I’m shocked Ross let him go through the heart of the Cardinals order a 3rd time. I’m even more shocked that he came to bat in a tie game in the 7th inning. I love the trust and he’s earned it but I also have seen our bullpen be lights out lately. Even with 2 outs and no one on I would have considered PH him.

Some terrible ABs by Cubs hitters in the last couple of innings.
Honestly disappointing all game for me. One of those games where it felt like they guessed wrong over and over. Chased a lot. Nothing hit hard.

 

But our pitching was great so it wasn't all negative, thats for sure. Get em tomorrow, pls.

Thank goodness I missed the Molina HR while putting my kids to bed because whenever that horsefeathering poser does anything my heart dies a bit.

It's obviously a good thing when every one of your losses seems to be by one run, but the problem with it is every single one of your losses is by one horsefeathering run

Yeah that was odd. Especially with Molina due up, who just missed a HR in his previous AB and Adbert missing location and hanging sliders over the previous 2 innings. Should have gone to the well rested bullpen

Just going to point out that it’s not a problem the SP gave up a whole second run in the 7th inning

 

This loss is on the offense. I saw on Gameday that Rizzo was swinging at stuff in the dirt in that inning (5th?) Bryant and Contreras got on in front of him with only one out. Not the time to swing at trash! Weak game from the offense

That was the 8th. It was annoying for sure. Willy walked on 4 pitches and Rizzo went up there and swung at 3/4 pitches, 2 in the dirt. Now I'm not saying he should have known to lay off those pitches, because they were well executed high-spin curves. But I do wish he would have given himself the take sign at 1-1 and tried to work the count into his favor. All game we just looked unprepared for the deluge of offspeed we were showered with. Not many good swings all night and a lot of chasing.

 

Joc chased one of the highest pitches I've ever seen be offered at. On GD it registered as being up and in, if another entire strike zone were placed atop the real one.

 

Really didn't like our approach tonight.
