"It has undoubtedly dragged on far longer than we expected or hoped," Hoyer said of a two-month slump that has seen the Cubs drop to 38-45 -- the latest loss Friday night to the Brewers, 4-2. "We need to play a lot better. We dug ourselves a hole, and we have to dig out of that hole. "It's important we do that in this next 33 days or whatever we have until the deadline. You have to make hard decisions sometimes." The Cubs are last in the NL Central, 11.5 games behind the first-place Brewers. They've lost eight games to Milwaukee in the standings over the last 32 days. "I am very surprised," Hoyer said. "Two weeks turned into four, turned into six, turned into eight ... It just hasn't ended." Hoyer pointed to the team's offensive woes as a catalyst for its plummet, but the bullpen has struggled just as much. Chicago ranks 23rd in bullpen ERA, as it's struggled to close out games and also has dealt with injuries. The latest to go down was middle-man Keegan Thompson, who was placed on the injured list with a rib fracture Friday. The team also designated newly acquired reliever Vinny Nittoli for assignment. In the corresponding roster moves, the Cubs selected the contract of former Mets reliever Jorge Lopez and called up righty Ethan Roberts, who hasn't pitched in the big leagues since 2022 after undergoing Tommy John surgery. For Lopez, it's a second chance. After he was pulled from the game against the Los Angeles Dodgers on May 29, Lopez threw his glove into the stands and then had a misunderstanding with reporters afterward in an attempt to blame himself for some of the team's issues. The Mets subsequently DFA'd him earlier this month. "I'm never going to do it again in my life," Lopez said Friday before throwing one scoreless inning against the Brewers. "It's emotions. I've been working on my mental health for a long time. That's my priority to not show that anymore, give the best energy and body language that I can to the game." Lopez said he wants to set an example for his 11-year-old son. "He doesn't know much about it," Lopez said. "I have to teach him the things not to do. Need to respect the game. I'm not proud of that (what happened)." In joining the Cubs, Lopez is reunited with bullpen coach Darren Holmes, who held the same position with the Baltimore Orioles from 2019 to '23, when Lopez pitched for the team. Lopez and Roberts could be thrust into major roles as Chicago only has three relievers on its active roster from opening day. That turnover has contributed to its overall woes. "Most of what we've been doing is out of necessity," Hoyer said. "We keep getting hit there." In terms of the Cubs offense, Hoyer admitted he can't tinker with it much considering his core players are all under longer-term contracts. In other words, the trade deadline won't fix the team's run-scoring problems; it will have to come from within. "There's not a ton of wiggle room on as far as how we can shake things up and improve things, positionally," Hoyer said. "When you look at where we've performed this year with a team that's stronger (on paper), it's lesser. Is that frustrating to me? Absolutely. If it's frustrating to me, I have to imagine it's frustrating to the fans." But the Cubs also haven't controlled the controllables. For example, Chicago entered Friday leading the league in one-run games and in outs made on the bases, including 15 at home plate. That's a lot of potential scoring left out on the field, which could have turned losses into wins. It's also the third consecutive season the team has led the league in outs made at home plate, calling into question the judgment of third-base coach Willie Harris. "We've done a ton of research," Hoyer said. "Plays at the plate are really hard. It behooves you to be aggressive in those situations. You can take that a little too far. He is aggressive, and off the scorecard we work off of, he does a good job." The Cubs entered Friday ranked second in the league in going from first to third base on a single, so some of that aggressiveness has paid off. Yet overall the team hasn't played as well as last season, when it won 83 games while just missing out on the postseason. "Our win-total projections were higher this year than last year," Hoyer said. All of it adds up to a critical month for the team even though it doesn't have a lot of pending free agents. Still, Hoyer will ultimately pivot to trading away players instead of adding if the standings dictate it. "I don't think it's time for that full conversation, but it's just a reality that we have to play better in July," he said. "We backed ourselves into a corner." 08cee99dbff1e5299677aefed305bdfe 2 AFAB7D49 5402 4DAD A063 520D81B9FA55 Scaled 717f37424b5df3fe370cf48a00c09503 26aafbafa2b7807ac361b3604492a716 Maxresdefault $ 86.JPG 81d95e77ddbe6788be07567bdfb14293 667ecb8e39ed06c42f213cffa8373841 Teddy Bear Pomeranian 36e005083c77ef6462a326cb0a790f5f 74650a4f7e74c97f2c9ce9bf028ce837 Maxresdefault 120606333 Xl Pomeranian Teddy Bear Cut 1 608x707 9e5d23b076da2b431d6006aeafe9cfe4 Pomeranian Puppy Picture C0e63909 C03a 4bee 8c89 1a1c2e8ade0e E4c4a282de02a46e748e74fa26bac27f Teacup Pomeranian Puppy Mallow 1 75525322669769a3dffdf87a96180df6 506760619b4a53cc5de029fe26546ff9 Pomeranian Puppy Picture 1e1053f7 6d0c 45cc 953c Abaa80bc551b 98d73060e90c67ae0426825724f69f95 49589 217462 X Teddy Bear Pomeranian Dog 2 47e74292e995158e1feafcf452d307d7 2cd315f0894523aabbd3c3e286dcbb27 B72618355e113a7155d465f1669fa1d7 0a423b28ba81e87b0cc11236f4459a45 B1983b543154542e429a08c9d38c0b26 Pomeranian Haircut White Pomeranian Cute Little Teacup Puppy 19CFDCBA 54F3 439A 951E 1AB19C6B75C9 3ae681cfe80994eb78409feb60acb197 32c72a70345bd440b859fa70cd15ec04 Teacup Pomeranian Puppy Teddy Bear Pomeranian C338fbfe193600bea6473008c6fd2275
