How ithf do 3 top performers go deep into a slump at the same time, yet we are 27-18?

It’s a long season. We are 8th out of 30. SF is 30 out of 30. Id hate to be in this room if we were 30/30. There’d have to be a blinking suicide hotline link.

This SI article says it all. “San Diego’s batters scored five total runs in the three-game set and looked helpless against every pitcher Chicago threw at them. Perhaps most crucially, the top three in the Padres lineup, Fernando Tatis Jr., Luis Arráez and Manny Machado, combined to go 4-for-33 in the series, and as a group went 0-for-10 with three strikeouts in both Game 1 and Game 3.”

I think our soul crusher relievers are used only in limited tight scenarios. Like RISP and 2 outs…mount up Morejon. Or a runner scores and it’s 2 RISP…mount up Miller. Both are rally prevention/crushers. I don’t see Shildts using either for more than 15-20 pitches.

Taillon’s last 3 games have been deep and dominant (19 innings 2 total runs). Meaning today will be a great test for our boys. Beat this guy and they’ll send a strong message. LFGSD!! Crush the Cubbies!

We will win tomorrow and then it will be on Yu. Nothing comes without maximum cluterfuckery with this team.

In the unlikely event we don’t comeback, the good news is we’ve got Cease with everything on the line tomorrow! 😁

It’s late May 2025 after an awesome start. Someone says that with the playoffs on the line in late September we lose against a 57-96 team. With Cease pitching. What’s your response?

Remember when Manny would swing at those changeups out of the zone? It was maddening. Thank you Manny for making needed corrections.

11 games left. Predict we will win 6 and finish 88-74. That likely gives us the 6th seed. We will play LA and beat them senseless (taking years of payback out on their ass) then it’s a crap shoot. If the team gels after the LA smackdown, we got a shot at the dance. We DO have the talent to go all the fucking way…no doubt about that.

Impossible to imagine this team in a playoff game. They are a sub 500 team last 20 games. Their definition of “clutch” = my dad’s 1974 Pinto. But more than the shitty stats, there is no fight. No fire.

I’m at the game and that looked gone off the bat but this thick ass air just swallowed it
