looks like another 90 pitch complete game
The Cubs offensive approach is disgraceful and other teams have picked up on it. Through a pitch – any pitch, anywhere near the plate – and our guys will swing at it. Easy to see why we sit squarely at the bottom of the league in most offensive categories. Terrible offensive approach. This guy has pitched like ZERO innings all year. Stop swinging and stretch him out!

AUGH!
I am on day three os being smoke free
baseball is a game of outs......pop out, ground out, line out, pitch out, strike out, fly out, and Fox and Bud's favorite black out
smokes are getting too insane in cost
and I smoked American Spirit so I was at about $6.70 / pack BEFORE the tax hike, adn I cannot bring myself to pay $7 + a pack

Still expensive, but I smoke less. Better tobacco, too.

For me, once I got past day three it was pretty easy. Those first few days were rough, for sure.
I plan to use the saved $$$ from cigs
to get back into MMA, which will probably work wonders for my beat up body.

Soriano, Bradley, Lee, Theroit, Soto
Ramirez is a great hitter and by far the club’s most consistent, but this offense has enough hitters to produce well beyond what it has this year. No one has stepped up, with perhaps the exception of Lee who has been strong since Aram wend down.

I assume you aren’t talking to me. There is nothing doom and gloom in saying we have great hitters that are more than good enough to score runs. Try reading the post before writing, it might help you sound like you know what you are talking about.

Impossible
The Cubs can’t develop a position player to save their lives. Well Soto is the exception, but what took so darn long?

I’d much rather have him than Ibanez or Dunn. Wow, has he looked lost out there so far.

Ibanez and Dunn have been world's better than bradley
so not sure where that confidence is coming from. I think by the end of the season you may be right but Dunn has been very good for the Nats.
I am not giving up....
but this is looking like the beginning of a crap stretch of Cub play. We stink in bunches….

Wow that could have been accomplished and not giving up the run
Walking Duncan would have been a thought with a right handed Stavinoha coming up. 1 run is as big as 5 with the Cubs these days.
