Give him a break he’s still grieving

Hard to hit with tears in your eyes 🥺

Jesus take the bat

[abuck1220]

won’t ever happen but I hope they trade Shaw. impossible to root for personally and has looked like an overmatched JV player for 80% of the season 

[ILMindState]

Ugh 10 hits and only 2 runs

Damnit. Well, probably just used up almost every pitch Suarez had in him. 

They'll either have to go on three-day-usage Morejon and Miller or dip into the BP further. 

You think so? It’s an elimination game, I think they’ll extend him beyond what they normally would unless he gets in trouble

[Caesar]

It’s going to be the offense as everyone predicted. WOW just wow

holy horsefeathers Palencia out for a 3rd inning?

He wasn't super sharp and went 18 pitches yesterday. He probably shouldn't be trusted much over 30 and he's almost there already.

I appreciate Matt Shaw. His at-bats are perfect for bathroom breaks

Just one hitter. They'll bring in Pomeranz for the lefties.

[UMFan83]

Wow, I know Drew is coming in after this but surprised to see Palencia out for a 3rd different inning

839 OPS post All Star break, but he needs a B hack

2 runs won’t hold. Very predictable. 

[Rex Buckingham]

Lets go Drew

[Hortonhearsawho]

Come on Drew we need you to come up huge here!

[chibears55]

Here we go...

Let them stay in this game after blowing opportunities to put them away, especially in that 2nd inning 😤 

[PeanutPunch33]

Getting sketch 

[Eeyore]

Who doing the stretch?

[Guest]

ugh come on DP ball pls!

[Jason Ross]

If I told you in March that the Cubs would have Drew Pomeranz and Brad Keller closing out the last 9 outs of a playoff series, you'd have thought I was crazy.

Oh boy

You think Keller will go 2 if Drew gets through this inning?

Yep. You have a former SP who's rested. If Kittredge handn't been used the last two days, I think he would have had an inning. But considering that? It's probably Keller for six.
