Kyle Davies, who is the very definition of a mediocre pitcher, has 6 K’s in a game for the first time in 17 starts.

Looks like Martinez is pitching well, we waste a good pitching effort which we don’t get very often with an error and silent bats.

I wanted to blame everything on the pitching, but then you have games like this. I have no explanation except that this team simply does not want to win.

I’d argue they want to win but are not quite good enough to achieve that outcome. I’m a radical thinker.

Yeah, there seems to be a lot of games where they make mediocre pitchers look like Cy Young.Jedibaracuda wrote: ↑June 13 21, 6:49 pmI wanted to blame everything on the pitching, but then you have games like this. I have no explanation except that this team simply does not want to win.

The team not wanting to win is hyperbole. The only way a player gets to the major league level is to have an uncanny competitive drive. Even the worst teams in the majors are filled with players who dominated every level of baseball until they hit the professional level. Their lives revolve around winning in a way someone like me will never comprehend.
This team is obviously struggling and are getting outplayed, but saying they don't want to win seems ridiculous. They just aren't as good as they need to be right now.

Good to see Cubs fans having fun while a baseball game happens nearby.

I’m not sitting in the bleachers next time I’m at Wrigley.
