After getting lucky with hard hit outs yesterday, Bregman just decided to go back to weak grounders

Sometimes his hot streaks only last a game or two 🙄🙄🙄😅😅😅

You know what, with Ian Happ on deck I have to change my opinion on that call.  GREAT send by Barry.  😂

Yep - the way he’s been swinging the bat ya can’t blame Berry for that send 

[Rcal10]

I would have gone another inning with Peterson. Only 77 pitches. We need length from the rotation.

Something is just off with him, he's more of a weak pop up than a weak grounder guy.

[chibears55]

Only getting 1 (hopefully) out of Hollowell today. 

[chibears55]

Whewww.... Fuk

[Papa Cub]

Baseball gods smiled down on that one - yikes

same, although I understand why they didn’t want him to face O’Neil again

Agreed. He has to be done.

No kidding - that would’ve opened it up for them 

[chibears55]

Hey Bats, how about helping the bullpen out today and get them a few runs here to work with 

[mk49]

Hollowell almost sucked big time.

[Jason Ross]

Ah, a perfect, no issue, low pressure, scoreless inning.

 

[abuck1220]

absolute lockdown inning from hollowell. 

[Dfan25]

It’s a miracle that this game tied . Thus game has been full of awful matchups for the Cubs

I agree with your statement as well. However,CC’s defense, I can understand why he didn’t want to roehl Peterson out there third time through the lineup with their power, hitters up. Back to your point, we do need more innings out of our rotation whenever possible.

[Papa Cub]

Happ!!! So it begins - a horsefeathers ripper is coming from Happer

[Papa Cub]

No….did I…..just see Thielbar warming in the pen??! horsefeathers me

'Thielbar getting loose'

Did we find another Thielbar?

Not criticizing CC on it. Just saying I would have liked an extra inning. This is one of those decisions that managers have to make all the time with no real right or wrong answer.

Seiya is back up to an 800+ OPS.  They are doing a disservice by not having him hit behind PCA in the #2 spot.
