The slump ends tonight
I’m ready to be hurt again. 😭
Another tweak to the lineup tonight with Tucker DHing in the three spot
Busch – 1B
Happ – LF
Tucker – DH
PCA – CF
Castro – RF
Hoerner – 2B
Swanson – SS
McGuire – C
Shaw – 3B
Really making the most out of Castro’s versatility
Castro to play every position before the end of the season.
Castro is getting used like it was a bad idea to play without a bench for four months
Suzuki has 6 hits in his last 67 PAs, with one of those being a double. Since the shot in the first inning against Boston coming out of the break landed in the basket he’s been horrendous.
Hopefully the off day helps, because there aren’t any answers against LHP if Suzuki isn’t mashing them.
If we get base runners can we steal some bags? We’re at our best when swiping bags
It is Shotaday, my dudes.
Winning tonight, i guarantee it👍
Hey, a win would be cool tonight
Aaaand Nate Pearson is back. This team really just hasn’t learned from their mistakes.
Since [the start of July](https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders/major-league?pos=all&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=0&type=8&season=2025&month=1000&season1=2025&ind=0&team=0%2Cts&rost=&age=&filter=&players=0&startdate=2025-07-01&enddate=2025-11-01&sortcol=18&sortdir=default) the Cubs have been on the low end of the middle of the pack in baserunning.
Not coincidentally, PCA and Hoerner only have four swipes each in that timeframe, and Tucker only 3.
Imagine calling up Nate Pearson a known fucking bum
Let’s get that W
Im just hoping this is the slump we “get out of the way” before September. And not a repeat of the last two years
A win would nice if that’s not asking too much
Jed getting interviewed on pregame. Says he knew about the injury risk and velocity loss, and thought it was worth the risk.
If you need to catch up on sleep, this’ll be the game for you.
I feel like they should call up Ballesteros or Caissie just for the energy boost. This team has looked lifeless lately
Let’s go Cubs!! We’re a good team that hasn’t played like it lately. But letting ourselves be negative isn’t going to help. Let’s cheer hard and kick off a win streak!
