Not the best start

Two puss arms couldn't turn the DP and it ends up costing them 2 runs.🙄

Bad feed from Madrigal. Mastrobuoni doesn’t have a puss arm. It was just a bad feed to him.

Zach with a classic call “Deep drive to RF by Belly forget about it. Oh no caught at the wall.”

Did Steele catch Hendrickitis his last 2 starts? The HR ball is killer right now.

Awesome. Now we don’t need to go through the next 3 hours of commentary on Ian’s Pirates on base streak.

Is this the beginning of the end for Steele?

Yeah probably. At least we have the guy to cut when Horton is ready

Just realized we could cut taillon too because he was bad last time! Perfect, can throw brown back in the rotation. 

[WhyCantWeWin]

Ok what’s going on with Steele and the home runs

[PeanutPunch33]

Steele will be fine, still working his way back from the injury.  This is basically what, his 4th start of the year

I’m not watching but…it’s a warm humid night in Chicago? I mean, the worst left fielder in baseball history hit a home run, things must be weird out there 

[Transmogrified Tiger]

.090 xBA on that HR

Yeah I think his command is a little off.  5 HRs allowed in his last 6 IP is glaring but seems like more of a temporary speed bump than something to be legitimately concerned about.

[UMFan83]

Glad he beat that out at the plate. I thought he was gonna score easily 

[JHBulls]

Jones has had a lot of luck today.

[UMFan83]

Oh man Mastro almost went yard. The wind must be blowing hard

[JHBulls]

That was some good base running there. 

[Derwood]

Chip chip chip away

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Boy really no range from Joe there

 

Or said another way, if it hadn't been for Conner Joe, they'd been out of that inning a long time ago

[JHBulls]

I have questions, Justin. You’re better than your last two starts. 

[We Got The Whole 9]

You don't have to give up a XBH to start every inning Justin
