How long until Cuas gets up and going on the pen ?

[abuck1220]

i guess he's looked good today, but i would have an extremely short leash with taillon right now.

Bullpen should be up right now . Taillon implosion tend to happen pretty quickly .

Living on the edge with the baserunners today

2nd time this dude has been able to make it 5 innings in a game.  

[squally1313]

No one should ever really complain about 3 runs in 5 innings. But man, would be nice to just occasionally treat a very bad starter like the very bad starter he is.

6 shutout from Taillon, he did his job. Now to get 9 more outs...

and, given recent events, like 6 more runs.

Can't ask for more from him.  Let's spin the bullpen wheel and see what happens

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Taillon has a 3.57 ERA in his last 14 starts.  80.2 IP too so nearly 6 IP per.

[squally1313]

Jameson Taillon has been significantly better in the second half and probably should not be considered the 5th/skippable starter in the sad current version of this rotation. But that's a conversation for next week I guess. 

[UMFan83]

Taillon at 101 pitches, our bullpen is trash, hes on long rest, make him pitch the 7th until he gets in trouble.

[squally1313]

Hm, interesting

[Rex Buckingham]

Jared Young homers, just like we all expected when we saw his name in the lineup

[Andy]

That swing will play, Jared

It took 15 years but finally others are adopting my use of arbitrary end points to make their arguments!

Also a 5.54 ERA in his last 7 starts before today 😉

Sorry the guy on the team we cheer for hit a home run for our team. 

[UMFan83]

Our only reliable reliever is reliable again (sort of)

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Smyly in appearances of less than 2 IP this year: 10.2 IP, 2 R, 17/6 K/BB, 1 HR

[UMFan83]

The one extremely important thing about the Cubs winning today (besides the Cubs winning) is that it means the Brewers can NOT clinch the Central tonight.  At best they'll be 8 up with 8 to play.  This means the Brewers will play their starters tonight and tomorrow.  Sunday might be rough for them though.

Important of course because the Brewers are playing the Marlins and this is the last series against a team over .500 for either the Marlins or Reds.
