Good time for a PCA dong here

Clearly he had no intention of facing Seiya with PCA on deck.

I thought that but I’m sure he didn’t want to put a RISP there

Not usually, but in this case... Maybe.

[UMFan83]

At least he put it in play…

[Cubbies1996]

This lineup needs a shakeup again. Good lord.

The Cubs have 3 runs in 5 innings

PCA has a .443 SLG and 7 HR against lefties this year and Seiya is in a 2-30 slump. 

you might be right though. It’s not like PCA generally looks good against lefties

On a wild pitch strike out and an air-mailed throw on a dribbler. Let’s not pretend they’re making any sort of solid contact. 

[Irrelevant Dude]

PCA as a cleanup hitting slugger is/was fun, but he should probably be hitting 6th with Busch cleanup and a righty in between them.  Of course that means Happ would need to show signs of life to go back to leadoff.

Seems like I say this after every Jameson Taillon start, today Boyd gets it

"It's okay he gave up 4 runs and blew the lead, he showed grit by hanging in there and getting us through 6" 

[muntjack]

Lol I was about to say Boyd is going to give up a solo shot soon.

ah my bad I forgot runs only count when they meet narrative approval

[Cubbies1996]

Get. Boyd. Out. 

[Irrelevant Dude]

Just gonna let them keep teeing off to save Flexen an inning?

[muntjack]

He just doesn't have it today.  Been obvious from the 1st inning.

Yea, it sucks cause in most cases this season getting him 3 runs is enough but for him to be able to grind out 5 so far and save the pen for tomorrow is big.

For as much as we want to bag on the lineup, Counsell has been just as bad these last few weeks

Tucker and Suzuki need to start hitting. I don’t think it’s necessarily bad lineup construction.

I feel like the whole game changed on that Yelich AB and him not getting one of those three borderline calls.  Not trying to blame the umps but it has been wildly inconsistent today

[Wilson A2000]

Dang, Ryno died tonight

come on dude. you’ve already won “most level headed poster” 5 seasons in a row, no need to lean this far into it. 

[Soul]

Can’t figure out how the Crew finds players like Vaughn.  There’s no doubt at all, he’ll play well and then tank out as soon as he leaves.

[Geographyhater8888]

10 strikeouts already?
