In 2 games against the Pirates the Cubs offense is 1-23 with RISP They have left 27 runners on base😂 PATHETIC #Cubs #MLB

Craig Counsell took Moises Ballesteros bat out of the lineup in the 6th inning today He would’ve gotten FOUR more AB’s if he stayed in the game One of your best PURE hitters getting treated like this is unacceptable David Ross could’ve done this for a lot cheaper! #Cubs #MLB

The vibes around this team had started to shift back positive after the last two games in Tampa… Now after the first two games against the Pirates you can’t find a single positive thing to say #Cubs #MLB

Dansby Swanson being one of the highest paid players on the Cubs is a bigger issue than we realize This team needed an anchor in the lineup to build around not a glove first league average hitter This team can’t afford to have a $25m/year bottom of the order bat #Cubs #MLB

This reminds me a lot of Dansby saying “it’s only June” back in 2024… The Cubs went on to finish 83-79 and miss the playoffs that year This organization needs to stop with the constant “wait and see” approach Change the lineup around and let’s have some URGENCY! #Cubs #MLB

Might be the first lineup that makes some sense… HAMMER THAT CUBS MONEYLINE FOLKS 🔨 #Cubs #MLB

The Cubs 7th and 8th inning bullpen arms are now on the IL Bridging the gap between the starters and Palencia is starting to look really rough… They won’t make a trade this early so someone is going to have to step up in a big way #Cubs #MLB

YOU HAVE TO STOP LEAVING BREAKING PITCHES THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE ZONE!!! #Cubs #MLB

This is exactly what happens when you build a team around “safe” high-floor veteran players 2025 was just an overachievement and we are destined for another 83-79 season Honestly 83 wins might even be a long shot at this point. #Cubs #MLB

Runner on 2nd with 0 outs and you don’t score a run… The Cubs are now 0-578 with 4,000 runners left on base Our AAA team probably could’ve put together a better performance this weekend. #Cubs #MLB

Dansby homers and the Cubs are only down 83 runs now! #Cubs #MLB

Taillon having 8 strikeouts today is really encouraging… If you ignore the 6 runs he’s given up #Cubs #MLB

10 K’s for Taillon today - in the same game he has given up 6 runs Gotta love this Wrigley weather! #Cubs #MLB

STOP PINCH HITTING FOR MOISES BALLESTEROS OMG #Cubs #MLB

Be a hero Bregman #Cubs #MLB

Be a hero Happ #Cubs #MLB

Ian Happ should never bat higher than Seiya Suzuki… The L/R every other batter in the lineup DOES NOT MATTER once the starter leaves the game. ALWAYS give your best hitters the most AB’s - Counsell strikes again! #Cubs #MLB

Lowe 100% did not go around on that Would be really upset if it happened to us- You should be able to use your challeneh on check swing calls (Pirates would not have one available in this case though) #Cubs #MLB

Now it’s time for the gauntlet- @ PHI (3) vs NYM (3) vs PHI (4) @ LAD (3) @ SD (3) vs ARI (3) vs CIN (4) @ TEX (3) @ ATL (3) Over the next month the Cubs will play 29 games against playoff contending teams This is the litmus test for the 2026 Chicago Cubs #Cubs #MLB

Some much needed perspective for us Cub fans- Brewers just got swept by the Nationals at home Reds just lost 2/3 against the Angels at home Phillies just lost 2/3 against the Diamondbacks at home Mets just got swept by the Athletics at home Season isn’t over! #Cubs #MLB
