i gotta wonder if PCA stays up for good when Belli returns and Busch moves to utility/DH role really cleaning up 2 problem spots defensively

Yeah I like this

[UMFan83]

Too many outs on the bases

[Cubs420psd]

So that's like what? The 3rd or 4th time Nico has been picked off already?

 

Wtf is this base running this year?

[Derwood]

The difference between our starters and our relievers is unbelievable

[UMFan83]

BTW according to Baseball-Reference, that is the Cubs MLB leading 15th out on the bases this year.  We also lead the league in outs at home with 7

I love that the graphic said this guy was 'very pitcher friendly' as he repeatedly hoses Hayden out of strikes.

What a freaking performance by Wesneski today.

Complete opposite of what we thought we would get with Counsell

[squally1313]

Yeah the Brewers being so good offensively so far feels incredibly smoke and mirrors-y, but....still a very dominant performance. 

[chibears55]

Be nice to score a few runs...

Wish I hadn’t sold my Wesneski stock

Ouch.

[Bertz]

Curious if Wesneski gets the 7th, not really Craig's style but the bullpen's a bit shredded.

[CubinNY]

Morel has real power. 

[Crusader]

horsefeathers yeah Christopher.

[UMFan83]

hey a run.  at least it looks like Morel is coming out of it.

[squally1313]

yeah a classic Morel binge would go a long way while everyone else figures it out

[chibears55]

Morel is special

I kinda didn't think he'd get the 6th, but at the same time, if you're fairly confident Steele is going Monday, and there's another off day on the horizon so you don't have to worry about his next outing being on 4 days rest..

[squally1313]

it's kinda weird watching Contreras catch because he has just enough of the mannerisms of Willson to give you some nostalgia/flashbacks, but it coming in an obviously different person and very different uniform throw you off

spelling

[Andy]

Jed should've worn a ski mask when getting Wesneski for Scott Effross, what a hijacking that's looking like

[JBears79]

I really dont like pulling Wesneski here.

[WhyCantWeWin]

I’m guessing Alzolay pitches today but does he get the close?

[Bertz]

Lovelady in through Frelick, Alzolay in for Contreras-Adames, Leiter to the house?  Or do you prioritize clean innings over matchups?

I was thinking maybe Leiter 4 out save if Lovelady gets those first 2.

[UMFan83]

Make that 16 outs on the bases
