Yes Michael it is real brick. 

[Old Style]

Someone tell Conforto that’s brick out there.

8 runs off 5 hits (before that hit). 

[Irrelevant Dude]

Get Shota through a nice easy 6 innings and then Hollowell can eat the last 3? 

[BKHoo]

Shota has hung a few today.  He has been pretty lucky. 

[SparkMark1]

C'mon.  Nothing silly here.

[Tryptamine]

He is gassed, you really need to pull him.

[chibears55]

Fuk. Get through this inning Shota 

[Outshined_One]

I really don't want to give the broadcast an excuse to pull up a statistic like, "Record for teams who are up 8-0 in the 6th inning."

[UMFan83]

Thank you Hayes.  C'mon Shota one more.

[Outshined_One]

Well now, that was momentarily stupid.

Good job getting out of it, Sho.

[Old Style]

Wasn’t worried one bit. 

[SparkMark1]

Good job Shota

[chibears55]

Big, great job Shota

[mk49]

Phew.  Shota didn't have his command right in the 6th.  Overall, he was great.  His 4 seam velo is down a little, two games in a row.  This should be an easy game to win now.

 

[muntjack]

Lol Bregman is the worst hitter on the team.

[mk49]

Most Whiffs in MLB.  That's really good.

Pretty crazy his OPS is somehow worse than Dansby.

[Irrelevant Dude]

What a difference a day makes... In less than 24 hours, Thornton goes from the highest of high leverage situations to pitching in a 7 run laffer.

[Tryptamine]

Thornton looks like your classic nibbler who doesn't miss bats.

I expect more from the Cubs 20th best reliever!

While I get your point, there is in fact better RP sitting out there in FA right now.

Cohen, saying someone is “pretty sharp” just because that person is old isn’t the compliment you might think it is.
