[Brandon Glick]

Happy Tuesday! It's... another game against the Dodgers. Yay. At least Shota is on the mound.

These schedule makers suck this year.

Last time we see the dodgers right? Would be happy with a split

NLCS if the Dodgers make it

While May's numbers are sparkling probably worth noting the three offenses he's seen rank 21st, 23rd, and 29th in wRC+.

Between that and tomorrow's game being some sort of opener/bullpen game deal, shouldn't be too tough to get a split and there's a decent chance at grabbing both.

Wish I had this much optimism. I am actually hoping for a split.

Finish up April going 4-3 the last 7 games of the month. 18-13 would be an awesome record for who they faced. I know May starts with a Skenes game and then Brewers, Giants and Mets, but it then gets easier. And I am not so sure the Brewers and the Giants are that good. Get through April and start distancing themselves from the division and maybe put themselves in a spot to be a top 2 team in the playoffs.

Damn, the acquisition of Drew Pomeranz flew under my radar,  I only saw it because I kept scrolling through X lol...

Another 36 yo reliever 

[chibears55]

So far these bench guys can't hit or field at 3B 🙄

[Derwood]

Edman does it again

[Derwood]

Test his urine ASAP

[chibears55]

Workman Error caused all this, they need to go get a 3rd basemen 

[PeanutPunch33]

Workman is garbage, that's 2 costly errors he's made out there in a week and he surely doesn't contribute anything on offense.  They can find someone else to give high 5s and slap butts in the dugout.  Send this bum back to AAA or the YMCA league 

[Derwood]

May deserves bad things to happen to him simply for that hair/beard combo

[PeanutPunch33]

Seiya!

Seiya is killing it. Love to see it.

Both of the Cubs' Japanese investments have paid major dividends.  I really wish they got Shota for that 5th year because he will be expensive to keep once he hits free agency in a few years

[DYMNO]

Between May’s look and having to listen to Alex Cohen, two of my senses are under a full on assault.

[PeanutPunch33]

Dansby! 

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Earned runs should count double..

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Goddammit you got me asking to see what Justin Turner has left at 3B.

Also good quick comeback. This offense is fun.

At the time he signed, I felt as though Shota was a mere consolation prize, but he has quickly become one of my favorite Cubs. I really hope we don’t play poor when his contract expires, and I really hope he keeps producing at a rate that’ll justify an expensive contract.
