We’re 32\u201329 and ONE GAME OVER .500<\/strong> but we’re DOWN 0-1<\/strong> after that frustrating 2\u20131 loss at home yesterday! Gage Jump, a 23-year-old rookie left-hander, completely shut us down<\/strong> (7 effective innings in his first major league win!). Nick Kurtz homered<\/strong> to provide the go-ahead run! We’re entering the softest portion of our schedule<\/strong>\u20147 consecutive series against teams with losing records! If we want to get back in contention, we MUST take advantage!<\/p>\n

      The Athletics are 29\u201331 but they’re UP 1-0<\/strong> after that IMPRESSIVE victory at Wrigley yesterday! Gage Jump’s 7-inning performance was ELITE<\/strong> for a rookie debut!

          • Athletics are 29-31 (two games under .500!)<\/strong><\/li>\n
          • Lost 7 of their last 9<\/strong> overall<\/li>\n
          • But they BEAT US at home yesterday!<\/strong><\/li>\n
          • We’re DOWN 0-1<\/strong> and can’t afford another loss!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            The Athletics are STRUGGLING overall but they caught us sleeping yesterday!<\/p>\n

            Key Matchups at Wrigley Field<\/h3>\n

            Cubs Offense vs Gage Jump (if he pitches again) or next Athletics starter<\/strong>
            \nWe only scored 1 run yesterday! We need to PRODUCE at home!<\/p>\n

            Jameson Taillon (if pitching) vs Athletics<\/strong>
            \nTaillon was shaky yesterday! We need better pitching from our starter!<\/p>\n

            Michael Busch (11 hits in last 10 games!) vs Athletics<\/strong>
            \nBusch has been HOT! Get him involved and score RUNS!<\/p>\n

            Bounce Back from Home Loss<\/strong>
            \nLost 2-1 at Wrigley! This is UNACCEPTABLE! WIN today!<\/p>\n

            What the Cubs Need at Wrigley Field<\/h3>\n

            SCORE EARLY AND OFTEN!<\/strong>
            \nWe only scored 1 run yesterday! Wrigley is OUR HOUSE! Attack and build a lead!<\/p>\n

            Pitching Steps Up!<\/strong>
            \nTaillon struggled yesterday! We need a QUALITY start from our next pitcher!<\/p>\n

            Michael Busch and Pete Crow-Armstrong Produce!<\/strong>
            \nBusch has 11 hits in 10 games! Get production from our hitters!<\/p>\n

            EVEN THE SERIES 1-1!<\/strong>
            \nDown 0-1 at home. This is a MUST WIN to stay in the soft schedule stretch!<\/p>\n

            Cubs Fan Prediction: We Bounce Back!<\/h3>\n

            Final Score: Cubs 4, Athletics 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

            Our pitching is BETTER today\u20146 solid innings, 2 runs. We bounce back after yesterday!<\/p>\n

            Our offense FINALLY produces! Michael Busch drives in runs! We score 4 at Wrigley!<\/p>\n

            The Athletics score 2 but we BOUNCE BACK and even the series 1-1!<\/p>\n

            Two-run win. We’re 33\u201329. TWO GAMES OVER .500!<\/strong> Series tied!<\/p>\n

            Why Game 2 Matters<\/h3>\n

            We’re 32\u201329 (ONE game over .500!) after losing 2\u20131 to the Athletics at HOME yesterday! Gage Jump was IMPRESSIVE (7 IP in his first win!)<\/strong> and Nick Kurtz homered to go ahead!<\/strong> We’re DOWN 0-1 in a series we should DOMINATE!<\/strong> We’re entering the softest portion of our schedule<\/strong> (7 series vs losing teams!)<\/p>\n

            Win today and we’re 33\u201329. TWO GAMES OVER .500!<\/strong> Even the series 1-1 and capitalize on the soft schedule!<\/p>\n

            Can we bounce back at Wrigley? Will our offense score? Can we beat a 29-31 team we’re supposed to dominate?<\/p>\n

            We lost 10 of 12 in May. We CANNOT afford to lose to 29-31 teams during this soft stretch!<\/p>\n

            Go Cubs Go. Bounce back at Wrigley and even the series NOW!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
