Holy crap, this inning is still going.

[Derwood]

Rizzo is going to die some day from a throw from third

[Sammy Sofa]

Lester is going to get a hit before Baxter does.

[Gilby]

Looks like the wind could be blowing in the next few days. I don't love our chances vs the Royals in a battle of contact and defense.

Yeah, but about what we thought they would be right now, the doom and gloom of some aside. Three games over, Bryant and Russell looking as we hoped they would, Rizzo being Rizzo, winning streaks, losing streaks...sounds about right.

Castro and Strop are the only real letdowns to this point. We are what we thought we'd be.

2 BB & 15 K is not ideal

It's a tumultuous season best summed up thusly:

And with that, the Cubs season came crumbling down.

The offense is seemingly shaping up to be too feast or famine.

 

4 runs vs. a solid starting pitcher and a very tough bullpen sounds like a balanced meal to me.

Clearly not talking about only this game.
