22.1 innings. Only reason I know that is because I saw the stat was 18.1 innings before the game started.

Morel is a stud.  Kid makes adjustments 

[WhyCantWeWin]

Busch is rocketing up the strikeout leaderboards for batters

[Derwood]

Guess Yu isn't tipping his pitches tonight

[Crusader]

Constantly striking out with runners in scoring position makes it hard to score.

[DYMNO]

SO many strikeouts. It’s painful to watch. 

[JHBulls]

Justin Steele was good today. Every bit the ace we know he is. 

[PeanutPunch33]

Steele is a top 5 pitcher in baseball when healthy

[UMFan83]

Busch has a .521 OPS and 42% strikeout rate since his HR binge ended 17 games ago.

[JHBulls]

Ugh, step away for a minute and the bullpen sucks. What a shocker. 

[PeanutPunch33]

Pitching Lovelady against the meat of their order, what could possibly go wrong 

[UMFan83]

So the Padres have 2 on and 0 outs after hitting a 78 mph exit velo bloop single and a perfectly placed ground ball.

 

And now a single on another perfectly placed ground ball and its 2-0 Padres.  Wonderful.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

a good sport that is definitely worth our time and investment 

[WhyCantWeWin]

Counsell had an odd amount of confidence in Dick Lovelady

He jammed a hitter then got 2 weak ground balls.  I don't really blame Lovelady there...

An inning after PCA hits a 101 mph lineout with a .860 xBA

Can't win if you don't score..

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Based on those xBAs, there was a 0.2% of all of those being hits.

[Derwood]

B-B-B-BABIP'DDDD

[Irrelevant Dude]

We can be mad about all the cheap hits, but none of it matters if the Cubs can't score.

[abuck1220]

lovelady was perfectly fine. the problem is the extremely terrible offense.

[squally1313]

Well this got dumb in a hurry

[s2obed]

Sucks to see Steele only go 68 pitches. He threw 63 in his rehab. Thought he’d have gotten to at least 80.

but yea, won’t matter if the offense doesn’t score.

Maybe get some outs bullpen?
