He’ll have 3 of the next 8 days off at least

[Derwood]

Cubs will be lucky to get out of this inning down fewer than 4 runs

[abuck1220]

wesneski to face a bunch of lefties in a tie game is quite the choice 

[UMFan83]

4 batters, no outs

[Irrelevant Dude]

Wesneski struggling with the vaunted bottom of the Mets order.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Who could have predicted 2 blowout losses to the Mets.

Seriously what the hell is that about.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Bunting with 2 strikes there... Ok.

[UMFan83]

Guys like Fulmer and Leiter haven’t pitched since Sunday. There’s an off day tomorrow. I feel like Ross got too cute there and it’s going to cost them the game

I really dislike Wesneski. 

He has been disappointing this season,  was hoping he would secure a rotation spot for them this season. 

[UMFan83]

I hope the offense is just exhausted with 16 games in a row. Not that they were going to score 8 runs a game but 3 kind of meh games in a row

The problem that we hope don't happen is that this offense only clicks when Bellinger and or Swanson are hitting..

Like tonight both are gonna have quiet games and unless they get shutdown pitching,  the rest of offense will need to score a few without them two involved in ways.

Be nice to go to the 9th only down 1, need to get one here

[Derwood]

Dansby is frigid. Insane after how hot he was just 3 days ago

[Derwood]

Seiya, on the other hand...

[s2obed]

Hopefully the mental break for Seiya is all he needs to get on track. Good start tonight.

[UMFan83]

Ottavino throws 4 straight balls making the count 3-1 on Tauchman

[We Got The Whole 9]

Golden opportunity to steal this series. LFG.

Interesting that his first 2 hits came on the first pitch and the homer came on a 2-0 count. Could it be as simple as being more aggressive early in counts for him?

[cl smooth]

Is Amaya hurt? He obviously was HBP but I’m at the game and they pulled him for Madrigal. 

[UMFan83]

Remove Ottavino to bring in a pitcher with a 6.00 era. 

[muntjack]

The lack of excitement in the booth.... I don't love it.

Boog and JD said on broadcast not too long ago that he rarely ever swings at the first pitch.
