No plans to leave Twitter (I literally need it for my job lmao), but with lots of friends and people I follow heading to other platforms, I decided it's finally time to cave. You are now free to yell at me on Bluesky!

Pete Crow-Armstrong Becomes First Player to Reach the 20/20 Mark This Season! https://t.co/I2t55ndFTg

Think about the salary range at your job, what you aspire to make some day.

Now imagine, the best person in your job is Juan Soto, and the "owners" of your industry open negotiations with "We believe salaries should be capped at 1/3 of a Soto as the baseline in perpetuity" 1/3

[Matt Clapp @TheBlogfines]

Like, as I said, I would've left Rolison in with the hope of trying to get through the 7th.

But when your 3 other relievers allow 8 ER over 4 outs worth, that's just on the pitching and the situation. Thielibar and Webb were going to "have" to pitch anyway, for example.

@Pur_Orange There's never such a thing as too many tacos

[Mike Petriello @mike_petriello]

Outfielders only. PCA way ahead, as he should be.

I think the occasional bonehead mistake obscures just how incredible he is out there, honestly.

PETE CROW-ARMSTRONG COMPLETES THE CYCLE ‼️

[Steven @GoCubs49]

Katie’s article is fantastic and something you’d see on a best of the year for a national publication. I strongly encourage giving it a read. I share a lot of the same thoughts as a Christian.

Great paragraph to close things out.

[Michael Cerami @Michael_Cerami]

Yo. Ben Brown just hit 99 MPH.

[Ryan O'Rourke @BuntingForPower]

Well, today was... exciting.

[Jacob Zanolla @jacobzanolla]

I’m afraid the Cubs have officially hit rock bottom. Back-to-back series losses to the Giants and Rockies may be the final straw

[Michael Cerami @Michael_Cerami]

Alex Bregman simply has to do better for this team.

[Matt Clapp @TheBlogfines]

That game was the offense summarized for the last month (so was yesterday aside from Pete).

Just brutal at-bats there in the 10th inning.

[Ryan O'Rourke @BuntingForPower]

I did not think I could get any more frustrated with this Cubs team. I was so so so wrong.

[Chicago Cubs @Cubs]

.@ofcwrigleyfield ARE YOU DOING OKAY?!

[Ryan O'Rourke @BuntingForPower]

OMG PCA AGAIN!

[MLB @MLB]

PCA WALKS IT OFF ‼️

The @Cubs score FOUR in the ninth inning!

[Ryan O'Rourke @BuntingForPower]

[This] is a new low

[Brendan Miller @brendan_cubs]

There are losses that you shrug off. "Yup, that's a normal loss."

There's losing streaks that feel the same. "Yup, that's baseball."

Then there's losses like these—during slumps like these—that make you feel like as if something's fundamentally wrong. These are the worst.

[Brendan Miller @brendan_cubs]

Jordan Wicks had an opportunity to demonstrate he could be a valuable immediate asset for this team. That’s about as bad as it gets. Unless this staff remains depleted, he may not get another chance soon.
