It’s time to have a serious talk about this baseball team, says #kap after the #chicagocubs were blown out by the #stlouiscardinals. #benbrown is likely headed for a demotion after another terrible performance. But Kap is all over #craigcounsell after he left him in, allowing 4 HRs and 8 earned before being pulled. The offense hadn’t been consistent and the starting pitching has been pathetic. This team is spinning its wheels and better get it figured out quick.

I don't at all believe the Cards or the Brewers can put a full season together and take the division. One of them may be a WC but I strongly believe the Cubs have this division in the end by 6 or more.
Cubs could be sellers if they don't right the ship
Ben Brown was left out there to die on the mound. Maybe hes sticking it to Jed?
Calm down Kap we play another day.
Brown is not a MLB starter. It requires more than 2 pitches. Fastball and curve mix is a reliever
Counsell did the same thing with Rea yesterday when he sent him back out there for the 6th after they got back in the game.
Why was Swanson, batting 4th? That's ridiculous! Smh!
Pen is gassed kap. Can’t win em all. Gotta let Ben eat it because he won’t be with the club after Thursday. Relax. SP trades gonna go down later this week too, the main issue is these bats CANT HIT LEFTY STARTERS. they need to get that figured out
FACTS AND TRUTH KAP.
The Ben Brown in the starting rotation experiment is over. Its great Shota Imanga is coming back but this rotation is so average, bullpen has some leaks and offense is starting to look like feast and famine. Jed Hoyer bother make some moves really fast
Should of got top starting pitcher when they knew Steele was out for the season, cheapskates
Absolute crap performance tonight. 💩 Brown’s neck is probably pretty sore from having to look over his shoulder at baseballs flying out of the yard all night. He needs to be on the next shuttle back to Iowa to get it together.
This team needs a wake-up call. Just not good enough in any way lately, and now they’re in real trouble of falling out of first place after this road trip. Gotta at least split in STL to avoid disaster. Three games in Houston after that won’t be easy.
What happened to the offense that put so much pressure on teams in April/May?
Why does Counsell always pull pitchers late. He leaves these guys in to get bombed. That is what has been happening. Brown should have been on a very short leash tonight.
Ben Brown needs to go back down.
Dont worry, Kap. Taillon will give up home runs tomorrow, too.
Bank on it.😂
Starters are only good for 3 innings if that many
Brown & Rea are killing us. They cannot make another start. Taillon isn’t much better. Where the hell is Assad?Swanson at the plate is killing us. Happ at the plate with risp is killing us. And really, Brujan & Berti are our utility guys? That’s the best we got? Cut one & bring somebody up. Ballesteros?
The yearly Chicago Cubs collapse has begun
This game was 🥴😵💫🤦♂️I hope they get this out of their system and start winning series.
Kap, I'm with you. I would have had the bullpen going and after the 2nd home run, I would have pulled Brown
This whole Justin Turner and his -0.3 WAR is our DH or 1B against lefties. God please DFA turner im over seeing him in the lineup. His bat is absolutely DEAD. See ya Ben Brown 👋
BASES LOADED ONE OUT. DOUBLE PLAY BALL. The CUBS NEVER BUNT THE BASE BALL, THATS WHAT THE BUNT IS FOR. HAPP IS THE KIND OF PLAYER WHOSE GAME NEEDS THAT SKILL. HIS HIT TOOL IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH IN THOSE SPOTS. I Am A FAN WHO NEEDS TO SEE A LOT MORE BUTT HITS.
Why the hell is dansby batting 4th ahead of pca? Dansby was a beast when he was batting 8th and now you are getting zero production from him offensively. You would think for someone being paid 8 mill a year they could figure out the lineup has a massive hole right in the middle with dansby batting 4th and 5th
This is reminiscent of the last two years. This ship seems like it's sinking.
Think we save our pen, so we can hopefully take the next 3…..
Counsell didn't have a bad day, he's a wealthy man.
Surprised they're still leading the division. Betting by all-star break they're not.
Hitting weak, I still can't stand watching Tucker swing. Outfield defense looks terrible outside of PCA speed plays. Good team… not great.
Kap,I said the EXACT same thing! This game hours later still has me PISSED OFF!! TAKE THAT!!
Ben Brown is NOT…. NOT!!!!! a starter!!! take that!
Happless, Tucker, Suzuki and Donesby Swanson were a combined 1 for 16 for our mighty Cubbies tonight. Take that!
Here's a dirty little secret: our offensive juggernaut can't hit good left-handed starting pitching.
Ben Brown dfa.
2 to 3 starter pitchers and sit happ and put owen in there everyday
