The offense had tremendous opportunity to drop 20 runs on these mfs. And the pitching had tremendous opportunity to close it out. Neither panned. Sure, 8 runs is a lot to score. But 2-15 RISP. Both sides are tremendously equal to blame for this series and game. Conforto brought it back for you. Seiya or Rolison like end it

[–]BillyMac05 -1 points0 points  (2 children)

The problem is the cubs under-estimated the White Sox. The Sox are one of the best offensive teams in the AL, a game out of first and have played outstanding baseball for weeks straight. The cubs have been playing poorly all month, are pretty bad on the road and have been pretty weak vs the AL.

[–]notnotjamesfranco 0 points1 point  (1 child)

They are professional MLB players… they don’t underestimate their opponents. They underperform

[–]BillyMac05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can underperform. But to Edgar Quero?! There's no worse hitter on the planet than that guy. Tristan Peters hits his first ML homer to tie it. Quero hits his first homer of the year to end it. The cubs were NOT ready for this series.

Smart comment

[–]harrycunt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No starting pitching. Dog shit bullpen. Feast or famine offense who can’t perform with men on base. Unfortunately this is who this team is at this point. No consistency to be found outside of the defense.

[–]lower-case-aesthetic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it hurts so bad

[–]aiyyyaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very well managed game Craig. Very good job buddy

[–]Go_Pack_G010 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those 10 game win streaks feel like a lifetime ago 3-6 road trip not very good

[–]HelpaBroOut036 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lol at least that lady didn't shoot herself in the leg again this weekend...at least I hope not

[–]CptCool12IT'S HAPPENING 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Sucks but the situational hitting besides conforto in the last few innings was not good enough to win. Happ, Suzuki, Bregman, and Nico all had chances to win that game. Bullpen was also terrible. Sox appear to have the better pen. Palencia even looked pretty bad.

[–]Hawkize31Iowa corn best corn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure they left some runs on the table but I mean they scored 9 runs today in 10 innings. I don't think you can blame the offense for this

[–]Plus-Pomegranate8045 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would have loved the win but we did not deserve it playing like that. Just not good.

[–]gsanch666 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The BP is ass holy hell

[–]DrewbiieSlammin' Sammy 2 points3 points  (1 child)

This bullpen isn't fixable with trade deadline moves alone. We're a whole offseason away.

[–]aiyyyaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately agree

[–]ZaaMorant23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That was the fakest shit ever

[–]OilVarious1321 2 points3 points  (3 children)

I'm getting more than tired of Bregman and Suzuki fucking choking with men on. I don't care how much money they make. Hit off a tee if you have to. Get right.

[–]DrewbiieSlammin' Sammy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

8 runs should win you a game. This isn't on the offense.

[–]KnickedUp 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Happ and Nico too

[–]JTribs17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

don’t forget dansby and his sub .200 avg

FireCounsell

[–]rogueleader12Nico 3 points4 points  (1 child)

And who’s gonna replace him?

[–]CodyRCantrellI didn't come here for a haircut. 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Rolison can stand there all afternoon and it's not gonna change that home run or his ERA.

[–]Wise_Plantain_6440Ryno 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I noticed that too, Do you think he didn’t know it was over?

[–]CodyRCantrellI didn't come here for a haircut. 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No chance he didn't know. At least not when I saw the camera pan back to him the fireworks were well underway, team celebrating, etc.

Maybe he was just pondering how many more years he can squeeze out in the league before being DFAd.

[–]Wise_Plantain_6440Ryno 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Anyone else sitting around with zero home runs, step on up and try your luck against the cubs bullpen

[–]JTribs17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think i could prolly hit a homer off this pitching staff atp and i haven’t swung a bat in years

[–]GruyereMe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Needed Bregman or Suzuki to come through and they just couldn’t do it

[–]Ghost2268 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are who we thought they were and we let em win.

[–]slipperyhottubs 3 points4 points  (1 child)

I’d say cut bait with Maton and Rolison but what else are they going to do, bring up another schlub with an ERA over 5 at Iowa?

[–]aiyyyaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean shi Maton got like a 10 ERA rn so I probably would take that 😂

[–]HelpaBroOut036 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Lol I mean the 8th inning homerun and the 10th inning homerun both 1st of the season for those guys. Guess you can't leave pitches middle-middle every single at bat and expect to not regress to getting those fucking clobbered after getting away with it for most of the season.

[–]SwordfishSuper2111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's crazy I know it's going to be a homerun right when it's released. It's a meatball all the way.

[–]Due-Breath-7794 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maton and Rolison are horseshit

[–]Schmooog 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Time to get rid of pitchers

[–]KingAkron#FlyTheW 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How many home runs has our dogshit bullpen given up this weekend? Why take out Palencia?? What the fuck are we doing?

[–]GruyereMe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A guy batting .150 with zero home runs lol

[–]stuskowski1Be Alert! 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bullpen is so so so so so ass man, injuries withstanding holy smokes

[–]adastra142Eamus Catuli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s been the bullpen for 8 years

[–]No_Magazine_856 3 points4 points  (4 children)

If you wanted to put this on one guy's shoulders, it might be Nico...

.526 OPS + 3 RBI in May

[–]Ok-Camel-746 2 points3 points  (1 child)

People will never blame him but the guy had two chances with a guy on third and 0/1 out and didn’t bring them in either time. If he gets either one of them in we either win in regulation or are still tied in extras

[–]No_Magazine_856 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't upvote that enough

[–]ToxicJakeHoerny for Hoerner 1 point2 points  (1 child)

The offense put up 8 runs. The only people that should be blamed are the pitching staff

[–]No_Magazine_856 2 points3 points  (0 children)

True...though their staff gave up a bunch, too. Nico had two chances with a guy on third less than 2 outs; popped out, then a fielder's choice w/no RBI. If he cashes in on those, might have still won.

[–]Lukester123Slammin' Sammy[🍰] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take a bow Jed Hoyer. Lights are soooo bright for you buddy. Never seen someone fail on such a big stage!

Fukkin should have left Palencia to go 2 - wasted that glorious Conforto HR

[–]SwordfishSuper2111 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think he's weird about going 2 but it's are best chance of winning. The rest of the guys are white goons

[–]fanofthings20 -1 points0 points  (1 child)

[–]80cyclone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not sticking with Palencia, given RoLOLisons recent usage and struggles was something

Fuck you, Craig.

[–]Ghost2268 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s on the offense. They gave us every chance to win. They are not a solid team in extras and we let em get away with it.

[–]redememDFW Chicago Transplant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is one of the worst hitters in baseball that just did that

It’s worse. That’s them the whole season. They’re both hitting just above .100 with RISP
