5/31 Reds (Ashcraft) @ Cubs (Assad) 1:20 PM CT

[JHBulls]

Of course it would be nice to be down by one run going into the bottom of the 9th.

Enter Hector Neris

For the 9th, I'll go with PCA double, Gomes three pitch K, Tauchman BB, PCA picked off, Seiya single, and Tauchman thrown out at home on a bad send to end it.

Wisdom is in the game for Tauchman

[GoCubsGo1978]

You can't leave the number of runners on base the Cubs are, and go 1 for 9 with runners in scoring position.  Let's go Cubs!

ugly baseball. 

[Rex Buckingham]

Dansby looked like he was trying to pull everything into the LF bleachers when all we needed was a single

[Derwood]

Reds about to tack on a couple more and nail this thing down

Oh, then change that to Wisdom K and PCA thrown out on a poorly executed hit and run to end it.

He upper cuts the horsefeathers out of his swings lately.  Pop up, fly out guru right now.

[UMFan83]

It's almost like the luckiest pitcher in baseball was destined to start giving up a lot more runs at some point.

[We Got The Whole 9]

This offense had some good excuses when they were facing good SP but this has gone on too long. 

 

They horsefeathers suck and that's all there is to it. Play no doubles defense and they will beat themselves. 

[abuck1220]

boy bullpen performance today really is the front office’s ineptitude staring you right in the face huh? 

[Rex Buckingham]

I bet we score exactly 1 run in the bottom half

[UMFan83]

At least they blew it in the 7th today instead of the 8th or later

[Outshined_One]

It drives me nuts that this team was in the wilderness when it came to SP after someone turned off Jake Arrieta's cheat codes, and they finally put together a playoff-caliber rotation this season...only for the offense to tank and the pen to implode.

[Crusader]

This team is such trash

[Outshined_One]

PCA doing PCA stuff.

[Rex Buckingham]

PCA looks a lot more confident at the plate

[Outshined_One]

TOOTBLAN incoming.

[Rex Buckingham]

please bunt

[squally1313]

lol that ball three call

[JHBulls]

You’d have to be pretty confident as a hitter to let that pitch go by knowing how unpredictable the umps are. Well done Michael. 

[squally1313]

Man this one is going to hurt. 
 

lollll madrigal just for the story line 

[Outshined_One]

Come on Madrigal, work a HBP.

[soccer10k]

I see it’s fake rally time again.

[UMFan83]

Of course that's a foul ball
