Both were problems and Jed’s seat should be getting hot

I just don’t see managers in this game making a huge difference. Not saying there’s no drop off between the best and worst managers, but it’s not like offensive or defensive schemes are being developed here. You essentially play what you’re given and that’s more on the front office than any one manager.

First 2 Cubs reach but we’ve reached the….offensively challenged portion of the lineup

No way PCA should have been swinging in that AB until there were 2 strikes

[Derwood]

PCA absolutely refuses to take a walk

He’s missed some easy flies in Phoenix, in Atlanta, and now in Chicago. Not sure if it’s losing the ball in the lights, rain, lack of concentration, fluke plays, or all of the above.

He is a liability for sure, and I am not making any excuses for him. I just feel for the guy.

Jesus that was a terrible AB from Pete

PCA showing the ump it hit his bat, but the catcher caught the ball before it hit the ground

[profisme]

If he gets out of this without giving up any runs…

[chibears55]

He threw PCA 1 strike in that AB and then threw 4 straight balls to Amaya

[Derwood]

Tauchman has been striking out a lot lately

[ToolDRT]

Just wow

A problem when you are a light hitter with speed

[squally1313]

Cool, fun, happy he’s been designated as our most important offensive dude 

[mfcubs22]

Greene has thrown like 5 balls in the strike zone this entire inning.

Jed likely saw this 83 win team and figured that Ross may have been worth -1 or -2 wins last year and Counsell could be worth 1-2 wins. And voila you have an 86 win team

Seiya takes the only strike he's seen. JFC

[Transmogrified Tiger]

love that for Seiya

[profisme]

Good job Seiya.
