@chisportsfan_ @mitch_santini This guy gets it

[The Setup Man - Chicago Cubs YT Channel @SetupManKyle]

@mitch_santini Just look up the Cubs 2 best stretches last year. Do the math and see what their winning percentage was when they were NOT at their best.
It’s a much different picture than this year.
That’s the point

[The Setup Man - Chicago Cubs YT Channel @SetupManKyle]

@mitch_santini Oh good. You do know the difference between facts and arguments. I was starting to worry

[The Setup Man - Chicago Cubs YT Channel @SetupManKyle]

@mitch_santini That’s one way to look at it.
Also, who is arguing? I’m just stating facts

[The Setup Man - Chicago Cubs YT Channel @SetupManKyle]

Baseball is situational. You can’t say “Seiya flew out, so Nico woulda scored.”
There are so many factors that would have been different
-The pitcher would have approached the situation differently
-Seiya’s mindset for his at bat would have changed
-they may have even intentionally walked Seiya

Too many unknowns to assume

[The Setup Man - Chicago Cubs YT Channel @SetupManKyle]

If you think Craig Counsell should have bunted with Bregman in the 9th last night, you might want to remind yourself of what Seiya’s numbers are this year with a runner on 3rd less than 2 outs

[The Setup Man - Chicago Cubs YT Channel @SetupManKyle]

@bleacherbum099 You can look at all of the other categories with runners on. Not much silver lining to find

[The Setup Man - Chicago Cubs YT Channel @SetupManKyle]

And you can’t say “but Seiya flew out! Nico would have scored”
That’s not how baseball works

[The Setup Man - Chicago Cubs YT Channel @SetupManKyle]

When the Cubs are not in the midst of a 10-game win streak, they are 12-29

[The Setup Man - Chicago Cubs YT Channel @SetupManKyle]

The player’s didn’t deserve the fans to put in the effort they did in the 9th, but these INCREDIBLE fans did it anyway.
Bregman
Seiya
Happ
You should be ashamed

[Chicago Cubs @Cubs]

FINAL: A's 2, Cubs 1.

[The Setup Man - Chicago Cubs YT Channel @SetupManKyle]

Do something, Bregman

[The Setup Man - Chicago Cubs YT Channel @SetupManKyle]

Today I learned that Dodger fans are not only really good at picking fights with their own… but they are also great at parking cars 🤣

One of the best “shut up” games from any player I’ve seen

[The Setup Man - Chicago Cubs YT Channel @SetupManKyle]

@Jason_Allen_14 Has nothing to do with liking or not liking. Has everything to do with completely underperforming on a contract.

[The Setup Man - Chicago Cubs YT Channel @SetupManKyle]

And together they make up close to 20% of our payroll
Fannnnnntastic

[Alex Brault @AjBrault]

Jameson Taillon HRs allowed: 19

@JeffPassan I covered the @JUCOWorldSeries in GJ for 7 years. It was my favorite week of the year. True love for the game from those guys

[The Setup Man - Chicago Cubs YT Channel @SetupManKyle]

Apparently the Cubs’ number of the year is 10

[The Setup Man - Chicago Cubs YT Channel @SetupManKyle]

If you are in that Cubs clubhouse, how do you even begin to muster up hope for the rest of this season?
12-1 loss to make it 10 in a row has to be the most deflating feeling for a team that was in 1st place last week.

PS: as a fan, I’m asking myself the same question

[The Setup Man - Chicago Cubs YT Channel @SetupManKyle]

@stressedcubfan I can definitely get behind this
