@ZachChCubs @cody__cubs How many years of control does Soriano have?

Ian Happ’s career at PNC Park:
264 PA
10.2% BB%
7 HR
25 doubles
.304/.368/.513
.209 ISO
.384 wOBA
145 wRC+
Not a bad place to reset in. Let’s start with competitive plate appearances again and go from there.

@jwyllys @CHGO_Cubs 2 weeks ago people were saying this team was better/more fun to watch than 2016. Today, people are asking for them to sell at the deadline. It’s a long season and one of those may eventually be right but there’s a lot of time left

The funk continues: Cubs lose their 8th straight game and have been swept in back-to-back series at Wrigley.
"We’ve been out-executed the last eight days in a row."

After a one-day reversal, Chris Taylor has now officially announced his retirement:

@SleeperCubs A slightly better than .500 team that is super streaky and needs to find consistency. Take away the 20-3 streak and the 2-12 streak and you have a 7-9 team. Pitching needs to get healthy or need to start trying to make moves.

Describe the state of the Cubs right now
This is a safe space
English
@Brett_A_Taylor I want to believe it’s a bad stretch but if you take out their best stretch and worst stretch the remainder is 7-9
English
Kevin Alcántara is pinch hitting for Michael Conforto in the 7th inning. That’s fun
English
@chifanpatt2 Combo of pitching putting them behind early and the offense pressing while the offense has also left a ton of runs on the bases forcing pitchers to then press down 2 or 3 early in the game
English
@chifanpatt2 They need him out of the rotation regardless. He’s awful. I also don’t get how the Astros have the record they have. SP have looked great, hitting is solid. Makes little sense watching them so far
English
@ZachChCubs Idk if that's fixing anything at this point. Wicks is still working on some things
English
@CubsSkipper Isn’t he out of options? This would mean he’s up for good if that’s right or traded
English
Ballesteros is one of the best hitters on this team and also has nothing left to prove in AAA. But he’ll probably be sent down while Alcantara comes up to ride the pine.
English
@cody__cubs @Davey_Baseball They can get rid of Lopez since Ramirez is up now and Lopez speed can be replaced by Alcantara
English
@Davey_Baseball If so I doubt Alcantara gets much time other than a few PH plate appearances. Maybe a few starts on a getaway day. Maybe. Not sure what I want to see either way
English
Great. Another injury.
Or maybe they demote Mo Baller so he can work on something with consistent at-bats since the slump has been long.
Idk. It’s hard to see this and think this will change much right now.

Don’t be surprised if a certain outfield prospect gets a call back up to the big leagues before tomorrow’s game. 🐆

@MLBBruceLevine 1. Nico
2. Bregman
3. Busch

5. Crow-Armstrong
6. Kelly
7. Happ
8. Ballesteros/Ramirez
9. Swanson.

@Michael_Cerami @BleacherNation If Taillon gives up a few more runs we can’t get mad at him. He should be pitching with a lead. Runner on 3rd all three innings. It’s pathetic
English
Bases loaded, no outs.
Strikeout.
Infield popout.
Check-swing groundout.
It's beyond parody.
