Should be gave up 2 assets that could of been add ons in a better deal

"Add ons" barely move the needle in better and bigger deals. These two prospects did not have much juice. We gotta stop pretending that other organizations are dying to get our 19 year old with a 91 wRC+ in the lowest level of professional baseball he could be in Stateside and be with an MLB organization.

Nice jog there, Tuck. 

[Jason Ross]

Get the horsefeathers out of here with these swinging bunts. Jeeze. Braiser did everything right in that PA and Hayes did everything wrong.

[DYMNO]

You’ve gotta be shitting me.

I was just going to compliment Brasier…

He wasn’t helped by CB either. Dude is AWFUL.

[Geographyhater8888]

Willy Mayes Hayes lead off single right there.

JFC.

Yep. He had four strikes in the zone (CB called #1 a ball) and then Hayes swung and hit #6 at 38.6mph.

Mind you, he watched #2 and #3, which were both worse pitches than #1. There is no justification for #1 to be a ball. #3 was lower than that pitch and it's in the middle, so it couldn't have missed anywhere but "down".

JFC-2 hits tonight,  The offense seems to have some serious issues afoot. 

[Andy]

Well that was very predictable after that stupid Hayes hit

[DYMNO]

Hello 3 games back. Ugh.

This has the feeling of a Reds-solo-HR kind of inning. 

Or this

[javy knows my name]

This is utter horsefeathers

[Irrelevant Dude]

Dink and dunk

[Derwood]

Why do the BABIP gods hate us

[Geographyhater8888]

That’s game. Because in order to win  holding the Reds to 2 runs was a must vs their horsefeathers bullpen.

Same crap different game. Better figure it out fast. 

[chibears55]

Guess yesterday walkoff win didn't ignite anything in this team, still playing 500 type baseball

Maybe they finally did figure it out…

[squally1313]

horsefeathers is the game already over?

[BigSlick]

Oh my god this is so PREDICTABLE. If you’re going to be annoying at least do it in a new way. God damn. 

[Jason Ross]

Cubs cannot count on scoring two runs to a baseball game. That said, that inning was bad luck beat after bad luck beat. Braiser struck out Hayes on three pitches, a swinging bunt with a 38.6,mph ev set up Friedl who hit a well placed pitch. 

Offense needs to pick 'em up. Everyone will get at least one more shot at it.

[Geographyhater8888]

Such a maddening game and way too predictable.
