This is all so dumb. Can we just skip to the part where PCA, Shaw, and Caissie take the jobs currently held by madrigal, mastro, and cooper

[WhyCantWeWin]

This is why you can't carry a bench full of mediocre players. 

[Crusader]

Nikki no power. That was painful.

[chibears55]

Unless Keegan can K a couple guys, theyre likely to score

I wish the Cubs were great at extra innings for obvious reasons but also because I don't ever want to be accused of hating the stupid rules for any reason other than that the rules are stupid

Silver lining: good for Neris.

Do you really want any of those guys coming up and getting 1 at bat a week?

[UMFan83]

Feels like this entire month was designed to remind us of last September constantly. Losing the games we have a lead in late, now we’re in another stressful extra innings game in Arizona

Would of preferred Canario there, better chance he at least hits a fly ball

For the next two weeks tauchman and cooper are basically de facto starters. Morel gets benched after the 6th inning. Plenty of room.

And about a 40% chance he K's.  Also Madrigal wasn't a pinch hitter, unless you want to burn the DH(who was in the hole) and move Busch/Nico to 3B, Madrigal has to hit.

[Andy]

Well that was remarkably easy

[Rex Buckingham]

just need Busch to dunk one in the pool

2. Keeping alive the slim chance of a Keegan comeback

[Irrelevant Dude]

The way both offenses have looked tonight, maybe the teams should petition to start the runner at third instead.

[Crusader]

Keegan looks horsefeathers strong. Flashing 95. Already an improvement over Cuas.

Reemergence of Keegan?

Wasn't he throwing like 91-92 in Iowa?

Yeah I’m not an especially strong defender of Madrigal or anything but I’d definitely prefer him hitting there over Canario. Plus for the lineup issues you mentioned. 

[Rex Buckingham]

anyone else having stream issues with Marquee? mine kicks me out about every minute

Better then DP, but was just saying I prefer Canario over Madrigal in that type of situation. 

Eventually CC just gonna have to start leaving Morel in the game the last 2 innings, to me it seems like there more of a chance his spot comes up in the order where they could use his bat over any chance Madrigal makes a play at 3B that Morel doesn't. 

[chibears55]

Need a Cooper Long ball here

[UMFan83]

Dammit Madrigal

[We Got The Whole 9]

You just know they're gonna horsefeathers this up. The ol 1-2-3 double.play coming up.

[JHBulls]

Grand slam here.
