It was a bad pitch.  I don't mind a single solo HR in 3 innings.  Just don't give up more.

How about 4 hits in an inning? 
 

I get it, but the guy just isn’t good.

No, I didn't like that.  I thought they hit 3 hits in the inning, though.

Boog with his usual positivity. The Cubs suck and have sucked for weeks. End of story.

They did - texted pissed off and hit four lol.

Just frustrating for all the fans right now. 

[Papa Cub]

Jump is looking like he’s gonna go 7-8 innings strong

CY candidate and all, but then again, Cubs make a lot of below average to average pitchers look like CY candidates

That’s about all I can stomach - on to watching something else

I hope when Cabrera and Boyd get back, the Cubs put Jamo on the DL. He must have whiplash from all the HR's he given up.

So, is this gonna be another game they finally get good pitching but nothing from the bats 🙄

Possibly.  The bats have been very quiet, since the 1st inning.

[mk49]

Jamo wasn't bad.  Now, score some runs!

He pitched well tonight. They aren’t going to IL him. 

[chibears55]

This team can really be a boring watch

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Completely lifeless

It’s 8-9-1 and I’m usually team ‘get an extra inning if you can’ but…probably would have let Taillon feel good about his 6 innings and put in a better pitcher. 

[squally1313]

Alright that works too 

[JHBulls]

Now that Jamo has come out, you just know the bullpen will give up 6 runs,

Theyll have to decide what to do with Taillon or Rea when Boyd returns next week,  I hope theyre not dumb enough to put Brown back into the bullpen. 

[PeanutPunch33]

Jump is actually a decent prospect.  Sometimes you just have to tip your cap

I could see Rea back to the pen, he’s better than Taillon but not by much and he’s used to getting moved around. But I also wouldn’t be surprised to see them look for an opportunity to limit Browns innings in the pen at some point this year. 

[mk49]

Wow, I was impressed by the last sweeper Milner pitched.  That was great.

[JHBulls]

If the Chicago Cubs were a music group, they would sound like those two dudes.

That would suck.

Man, I don't like saying this, but Seiya really sucks.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Mark Kotsay is a war criminal if he takes out Jump, I don't know why Boog and JD are trying to insinuate they should be considering it
