@AldoSoto21 Before that streak started, they were 12.5 games up. At the break and after those 21 games they were still up 7. They also won 12 of 17 before that stretch of the last 21 before the break. Fowler was also hurt for a month. This team even when healthy aren't close to that team

Wish we could go back and see the takes heading into the 2016 All Star break when the Cubs lost 15 of 21.

@OleTimeHardball Florida had great teams with great managers. The Miami teams have had great players too but financially awful business decisions. The Stanton extension and then trading him shortly after and paying the Yankees to take him? Mind boggling

Is this the worst rebrand in MLB history?

@cody__cubs One big bonus is they are at Wrigley. Hopefully will handle the road fan treatment as well.

Alex Bregman has been disappointing on the field but his conversation with PCA after the game hopefully means something down the road. We won't be able to put the two things together but his body language on Friday will be something I'm looking at.

@ArmandoCacash @MLB_Zone1 I know right

@GetridofIanHapp @MLB_Zone1 The Roger Center?

MLB stadium tier list. What would you change?

@dwtreadwell73 @PrazMaster Yes and they have to feel pressure to do well once they get those rare starts. I'm hoping PCA and Happ get tomorrow off and start Shaw and Conforto just one game at least to try something new

@GetridofIanHapp @PrazMaster Shaw only has 18 plate appearances this month. Hard to get into any kind rhythm averaging an at bat a day, especially for a younger guy.

I’m not calling for Craig to fired. I don’t need him to scream at underperforming players. I don’t care how much money he makes. I don’t compare him to Pat Murphy because he’s undoubtedly an upgrade from his predecessor. But my God man, fucking do something. Guys need days off.

@bullskilledme The guy was talking about pitching for the Giants before throwing a pitch for the Cubs when they signed him..NOOOO

Make it happen Jed.

@MelvynWindmon But if it hadn't leaked, and cameras didn't catch it, would he really regret it or feel it was justified. If an ump did that to a fan, there would be a huge shit storm saying they make it about them without even having to hear what was said between then.

@MelvynWindmon Whether it is fans at players or fans at umps...or fans at other fans. He let it get to him when the best thing to do was to get a big hit and come back out and dish it back out. I'm sure he was embarrassed for his family as any human would be when it leaked....

Am I the only person who felt the media or fans who hate the Cubs in general made the PCA -White sox fan encounter more bad than it needed to be? Nor should it make PCA lose his focus that it's been doing. It wasn't that deep especially to a heckling fan who's not innocent.

@crawlyscubs @LovableReunion @ARizzo44 @D_Ross3 Didn't know the Morrow disagreement. But I distinctly remember Epstein press conference where he had gotten the impression that there wasn't the same treatment for some of the players.

No. Definitely not the case. Listen to the podcast and listen to what each and every player had to say about Joe. There was conflict between Theo/Jed and Joe because they wanted to dictate moves from the front office and Joe resisted. They were also mad because Theo told Joe he couldn’t use Brandon Morrow two days in a row because of his injury history. Joe needed to use him two days in a row in extra innings and Morrow got injured

100 percent this! If you haven’t been listening to the @LovableReunion podcast, this is biggest takeaway I’ve gotten from @ARizzo44 and @D_Ross3 and the rest of the 2016 team. The difficulty of the grind, teammates and coaches being there for you, the feelings of failure, and the incredible amount of pressure these guys deal with.

@ricofortunato95 @capihood @Granit_pz @CharlieHustle5 @Cubs

@GetridofIanHapp @capihood @Granit_pz @CharlieHustle5 @Cubs I think he did lol

Ian Happ DEMOLISHED this baseball 😮

@ricofortunato95 @capihood @Granit_pz @CharlieHustle5 @Cubs He block you?

@capihood @Granit_pz @GetridofIanHapp @CharlieHustle5 @Cubs He is showing his true colors

@ChiNation18 How big of a lead did they have before and after that stretch? I know yesterday was 10 years since Heyward got hurt on a great catch in SF and Cubs were up 6.5 I believe. Then KB and Rizzo both moved up and never looked back taking the division by over 18 games.

The 2016 Cubs lost 15 of 21 right before the all star break btw #Cubs

@mitch_santini @MelvynWindmon @ColinasDl @FCozzi8 The 2008 team for me was the high expectations that weren't met. Everything was going their way until LA made that trade for Manny.

@GetridofIanHapp @MelvynWindmon @ColinasDl @FCozzi8 I thought that team was winning it all Was so much fun

Cubs won a World Series with an extremely fiery guy like Joe maddon right?? He always yelled at his players to hype them up when struggling!! Oh wait..

@mitch_santini @MelvynWindmon @ColinasDl @FCozzi8 Yes but the 23 team had the same record and choked down the stretch vs AZ especially that finished just ahead of them for that WC

@GetridofIanHapp @MelvynWindmon @ColinasDl @FCozzi8 Well that 24 team was just bad

@mitch_santini @MelvynWindmon @ColinasDl @FCozzi8 So it didn't even out? 😕

@GetridofIanHapp @MelvynWindmon @ColinasDl @FCozzi8 And then they 3 of 8! Man really did so much And still lost the division and won 83 games

@MelvynWindmon @mitch_santini @ColinasDl @FCozzi8 Craig isn't that fiery guy though. Some managers it works for them and getting through to their players. Cubs knew what they were getting with Counsell. Yeah players do need to be accountable for their bad starts. They need a rallying point....whatever it is

@GetridofIanHapp @mitch_santini @ColinasDl @FCozzi8 people think feelings are going to get hurt when some of the players need to be criticized for their performances. These a grown man making millions to hit a damn baseball and they cant do that. Im just tired of this nonchalant everything will be fine attitudes with losing

@GetridofIanHapp Man I’m really under your skin😭

People will say this with absolutely no research The cubs team k% is 21.3 which is 10th best in baseball

@mitch_santini @MelvynWindmon @ColinasDl @FCozzi8 Lost 4 of next 6 after that game but won 5 in a row after that. Quit lying!

@MelvynWindmon @ColinasDl @FCozzi8 The cubs lost 5 out of 7 after that game and went on to blow the division and win 83 games Means Absolutely nothing
