[DYMNO]

That was a horrid AB by Seiya. Gross.

hey now I know what I would look like taking a major league at bat 

[JHBulls]

Nice.

I would have swung at all the curveballs

This offense is so frustrating. Gifted a run and still only able to get two across. 

[chibears55]

Signs of a struggling offense,  just can't get that big hit with guys in scoring position.

Need walks, HBP, WP , PB to get runs home

The cubs have 2 hits, 3 walks, and a HBP in 2 innings

Indeed. And their failure to capitalize on an opportunity for more is magnified by their struggles. That's all I'm saying. 

[CubinNY]

Cubs in a hurry to ground out

[UMFan83]

3 weak IF grounders ugh.

[We Got The Whole 9]

7 pitches, all 3 outs made on pitchers pitches 

[DYMNO]

Ooof.

Right, and they needed a PB to get one of the 2 runs home..

[JHBulls]

Thank you, Carter Hawkins, by telling us about the good pitching we all know the Cubs have. How about telling us about the hitting this ball club needs. 

[Dfan25]

If Suzuki was the best defensive RF in Japan , there weren’t too many good ones n that league . This team is really bad defensively , this is not a defensive slump .

[UMFan83]

Assad is a magician tonight

[UMFan83]

Morton is petrified of Amaya for some reason

[CubinNY]

That’s better. Need a big hit here.

[CubinNY]

Damn I thought that one was out

[UMFan83]

Of course, spectacular (possibly unnecessary) leaping catch

The first hard hit ball in weeks, probably, and Harris turns into Willie Mays.

Ugh.

[chibears55]

Cubs just can't get anything up into that wind, everything on the ground.

4 walks and a hit batter, can't take advantage of it.

[UMFan83]

Damn, multiple walks this inning after starting off 0-2. Not Assad’s finest performance though certainly a tough matchup. 

[UMFan83]

Cubs get out of it again. Let’s get some runs
