It's the cycle for Pete Crow-Armstrong. He tips his helmet to the crowd of 38,337 at Wrigley Field who start a "PCA! PCA! PCA!" chant. Less than 10 seconds later, he is picked off first base...

Every time the Rockies play at Wrigley Field, I instantly think of Kris Bryant’s walk-off home run against them in 2015 turned around that season 📈

Through 39 games, the Cubs were the best team in baseball. Over the last 30 games, they're among MLB's worst. What happened? How did we get here? The latest @wcb_pod w/@stayhumble @amartinez_11: youtube.com/watch?v=Ru8EAlC8…

The Cubs have had the lead entering the 9th inning just once over their last 10 games. They’ve led entering the 9th inning just 3 times in their last 23 games. Their odds to make the playoffs have dropped to 36.3%, per Baseball Reference.

Biggest change I see has been his batted ball profile. First 33 games - 25.6% LD% | 33.1% GB% Last 33 games - 21.6% LD% | 48.0% GB% For a guy like Nico who doesn’t hit the ball particularly hard, keeping it off the ground is vital.
Nico Hoerner has played in 66 games this season. His first 33 games: .301/.375/.466 (.841 OPS) 4 HR, 26 RBI .289 BA w/ RISP His last 33 games: .192/.284./.223 (.507 OPS) 0 HR, 7 RBI .176 BA w/ RISP The Cubs were 21-12 during the first stretch, and 12-21 during the last stretch

Nico Hoerner’s slump does seem to coincide with this. 31 games before HBP: .291/.370/.449 (.819 OPS) 4 HR, 26 RBI 12 XBH 35 games after HBP: .206/.292/.250 (.542 OPS) 0 HR, 7 RBI 6 XBH Draw your own conclusions
Still wondering if the HBP to the helmet has even a little correlation. That was his 31st game 😟

I expected some regression from Nico after his hot start, but this is wild to see.

The Cubs have not led at all during their previous five games. Their last lead was June 3, 8th inning against the A's. Their two wins we're comeback, walk-off wins. The combined record of the teams they faced is 84-118 (.416).

Oh man, this is terrible news.
We are devastated by the passing of 3x NBA Champion and beloved broadcaster Stacey King.

The Cubs have allowed 95 home runs this season, the most in MLB. Their -23 HR differential is tied with the Rockies for the worst in baseball
