3 days ago we led MLB in success rate

Really.  NEVER would have guessed that.  I stand corrected.

Admit it, you're internally debating whether the better callup would be Triantos, Ramirez, or Rojas if Nico needs some time off, and it's an oddly entertaining internal debate to have.

I mean...ugh. Yeah kind of. 

(I vote Pedro but Triantos is a fun addition to the bench and could steal some games)

[JHBulls]

I know PCA is a very fast runner, but he never should have made it safe at 2nd. Thank you CF’er. 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Brutal couple chases by Dansby. They have an open base, you have the leverage. 

[CubinNY]

Pat with the weekend off after the road trip. Zach has gotten a lot better, but he's not Pat. 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Still came through! But damn 4 horrible chases and one more debatable ball. 

[JHBulls]

Good AB Dansby. A few chases on bad pitches, but he stayed with it. 

[Illiterate Scholar]

The Cubs position players are quite good!

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

I imagine the DBacks bullpen is already in bad shape considering the Brewers blew them out twice 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Really strong offense up and down the lineup today

[Cubs420psd]

Damn Bregman is slow, how was that not a triple?

 

Either way, niceeee

Great piece of hitting by Bregman.  Gotta think if healthy he's on 3rd

He's fighting through a toe injury

Gallen's ERA is good but his underlying numbers are not.  1.36 WHIP.  Hard hit rate is pretty high.  He's a candidate for regression - hope it starts today.  Weather may help him though. 

This post ….. aged well.

Agreed and he is not 100 percent and yet his OPS > 800 now. 

[BKHoo]

Ok Seiya break this game open here. 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Ugh bad chase, should have kept the line moving

[CubinNY]

Fun game so far.

 

[UMFan83]

Inning ending GIDP to Shaw ends up with 0 outs and now the DBacks have a rally going ugh

Alternate post:  Shaw was shaded too far to the right to make that play

Edit:  Also my feed was behind so I guess that happened a few minutes ago lol

Rea did his job, good 5 innings from him today

[PackLandVA]

13 additional pitches after what shoud've been an inning ending DP.  Rea pitched great but may not get the 6th inning.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Diamondbacks are always super annoying 

[chibears55]

I know it bottom of order, but not liking that Rea still out there 

[soccer10k]

Not the best idea for Bregman to let that roll.
