Umpire gets the first pitch wrong, that's surely not a bad sign.

[WhyCantWeWin]

Should be a walk because of that first pitch. Laz being Laz

Cubs will score a few today, several with big career numbers vs, Abbott.

Was this the pitcher they hit a billion hard hit outs against last weekend but only scored 1 run against?

Yeah, I don't know, wasn't even that good of pitch, something that should have been smoked.  But this horsefeathers umpire has different struck zones horizontally for each team.

Yep, and so far today they cant touch him 🙄

[chibears55]

Let get on the board here, Rea seemed to settle down a bit.

[BigSlick]

lets get this vaunted offense going boys

[UMFan83]

Can we score runs this homestand please?

They're just a little off, plenty of pitches to hit not doing anything with them.

[PeanutPunch33]

The Reds are not a bad team, I personally think they are better than the Cardinals 

But yeah horsefeathers the Reds 

[Dfan25]

Rea will have to wear it today , because a lot of pen will probably be used tomorrow . This just isn’t a good matchup for. Rea . Lots of reds hot right now with the bats .

[We Got The Whole 9]

I am not sure if they have another comeback in them. The bats look dead.

[UMFan83]

Reds have almost scored as many runs as the Rockies did all last series

Yeah I'm really hoping the bats get going again before we go on a road trip next week against the 2 teams with the best record in baseball

Yes, Abbott given them quit a few pitches to hit and they've missed on all of them.

[Hot Sauce]

What did Colorado do to our offense?

[Dfan25]

If they can’t get back into this game , hopefully it’s Rea and Flexen the rest of the way .

Bats need to do something here to keep this a ballgame,  Rea is likely gonna be asked to go at least 2 more innings with tomorrow being a bullpen game.

[Dfan25]

If they keep swinging it like in the Rockies series , it’s going to be a rough weekend  Reds are hot with the bats right now . 

[UMFan83]

How did we go from hitting as well as we did last weekend in Cincinnati to 9 runs in 32 innings at Wrigley, today with 2 base runners in 5 innings?

[chibears55]

I hope Cubs are going with Taillon tomorrow and Horton Sunday, then with Monday off they can go to Brown on Tuesday against the Nationals.

[Chicago Al]

Abbott making it look way too easy.

Pitch Swanson struck out was crushed last week.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Abbott is probably gonna go 7 or 8 innings
