Chicago Cubs fans are upset with Brown
Many Cubs fans on social media believe the team should not give him another chance this season.
“Ugh!!! I mean, if the Cubs aren’t gonna trade him- put send him down to get better?” wrote a fan.
“You don’t have another chance. You should have done well when you had the chance,” posted another.
“Brown belongs in Iowa for good,” believes a poster.
“It’s an opportunity to gas up and drive back to Iowa. I wanted to bring somebody up to start these bullpen games but not this batting practice pitcher. See ya kid!” wrote a fan.
“Ben was good but Kelly can’t be the catcher. Reese is a better defensive catcher. McGuire knows how to call a game. We need pitching but Ben needs a real catcher,” argued a fan in Brown’s defense.
“Seems like a good dude. I just wish he was a good pitcher lol,” posted another.
