- 4-2 homestands win divisions
Three Down:
- Shota not himself

The Dansby Swanson Game.
3⬆️
- Dansby, HR in the 2nd
- Dansby, 2-R go-ahead single
- Dansby, sick play in the hole to nab lead runner in 9.

I’m not as angry as I normally have been. Perhaps we’ve seen this too many times before .
3 Up
1. Kyle Tucker - Extend.
2. Matthew Boyd - Solid.
3. Seiya Suzuki - Splash.
3 Down
1. The entire bullpen.
2. Can’t throw strikes
3. And we’re doomed.

3⬇️
- Eugenio Suarez enters the #CubKiller Hall of Fame.

Dodgers 4, #Cubs 1.
Up
Shota looked outstanding.
Ben Brown tantalizing (still just that) and Eli Morgan effective.
Hard contact from Swanson and Amaya before June!
Down
0 for 19 after the third?!?!?
Hurry back, Nico.
Do not recommend watching a game like this on a plane. 😣

🔹 Maybe Mike Wilbon lambasted analytics because he’s a Cubs fan, and sick of Cubs Twitter telling us how great all these line drive outs are?
🔹 It’s not a favor to Kyle Hendricks to keep him employed.

🔹 No power, and no one to fear in the lineup.
🔹 Not smart to 1) send Steele out gassed for the 7th, 2) let him stay in after he hit Duvall.
🔹 Like last year, entire offense is role players. Mistake was assuming they all would take a step forward in performance in 2024.

🔹 Even at full-strength, this offense won’t be enough. The book is out on them.
🔹 Wesneski frustrates when he enters, nibbles and gives up the difference. Twice this week. But AFTER THAT he is nails. 🙄
🔹 Bench needs shaken up. What a disappointing series.

🔹 JD waited till the 8th(!) to say that Bailey F. Falter looked so hittable, the Cubs were swinging early and often. Just unlucky. Maddening approach.
🔹 Please IL Nico. Extra bats needed.
🔹(I mean, that was a bad send in the 9th, right?)

🔹It’s over for Kyle Hendricks.
🔹 Solid approach from Saturday missing in Skenes start today.
🔹Feels like wheeze down stretch last year, team seems dazed, unsure how to fix issues. And there are a lot of tough decisions upcoming.

🔹Before Steele’s breakout 2023, he was extremely iffy after 50 pitches. Seems like 2022 so far in 2024.
🔹Less Than Zero: Book by Bret Easton Ellis & also the Cubs catcher position.
🔹 Ian Happ striking out in 789 when contact is needed feels automatic.

🔹Actually was in favor of calling Curt Casali up as third catcher and pinch bat. Good luck in SFO.
🔹Catcher still an issue.
🔹Expecting IL stints for Nico and Happ, as is Cubs way. Plz stop wasting roster spots.

🔹 Ump Show. Missing inside RHB only to one team.
🔹 Unfortunate Wesneski couldn’t execute with 2 strikes and 2 outs 3x.
🔹 What if Ian Happ had been traded in 2022 at the break, as an All-Star? Now he’s Heyward with less glove and less contact. And a NTC.

🔹Supremely unlucky BABIP, all series, all week.
🔹Heart Attack Hector and Anxiety Inducing Adbert.
🔹Not sure I like PH for Busch in 9th - he’s got a propensity to K. Unfortunately, already subbed Mastro. Is this a complaint about Dusty?

🔹Not going to win many games you give up 2 3-R homers and five total.
🔹Steele, woof.
🔹Bloom is off Keegan Thompson’s rose. “It’s Groundhog Day. AGAIN.”
Win the series with … Kyle Hendricks? Again? On a Sunday? Good grief.

🔹Defense still suspect.
🔹Cubs thrive with pressure on defense, deep counts, oppo balls. So PCA and Nico need to run WAY MORE.
🔹These were dark notes around about 7:30. Thank goodness Nico was safe on that extremely iffy send.

🔹 Always 2 walks, Neris in flirting with disaster.
🔹 Hat tip to Severino, but some at-bats seemed completely noncompetitive.
🔹 I was ready to post “at least the no hitter was over so quick I only stewed for 3 hours.” Wins feel better. (**BREAKING**)

Game 28. #Cubs 4, Red Sox

🔹 4-2 record during week vs Houston and Sox is a good week. Not fun how it concluded.
🔹 Kudos to Tauchman for a clutch 3-R HR. We are due for a comeback win, yet still 17-11. 🔹 Daniel Palencia 🔥 out of the pen.
