GDT: 4/10 Cubs (7-4) @ Padres (6-8) 5:40 PM

They need a rest day. Let’s hope it recharges them

That’s it, I’ve seen enough of this game

I've been impressed with Buschs approach at the plate so far. He should get even better as he continues to get acclimated to the majors

It’d be nice to have a reliable middle/long relief guy we could trust. It’d really save us from having to use so many arms, I know Assad was supposed to be that guy but even aside from him

Pretty uncomfortable at bat there for Morel

Starting to worry we’re not gonna come back

Everyone earlier in the GDT saying Kyle isn’t cooked…

Do not hit our Christopher

I stuck up for Jed all offseason, but goddamn he needs to spend more in the bullpen or figure out how to put one together because Cuas (deadline), Almonte, and Neris ain't it. 0-3.

I gotta feeling the bats are gonna get hot again in Seattle

Hits hits hits hits hits hits hits hits hits hits hits hits hits should just about do it

We just need everyone to hit next inning

Ya win some, ya lose some

Get Rid Of Hendricks. He's... I hate to say it, but he's washed

Two Ks - didn’t see that coming

This is like the alternate ending to Apollo 13

Were they blaming the defense? 3 gold glovers in the field and they blame the defense instead of the pitching?

I know we were gonna lose anyways but Cuas fucking sucks holy shit

Cuas is trash.

we have them right where we want them

We absolutely kick ass and then we suck. What the fuck

[GIF] 

This just in: Cuas still doesn’t have it.

I’m tired of Cuas already and this isn’t even the third week yet

We always suck on the west coast

Uhm... he's still here, huh? Surely this is a hologram. He's definitely in Iowa right now, right?

Just here to eat innings and Cuas still can't throw strikes

I don't think we will win this contest of baseball.

What are the odds Cuas gets out of the inning giving up under 9 runs?

4 IP 1 ER 4 Ks 0 BBs for Horton tonight in his debut

We just don't have it today, such is baseball

Seiya not having fun today

On the bright side, it doesn't look like the Cubs were gonna score more than two runs anyway. Obviously you never know how the game would have played out if it was close.

So I'll just say, keep surviving this rough stretch of schedule and let's hope for Steele's and Taillon's successful returns.

2 Grand slams and a home run and we got this

And this is when we drop the eight-spot, right?

What's super annoying is the Cubs should already have won the series when they were up 8 runs and the probability of a win was like 99%. Win some, lose some I guess.

After tonight, we will have played 12 games, 9 against contenders. We'll likely be 7-5. Way too early to tell what kind of team we're going to be. Some of you guys need to relax.

That batting stance is borderline insane. Counsell taking notes

Absolutely no reason for Hendricks to be on this roster. He's not even a serviceable 5th starter at this point.

If Palencia could figure it out, he’d be great. Just don’t think he’ll ever put it together consistently

We are down a lot of arms pitching wise…Steele, Taillon, and Merryweather hurt, plus Cuas and Hendricks exiled by Cubs Reddit

We’re about to Sacrifice Cuas to the Baseball Gods

Game over if Cuas is warming up.

please.... no cuas....

Our pitching staff is horrific

They have 8 runs? We’ve practically won already

we're just waiting until they get an 8 run lead boys

If the Brewers do make the playoffs and we still miss the postseason after paying Counsell that has to get Jed fired, right?

Ew

Honestly this pen isn't much better than Hendricks.

The Padres feel more like a collection of players…not a team. No vibes

A walk on 2 actual balls.

Palencia really not missing as bad as Tatis is acting

Choosing between the Cubs and Hawks tonight is like choosing between a root canal or sitting through a five-hour timeshare presentation

I love Kyle Hendricks, but he is not a starter on a competitive team

Lol Kyle with 12.08 ERA through three starts. So sad, but I’m afraid it’s over for him. Really Hope he can turn it around here in the next few

I absolutely LOVE Kyle Hendricks and I wish him all the best in his retirement.

Bro these dudes need to shut up and just announce the game.

Elise is so pissed rn

Shoot your shot kid

Boog made that sign but tried to pass it off as the kid’s.

Boog seething.

Benji shooting his shot respect lol

Someone call Chris Hansen

Cubs hitting the ball to the wrong part of the ballpark. That's three or four today with HR distance if they are pulled like the two the Padres hit last inning.

Just clown fuckery going out there. All kinda bad bullshit

Offense showing why Craig left Kyle out there. Just going through the motions at this point like the Dodgers did on Sunday.

I’m having incrementally less fun now, but maybe something good will happen

Jesus Christ, take a pitch or two. Fuck!

Terrible game for Amaya

Mondays loss hurts. But the dodgers series win was huge. Just can’t stack up series loss one after another. So if they can’t bounce back this game, recharge and go get M’s Friday

At this point I don’t care if he’s at 50 pitches, if it’s 3rd time through, Kyle has got to come out. I’m not going to give up on him yet but the classic Maddox game Kyle is long gone.

Is it even possible to bounce back?

Well once Taillon and Steele come back, some decisions on Hendricks will have to be made. Especially, if Brown, Wicks, and Assad keep pitching like their most recent starts.

y’all overreacting like crazy. Hendricks is a notoriously slow starter, always has been bad in april

Kyle is washed. Time to retire. Hope he has dignity

Hiring Counsell will be the worst move this season.

Love love love the man.. but when can we admit Kyle is washed? I hate it, but man… he hasn’t been good for a while now.

This is why we have to close out these winnable games in series… not saying our offense can’t get it done, but with our bullpen, it’s frustrating

Thing is their BP is not cuas level. No resurrections this time

Damn Hendricks is cooked. Shades of Arrietas 2nd stint

Cubs could’ve got Montgomery for $25M but instead opted for washed up 84 MPH batting practice throwing Hendricks for $16M. Good grief

The Professor has lost his teaching license

Hendricks is one of my favorite cubs of all time and i was really hoping hed have one great final season with us but when Steele and Taillon are back we can't have the guy in the rotation over Brown or Assad

So we are gonna do the comeback win thing they did to us 2 nights go right? RIGHT?!?

Is Kyle gonna wind up with a Smyly role?

We took out Assad in the sixth two days ago after giving up only 2 runs, but we left Kyle in to give up 7 through the same length of time? We just throwing this one?
