Mastrobuoni will have a career game, get a Bote contract and take tons of PAs away from higher ceiling guys.  That's the most Cubs thing I could imagine. 

It begins

[Andy]

Just get rid of everyone and try again. I'm sick of this crap.

[Tryptamine]

I'm getting real close to saying just burn it down entirely.  Deal Steele, Stroman, Bellinger, etc. Clean the FO and start things fresh.

[Tryptamine]

By all means, please keep giving Mancini as many at bats as possible. 

[Wilson A2000]

At this point it’s Ross’s fault, not Mancini’s because Trey knows he sucks and he can’t do anything about it.

[UMFan83]

This team is just stupid. Seriously going to go 1-5 against the horsefeathers Nationals? 

[UMFan83]

Good news is the Brewers lost so the Cubs will remain 8.5 GB in the central!

[Tryptamine]

I went to feed my dog in a commercial with the Cubs about to come up and I come back and it's in commercial again. Did I miss like a 90 second half inning?

Just wait until the Cubs get to the soft part of their schedule!

If they manage to lose today and tomorrow,  the Cubs are responsible for 15% of the Nats wins this year.

[Derwood]

We signed Taillon with 11.8 career bWAR

He now has 10.9 career bWAR

[Derwood]

Here's the Nationals I was hoping to see

[Derwood]

This reliever is making our crap hitters all look like Tony Gwynn

[Derwood]

This is more like it

[Tryptamine]

Seiya really needed a big night like this. Hopefully he feeds off of it.

[jersey cubs fan]

I assume they were anxious to get Adbert some work post asb?

Way to speak it into existence 

[Derwood]

Miles with 3 hits? Oh, it's that type of game

[Derwood]

BABIP gods are smiling

[Derwood]

9 different teams have scored 10+ runs tonight

[UMFan83]

Last 2.1 IP, the Cubs have had:

2 Home Runs

4 BB/HBP

13 Singles

When they go on one of their singles binges, they make hitting a baseball look so easy.

Incredibly, three of them lost

[Irrelevant Dude]

Good old fashioned run differential game to pad the Pythagorean!

I wonder what the record is for most combined runs in one day of baseball

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Can’t spell Mastrobuoni without RBI
