Thank you scoring change that happened like a month later

Derek Law, could've sworn he'd been put out to pasture.

Elly is 0 for 8 with 6 K's in the series

He's been pretty meh since the break, slashing .164/.222/.343

 

Also, Derek Law is still in the majors?!

[Derwood]

Tauchmann on base all 4 times

[Tryptamine]

Why couldn't Law be the one to give up 13 runs?

Lively got the stick, Law got the carrot

At what point do we go ahead and pull Bellinger and let Seiya get some ABs?

I want him to get a few days off to get himself together

The Cubs need to add on if they're going to get Anthony Kay some work.

I picked up Lively in fantasy today for absolutely no reason other than as a reverse jinx. Didn't think it would work quite so well.

[Tryptamine]

That's enough from Steele, just let Rucker eat 2 innings.

[UMFan83]

Ugh just get Steele out of there

Gonna take him a few hours to get here from Iowa

Offensive outburst is tempered a bit by back to back terrible outings by our best starters

Rucker was sent down.. I think

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Steele didn’t want the ERA lead I guess.

Willing to wash this one away.  Really favorable hitting conditions + comedy of errors in the 1st + pitching with a big lead + good offensive team.

It doesn't feel like he's been as sharp as he was earlier in the year though.

Candelario had 6 hits combined as a Cub in 2016 & 17.

4 hits so far tonight.
