I'm so surprised that the starter whose velocity was inexplicably down 4 mph over his last 3 starts has a shoulder injury! Craziness!

The amount of #Cubs players getting thrown out at 3rd or home this year would typically get a 3B coach fired

Brutal night for Boyd to totally lose the strike zone

NYT: "Why that's bad news for the Tigers"

I love the idea of the #Cubs adding one or two SP at the deadline and bumping Ben Brown to the bullpen where his 2 pitch mix has a better shot at consistently succeeding. In the same way that adding a 3B strengthens the Cubs bench by adding Shaw to the bench, adding a SP or two can give pen a boost

I'm definitely curious about the cost to acquire Castro vs Suarez. Love the idea of getting Castro to basically protect every position against injury.

I'd add a Gallen or Alcantara or Bieber to this list as the 2nd starter we add, but I'm with you on Cabrera/Iglesias.

Feels like the #Cubs are going pretty majorly underslot with almost every draft pick so far. @bleachernation.bsky.social any idea who they might be saving up to go after? Someone like Jack Bauer? 🤞🏻🤞🏻

The Athletic had an article the other day where they surveyed front offices to see which prospects are most likely to be traded and according to Jim Bowden: "Caissie was the prospect mentioned the most by execs — and it wasn’t even close."

Goodbye, my sweet Canadian prince 🍁

Normally not one to be like "that 3rd base coach made one mistake get rid of him" but yikes have the #Cubs had some head scratching 3rd base coaching this year.

I was today-years-old when I learned that a regular season baseball game in June could destroy me

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

"We cannot build bananas in America" is an all-time great

PCA! No way that had an out probability of greater than like 10% wow #Cubs

Feels good seeing him drive and elevate the other way and up the middle, definitely going to all fields with power when he's at his best

It was incredible watching a Marquee headline scroll across the ticker on the bottom that said "Why Pressly still has the Cubs' trust" while he was pitching in the 6th in a blowout

Do you think Pressly's success is sustainable? The curve looks really good, but I feel like we've gotten lucky that he hasn't broken yet

I love how simple the swing is. Doesn't feel like there's any wasted movement in there.

Especially since ABS challenging worked so well during Spring Training, it's crazy to not have that this season. This game has been shockingly horrible

Okay my feelings exaggerated it a bit but #Cubs K% before the game today with a runner on 3rd and less than 2 outs is 31%. Oof.

This is almost certainly just an emotional fact, but despite how elite our offense has been, it feels like we have a 50% K rate with runners on 3rd and less than 2 outs.

Oh my gosh it got meaningfully worse

Wrigley is crazy #Cubs

Panic! [about unrelenting fascist creep] At The Disco [celebrating the unrelenting dominant Cubs]

This joke is for a very specific demographic.

This dude's swing looks so much like Judge's it's crazy

I want the Cubs to lock up Cohen to a massive extension almost as much as I want a PCA extension!

The amount of "all-time great" Cubs games we've had this season is out of control. My heart

My biggest takeaway from this game is that we need to sign Alex Cohen to a massive extension IMMEDIATELY
