What’s Travis Wood up to?

I don't know but his wife appears to be watching this game, tweeting this right after the latest newman error.

[UMFan83]

Great now we have to sign Kimbrel and Keuchel

[We Got The Whole 9]

They're speculating he hurt himself running the bases. Said he went to the training room after he crossed the plate but went back out to see if he could pitch through it.

wouldnt be a cubs season without a key player getting injured while sliding.

[BigSlick]

Well now we're gonna need approximately 10 more runs to win this game

[UMFan83]

Not only is our bullpen so far the worst in baseball, but I'm guessing its thrown the most innings as well. More of that today

There isn't going to be a game the next two days (day off and beautiful Chicago weather), so let's just win this one.

Left hamstring tightness. So could be a ton worse.

There was discussion of moving Wednesday's game to Tuesday given the weather forecasts....I wonder if the Cubs back away from that now that we need 7 innings of relief from our pen.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Brach is the only reliever that I’d kinda-sorta trust with a single run lead in the later innings. So why’s he in now?

[Ding Dong Johnson]

If there is one thing this team is equipped to handle it is losing a starting pitcher like Lester for a length of time.

Thanks Aramis Fan :)

[BigSlick]

Oh you're gonna get your middle reliever on? We're gonna get OUR middle reliever on you asses

[Brian]

the pitcher that came in to relieve the pitcher that hurt himself on the base paths is now on the base paths.
