Craig cannot keep putting Seiya in the field.

Maybe get rid of Brujan and bring up someone else 🤷‍♂️

At this point I’d rather have Brujan play RF than Seiya

[chibears55]

OK, limited the damage 

Get something back and go from there

Let Go

But then Brujan would have to bat.

Yeah, I have no problem with the decision. Seiya makes that catch 9 times out of 10. A real outfielder makes it 99 times out of 100. 

Win this game and feel justified that Seiya gets very little time in the field.

Single is good to start.

[Andy]

I know it's part of what makes Pete Pete, but he really submarines himself sometimes with his overeagerness to swing. The wind is howling out, make the guy throw you a strike.

Unfortunately, rest of the lineup didn’t go as well as hoped.

[Geographyhater8888]

I prefer Busch hitting 5th.

DH doesn't have to be for the pitcher. 😜

[Derwood]

Defense did not come to play today

[Cubbies1996]

Alright Nico. Do what you do with RISP!

[mul21]

Man I thought that was a DP off Dansby's bat.

Not that

[Derwood]

Reese has been a revelation

[BigSlick]

you are NOT allowed to lose a home series to these bums, so figure it out boys 

[chibears55]

Ok, got 1

Just no more defensive miscues now and giving them runs

At least Reese was able to *yank* a ball to right field for a run

Interesting article on sprint speed and how Buxton and Turner reign supreme still somehow despite many players dramatically declining over the years.

It defies the laws of physics.
