
They needed PCA afterall!
Again, another SP whose Stuff looked nothing like it should due to being tired. You Have to go 6 man rotation now!!! Who?!?! I personally would go Little because now that he's fixed the walks, his stuff has always been great, he's been on a tear.
We got to be a little careful with the pirates, they've been winning a bit lately lol
Edward Cabrera Marlins on the last year, 27 is the 🎯 to me and I don't know why you couldn't get him today. He will have a Arietta type leap here imo. 95-98 w/a Good Sinker. 5+ pitches. 3.99 era on the year but 1.98 since May 1st. He doesn't cost you Top Prospects. This is the guy you go get Today!!!
Home stand coming up, winning won't matter for a while. ricketts will socialize, do a beer snake or two and enjoy the sunny weather. He will look around see a full stadium, merch on everybody, beer flowing, TV behind a double pay wall. Fully aware that the fans love him and he can always blame poor Jed, he will put away the checkbook, with a big smile on his face, things don't get any better in Wrigleyville…
Ben Brown's days are numbered. When Shota come back, he is going to AAA or DFA. I say call up Kenta Maeda too.
Awwww what happened Kap the Cubs looking very fraudulent 😂😂
June Swoon
Instead of winning series 2-1, they have been losing series 2-1 now to better quality opponents. That smoke and mirrors pitching staff is starting to show its true self.
Got beat by a better team again.
Boycott Wrigley Fields now! Da loveable losers forever cubbies gots no heart. Down theys go. Wirlin verlin breakdancer froms Crestwood IL b criens. Amysully b eatins out of da dumpster. Stops da nonsenses cubbies b done. Take that Cap. 🤘🃏🎸🥃🍺🤤🪦🧚🙉🧱🦉🦨😎🌜🤣😂
I said all along that they will win the division, but they will have to get more pitching at the deadline to do anything in the playoffs.
I finally found a way to hear you without that idiot J Hood. I sincerely hope I can continue to hear you without your big mouth wife.
I'd argue they were never in the series.
My opinion…this series against the Pirates could be tough. But ultimately I think we will be fine for the season…BUT this was a very telling series. This team is NOT a world series contender…not yet.
Not beating Phillies in Playoffs.
Phillies took the Season Series 4-2
Dansby looks and plays like a bum
Tucker is a rental. Go all in trade for an ace and a closer. Or sit still and just win the division
Brown put them behind the eight ball from the get go. He needs to be better or replaced.
You are right by my house in Woodridge. Great golf course!
That's now 7 series lost against potential playoff teams (LA, SD, Phi, SF, NY, Det). Despite being atop the Central; doesn't inspire confidence that this team will go deep in the playoffs when they're unable to win against "winning teams".
Time to break out the Wintrust debit card and get a freaking starter! The starters have held on so far but without reinforcements they aren’t going anywhere. Probably will win the division but that’s about the extent of it. Mindy, what say you?
How in the world without spending and big names do the red pegions manage to be fighting for that top spot
I say that Brown should not start again. He is horrible. Sorry but I have zero trust in him. Let’s slot someone else as a starter and send him to the bullpen. Period.
2-4 against the Tigers and Phillies. We still haven't found a suitable replacement for Steele and Imanga. Tucker dropped a catchable fly ball. If the wind continues to blow in at Wrigley against the Pirates, I expect low offensive output from the Cubs since they rely heavily on HRs to score runs. It may be a long, painful series
Seems like Ben is struggling. Let’s regroup and start a new winning streak. Cubs need to tighten up the weak links .
Kap, you and the sister-in-law, find us a way to win tomorrow night ok⚾️
Ben brown needs an opener everytime he pitches till shota comes back
Ben Brown reminds me of a Keegan Thompson a few years back…. Some outings lights out and then others complete horse crap.
Being back at the Creeky Confines will do wonders for us. There's nothing quite like singing, flying our W flags and spilling beer on each other.
Cubs slink back to Chicago like dogs with their tails between their legs after going 4-5 on this road trip winning only the Nats series. Pitching coach Hottovy was caught by lip readers asking supposed Ace, Ben Brown, “Do you know WTF you’re doing?” Good job doubling your ERA today, Ben, while three-dimensional chess master, Craig Counsell, left you out there for 100 pitches to dangle in the wind. KAP, who is mostly obsessed with this team rightly had not too many positives in the REKAP today, because there were none. Cubs pitching is being exposed for being about as pedestrian as you can get with no help from Ricketts in sight. We all saw how Cabby fared today. No surprise there. Still trying to figure out why Counsell didn’t lift Brown when Schwarber was up with men on 2nd and 3rd? But I can’t get in Counsell’s head. The only positive is that the NL Central is so weak that the Cubs, barring their usual trade deadline collapse, will surely make it to one round of the playoffs. But with no pitching help you can forget about advancing.
The Cubs need an ace
I would assume Brown goes to the bullpen when Shota returns. Brown might be better suited for the bullpen anyway.
Jed Hoyer better find starting pitching help. Rea& Brown just are not guys you can count n right now. I’d put Flexen in the rotation and send Brown to Iowa. He needs to work on finding another pitch. Rea should just be a long BP guy. That means Hoyer better find a SP-Chris Sale anybody?!
This team has been mowed down as of late against good pitching, the kind you would face in the playoffs. This is not a deep playoff team yet let alone a World Series contender. The cheap shopping they did over the winter may come back to haunt them in the end. Washed up closer, Cast off bullpen pitchers , no additional front line starter, wasting money on a washed up Turner. The list goes on and on!
STILL kicking the dead birds ASS! 🔥🔥🔥
