Would have been nice to get another one out of bases loaded no outs.

[Derwood]

bases loaded, no outs, and get 1 run out of it.

This feels like deja vu

1 is better than 0 but yeah with 2-3-4 due up that's pretty disappointing.

[JHBulls]

Cheers Sut, everything you just said is what we saw.

It baffles me because I believe that he could develop into something.  He was drafted the same year as Owen Caissie.  I would give the opportunities to the guy who could potentially play a role in years to come if everything else was essentially equal.  We can disagree on whether that's the case. 

And we do disagree. Which is fine.

Maybe don’t throw four uncompetitive pitches to the 8 hitter and then fall behind 2-0 on the 9 hitter.

He says a half inning after the Cubs started a rally under similar circumstances 😀

The walk was bad but both runs being driven in on balls that didn't or barely got through the infield is some bad BABIP luck.

[Derwood]

Having stayed up for the game last night, I am now falling asleep watching the afternoon game today

[WhyCantWeWin]

Dansby is killing it with his 66 wRC+. 

[UMFan83]

Seems like the offense has slowed down over the past week outside of the very notable exception of the 16-0 game that you obviously can't just discredit.

[cl smooth]

not to sound heartless but does anyone else feel like they need a hard drink whenever boog talks about ALS for more than one batter? 

[JHBulls]

Wake up Nico ffs. 

[Rex Buckingham]

This inning is stupid

[JBears79]

What is up with the defense man? Its like once a game there is an inning where everyone forgets how to play their position

[Rex Buckingham]

nice work by Boyd

[Jason Ross]

Alright Tuck, you haven't hit a bomb for a while. Now would be a nice time to break that streak.

[Derwood]

Tucker showing bunt makes me very angry

[UMFan83]

Not even close. Wonder what the Cubs saw to make them challenge that. 

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Head first slide might help avoiding the tag

How can that be🤷 Sutcliffe said it was a good idea……Said he liked it A LOT.

I think they had to get the decision in and Counsell just risked it.

[UMFan83]

Another ball that could have easily been an out goes for an IF hit

[JBears79]

Boyd got absolutely screwed over by his defense today.
