The Braves are trying to help us today and it looks like we're not going to take advantage of it

We weren’t going to win the rest of our games. If we continue playing well we’ll catch up

Decent start from Hendricks today if teams decide to make offers for him.

[UMFan83]

I didn’t realize Kyle pitched 7. Seems pretty impressive (or lucky) to end up with a quality start as whenever I was watching the game he was giving up hard contact.

Man, Suzuki has been bad.

[Derwood]

Feels like Cubs are only hitting when there are 2 outs in the inning

[UMFan83]

Ok fine Cardinals it’s a deal, you take the first and last games, we’ll take the middle 6. Pleasure doing business with you.

Is it just me or was there a excessive amount of groundouts in this game?

Yeah I'm hoping they can trade him to some team that will fall for that hard batted ball crap. With so many outfielders coming up they really don't need one as mediocre as Suzuki. I have doubts he'd waive his NTC tho.

All the more reason to go all in on Soto.  Trade Suzuki for a SP.

[Derwood]

Trading Suzuki right now would be the ultimate trade-low. He has been bad and really doesn't help anyone out in the short term.

Trade him during the off season.  Use him as a DH for the rest of the season.

Reds are destroying LA early

[UMFan83]

Good news:

Brewers lost, Phillies lost, DBacks losing

 

Bad news: 

Reds winning, Giants winning, Marlins won

If all holds, I believe the Cubs will lose 1/2 game in both the division and WC (making them 3.5 back of WC and 4 back of division)

[Derwood]

Man, it's batting practice in this Reds game. 

[Derwood]

Reds now in first place by 1/2 a game, Cubs 3 out

ugh, Morel giving a free base early on a ball Happ may have caught

It was a hold your breath moment every time a ball was hit to him out there for me.
