5/22 Cubs (Hendricks) @ Giants (Bumgarner), 7:05 PM CDT, ESPN

[BigSlick]

lol the Giants have made like 5 highlight reel level plays today. that, paradoxically, makes me less concerned or worried, because its just like, fine whatever, get it all out of your system.

[Vinestal]

Russell looks great at the plate lately...

[Sammy Sofa]

Man, this is a snoozer.

[Schwarber Fan]

Russell needs a day

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Their infielders didn't get to one?

[Andy]

Russell needs a day

He didn't start Friday.

[Ski]

At least our next series is against a team with some of thr worst infield defense.

Just stop. The guy still plays fantastic defense and he's had a whopping 6 bad games to make up his current slump. Since there's nobody they need to make space for who's going to do better you just let him play through it, y'know, like you want a developing player to do.

I'm choosing to believe the Cubs are saving all their runs for Monday-Wednesday.

He's struck out 8 times in 4 games now. I forgot he was off Friday, but still he looks lost at the moment.

[ScrubMD]

This losing horsefeathers is really starting to suck. Start winning again, dummies.

[David]

is this our worst ten game stretch since the bryant walkoff vs COL?

So what? Again, he still brings excellent defense and you want him to be able to play through times like this.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Besides the fact that Clayton Kershaw pinch hit already, does Aaron Boone really think the Dodgers would pitch Kershaw in extras?

[BigSlick]

Amazingly, its still a 1-0 game, and the Cubs have a very good chance to win this game

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Send Russell back to Iowa.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Send Russell back to Iowa.

 

I'd take him out back and shoot him.

[UMFan83]

Ugh that's annoying

[Sammy Sofa]

Send Russell back to Iowa.

 

I'd take him out back and shoot him.

 

Time for a Code Red.

[BigSlick]

I think Joe's just gonna get himself thrown out to send a message at this point
