1. Man all you really have to do against this team is throw strikes huh.

2. Fucking insanity. We just can’t get any batted ball luck lol.

3. The most recent nine-inning perfect game in Major League Baseball that was also completed in under 90 pitches was thrown by David Cone in 1999. He achieved the feat with 88 pitches.

4. Interesting no one else in his family is a red head

5. Scherzer on his way to a Maddux.

6. As frustrating as it is that some of these aren’t ending up as hits, I’m hopeful that the Cubs starting to hit the ball hard again is the start of the offense heating back up.

7. Keep stinging balls and hustlin boys. I know it’s frustrating, but keep grinding. That kid can smack an old vet. We gotta like it.

8. Taylor can you confirm that Owen’s dad sells propane and propane accessories?

9. I know he’s done nothing so far. But I’m glad we didn’t trade Cassie for a random pitcher. Cassie + PCA is years of control of a hopefully incredible duo. If we traded him to acquire Alcantara or someone, at *best* we would have won 3-4 more games at this point, and we’d still be like 4 GB lol

10. I can’t watch today. How’s Boyd looking?

11. I’m sure he’ll laugh about it later but if I was Cassie id kinda wonder if the baseball gods were mad at me lol

12. We don’t deserve Boyd

13. I love Matthew Boyd

14. I can’t really state how much I love JD

15. Boyd is a monster

16. Man he clobbered the first pitch he saw off a future hall of famer and it got robbed😭

    This game truly shows though the jays are a much better team and that we are true stinkers compared to them):

19. This game will be over before 4PM Central Time.

20. I feel like their CF has caught 8 baseballs at that exact spot this series

21. Think we have about 5 flyouts in the same spot this series

22. Scherzer gonna throw a perfect game with 24 100mph+ lineouts

23. Thanks Dansby

24. Which baseball god did we piss off, lord.

    Keep swinging boys!!

25. Atta boy Swanson

26. Finally. Feels like they are roping everything and it’s not finding grass

27. Scherzer is getting lit up. I thought that was gonna be vacuumed up as well

28. I believe Canada is a backwards place, and that Dansby was the first Cub on base strengthens my belief.

29. Lets go about time its not right at an outfielder

30. Dang the CF just snagged that as it bounced over his head. Could’ve gotten wacky out there

31. one of em had to fall in eventually. we’ve been getting a lot of loud contact early

32. All but 2 hits have been mid 90s or better (Busch 104)

33. This is downright disrespectful. Cubs hitting it hard, all for outs (till Dansby).

34. Shaw looks like he doesnt want to swing but instinctually does

35. that was yucky

36. first bad at bat from Shaw in a while

37. That pitch was really nasty, good god

38. 4 gingers on the roster, that’s gotta be lucky, right? Like a clover?

39. This feels like when I’m mindlessly grinding MLB the Show while watching YouTube or something and I’m just hitting rockets on the first pitch every time but the CPU makes a crazy play lol

40. Gotta get Busch out of leadoff.

41. Soooooo do we need to hit the weight room? We’re living at the warning track

42. I would love for the Cubs to draft a Scherzer type and keep him his whole career. Maybe it is Horton.

43. Hit rockets all over the field until there’s a man in scoring position. Then 2 shitty at bats! That is indeed Cub
