  1. What a lineup Jed put together this year, well done.

    “Pitching and defense”

  2. It’s like watching the same rerun each night, no offense

    What does a good offense even look like at this point?

  3. It’s truly baffling that no one on this pitching staff can pitch with a lead. It’s just as bad as hitters being completely incapable of hitting with runners in scoring position.

    Both of these things have made Cubs’ games very predictable of late. The offense puts together a good inning or two early on. The starter immediately gives up a couple of runs in response. This is usually made worse by the bullpen coming in and letting the deficit grow. All life in the offense completely disappears once they fall behind.

    You gotta love 2023 Cub baseball.

  4. Kind of looking like they are giving up. I only got to watching a few innings, but zero energy and a lot of hanging heads.

    I really hate to watch it come to this.

  5. Predictable cubs narrative: look good and score in one or two early innings, then do nothing offensively the rest of the game.

  6. What ends first: My reddit usage with RiF shutdown on June 30th or watching the 2023 Cubs fail to play to their potential?

  7. David Ross s probably a good dude. But he is terrible in front of the mic and managing the cubs.

  8. Only scoring runs in three innings of a whole series is not going to win you a lot of games

  9. Pitching and defense….we may have to sac our defense for some better bullpen pieces. And our offense is shot. At this point let’s put the blame on every single person in the organization including the fucking players
