carrying three catchers and starting the objectively worst one twice in three games in a huge series is an odd way to go about your business. 

working out great so far. horsefeathers like this is why the cubs suck in one run games.

Barnhart has left 4 on base in his 2 ABs but at least his catching has helped Stroman only allow 2 runs in 4 innings I guess?

Equal Creation, Equal Destruction.

1 out triple is stranded because our 8-9-1 hitters suck

Poor Madrigal gets hit by a pitch and included in the blame! 

[Derwood]

This is quite the strike zone

[Nolansomebody]

HECK YEAH HAPP!

[champaignchris]

Oviedo with a Rich Harden-esque 100 pitches in 4.1 innings. 

[Derwood]

Bellinger misses a month and comes back with that same damn golf swing

Swing looked OK there. 

[UMFan83]

Morel starting to get it going again. Great to see

[Derwood]

Damn, I love you Morel

[Nolansomebody]

Welcome back, Cody Bellinger!

[Tim]

Love Morel going 1st to 3rd on a sac bunt. 

 

He should play every day.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Imagine throwing 5 straight balls to Tucker Barnhart.

[Andy]

This Pittsburgh team stinks, STL finally being bad for once means this division is wide the hell open, go take it

[Derwood]

Someone reminded the Pirates that they are the Pirates

[Tim]

Why was Morel's AB not scored as a sac fly?

[Tim]

n/m - scoring got updated

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Being within 3.5 after tonight if this holds is kinda hilarious.

Nobody is capable of running away with this division.  The Cubs have about as good a chance as anyone

When did Zastryzny start looking like he walked onto the field after a shift tending bar in rural Indiana

It should really be Mastrobuoni.  He's not needed in the OF, Madrigal will be just as useful at 3B against RHP you want to shield Wisdom/Morel from, and even if Bellinger needs to play some 1B/DH for a bit there's no reason Mervis can't be the other one since Mancini/Morel/Wisdom all have their issues and would have platoon disadvantage.  

I think he (Mastro) goes back down when Steele comes back?
