I know Conforto is playing out of his mind but I don't want his playing time to come at the expense of Ballesteros 🤷‍♂️ someone else needs to ride the pine

[JHBulls]

Great base running Conforto. 

[Papa Cub]

7 Runners left in three innings - 4 in RISP no good

1st and 3rd nobody out and they can't get a run 🤦‍♂️

[Bobson Dugnutt]

Seven stranded through three. Sheesh.

Yeah - he’s been brutal. Again - by NICO standards. He’s usually Mr. Consistency

It's started after he got hit by a pitch and the neck issue.

[PeanutPunch33]

After those 1st 2 starts Cabrera has been pretty mid

[JHBulls]

Just one of those days. Start a brand new 10 game win streak tomorrow.

Yep - not our night. 

[Derwood]

You guys have said this "oh well, not our night" thing over and over and then the Cubs come back late

Yeah, I think a little over 4.5 ERA.

Yeh, I was gonna say he hasn't been the same since his return,  maybe he wasn't fully ready.

Both he and Bregman has been meh so far this season. 

[JHBulls]

This ballpark either needs to leave the roof open or much better lighting. It looks so dark and dreary.

dude has nothing tonight

[Papa Cub]

I’d assume Cabrera is finished for the night, so now don’t you just throw Roberts again and other “minor arms” and save your other stronger arms for series rubber match tomorrow? Who will they roll with the rest of the game?

OK, I did a quick math.  His ERA is 5.19 in his 6 starts.  I was hoping he would pitch better than the last 5 games tonight.

You’re absolutely correct - they have been proving people wrong lately. I am one of those guys tonight - just something “off” with them tonight. 

[Bobson Dugnutt]

I know it won’t happen early and it probably won’t happen at all given the way the last few trade deadlines unfolded, but man I so badly want to jump the market on a starter (above the Michael Soroka tier).

They had Leiter on the ropes all night and couldn’t cash in. Easy to say “not our night” under the circumstances.
