God forbid a guy on the team who is trying to keep the mood light with an offense that's in a complete funk. It's obviously locker room humor. He was down in the tunnel where cameras couldn't see him and had Suzuki laughing, also having fun.
It's a 162 game season. A leader does keep the clubhouse attitude level when struggling.
The only issue that I have with Counsell is moving Swanson back up in the order. He was clearly thriving in 7 or 8 hole.
The Cubs have lost their #1 and #2 starters this year and are 15 over .500 and we'll out ahead of the division. His guys need to be a TON better situationally. All he can do is put them in position to win. The players, specifically the stars, need to pick up their end of the couch.
You must be fun at parties
Happy we won but we haven't got a hit with a RISP since Wednesday.
Likely going to split a 4 game set at home against the worst team in the NL since the Rockies aren't really a major league baseball team.
I mean it's not all Counsell's fault. Most of this lineup has proven that they can't hit top of the line pitchers. Our 3 hole hitter is an automatic out almost against any good pitcher. He gets struck out in 3 pitches 1-2 times per game. He rarely has productive outs. Most of this lineup has been proven as average at best MLB players. We added Kyle Tucker to the lineup, but he's been struggling.
We probably make the playoffs, but every starting pitcher we face in the playoffs will be guys most of our lineup simply do not produce against.
Dansby got a hit with RISP! A nice, solid opposite field single.
[ W ] alkoff!
It's pretty hard to believe that we won 3 out of 4 in a series (and could have easily swept) where we only score 9 runs. (That includes 2 extra innings with ghost runners)
Why didn't Counsel challenge the first baseman foot off the bag in the first?

Because we have an inept video person feeding him poor information LOL.
Looking like a team that's even on paper with the 100 loss potential Pirates is not a good thing.
It's why we lost 2 of 3 to the struggling Phillies missing their best player and 2 of 3 to the Tigers. Not being able to hit washed bums like Flaherty is no bueno and eventually it'll be too late to fix.

Did they pick up the Bears guy?
The Dodgers have 17 pitchers on the IL including Snell, Sasaki, Treinan, Glasnow, Gonsolin, and Graterol.

Interesting. Wonder if that's just bad luck or if their conditioning/strength team is (at least) part of the problem...
With their payroll, I have 0 sympathy
I also wonder if there’s a particular pitch or grip they’re teaching that’s leading to injuries. Like the old split-finger.
It’s interesting for Cubs fans because, the way things are playing out, the Dodgers look like a strong possibility to be the future Divisional round opponent.
I mean maybe, but there are also 90 games left and these teams are all like within 4-5 games of each other. Dodgers could still easily be the #1 seed or miss the playoffs altogether. Over half the season left
Bielema and Luke signing the stretch tonight at Wrigley -- Bret kills it -- "Brewers fans, sit down, Cubs fans, let me hear you..."
PCA dee-stroyed that ball.
