Can the Cubs remember how to hit in their final 2 innings?!

Probably not. But I'd love extras for more chaosball.

He fired his hitting coach because the guy wanted hitters to hit dingers and hired a guy who wants the ball on the ground and hit the opposite way.

Honestly, the offensive collapse for this team and the massive regression of almost every young player is what they deserve for their stupidity.

If that stolen base attempt was Counsell he should be fired lmao. If it was on Braun then he should be cut. Zero reason for it.

Obviously joking here but holy poo poo what a bad call.

I don't know. Hit and run to stay out of the double play isn't a bad decision when the pitcher is not known for missing bats.

The Cubs should honestly be by far and away the best NL team. It's ridiculous that they are regressing to the rest of the pack.

Cubs Radio Booth implied that it was apparently supposed to be a double steal but Cain just didn't...steal, turning it into an easy out for the Cubs.

I'm going to go full nerd here and tell you that the run expectancy would have went up a whole 0.2 runs if Braun stole that base. It dropped almost a full run because he got caught. Braun is not a good base stealer... sooo probably don't run there.

If it was indeed a double steal that's fully on Counsell and he's been known for goofy poo poo like that ever since he got there and it works a lot of the time so whatever I guess.
