I know pre-game yesterday they said Lopez is coming back in the next few days as well.  Palencia and Lopez in Wingenter and Neely out?

That would make the most sense to me.  Neely has been super hittable and definitely still has some work to do to be MLB effective.

[WhyCantWeWin]

Steele being activated tomorrow, Lopez and Wesneski and Merryweather probably ready soon too. Wonder who they send down

[WhyCantWeWin]

Was the perfect moment for a double steal 

[Cubs206]

Wicks is the new Hendricks 

[WhyCantWeWin]

If Bellinger gets up to 120 wRC+ I bet he opts out

[chibears55]

Cubs hitting them hard but not out,  As hitting them out.

[WhyCantWeWin]

Wicks giving up some serious dongs lately. 

[JHBulls]

Larry went full Cubs. Three big Cubs swings of the bat all to deep centre. A’s player hits a homer for few minutes later.

Damn Pete, you had that walk in the bag taking a couple tough pitches. Bad chase.

[Derwood]

Oof, Dansby

[chibears55]

Cubs needca dinger this inning 

[Irrelevant Dude]

Oh, so we did the Wisdom for Busch thing again and now Wisdom is facing a righty in a key situation?

Yea,  I don't get it, especially so early in game. 

 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Damn Ian took Miller deep

[We Got The Whole 9]

Credit to Swanson for avoiding the platinum sombrero against Miller

Kind of crazy that Happ might be having the best year of his career

[WhyCantWeWin]

Yikes 13 strikeouts on the day for Cubs batters

[We Got The Whole 9]

Seiya just missed the "meatball" 

[Derwood]

Relievers regularly throwing over 100mph is the equivalent of NFL kickers regularly hitting 58 yarder field goals. The athleticism is sort of breaking the game

[UMFan83]

The Cubs can officially not win 90 games this year, the 6th straight year they’ve failed to do that (5th full season removing 2020). 
 

They can still finish with their most wins since 2018 with an 8-3 finish (85-77)

And we were all here to Cit.
