[Dfan25]

Right back in it . Get Rea up 

[chibears55]

Ok Mr Swanson,  your turn

[JBears79]

Lugo has been throwing those meatballs all game. Finally it lands

[chibears55]

Ok, back in the game,  just need to shut them down the rest of way.

[Dfan25]

It’s ok don’t have to get them all back at the same time . Lot of game left

Probably not a bad thought. Holmes doesn’t have good command tonight and if he faces Caglianone again it could be big trouble.

I’ll miss Carlson next year. He’s been a solid pickup.

Dylan?

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Gotta get him out if you want any chance here, he's too rusty

Kelly. Accidental L. 

[Dfan25]

Get him out Craig . He had nothing tonight 

[profisme]

That was a hanger. Got lucky there.

Yeah lol. I know. We are trailing and I was a bit of a dick. Sorry. 

[Dfan25]

Ok at least he got them thru 4 . Would imagine that’s it 

[profisme]

Well that was nice. 

[chibears55]

Counsell has that look in the dugout, and scratching his head.

He needs to get Holmes some work/pitches in, and he wants to win this game,  especially now that their back in it. 

Hes like come on kid, get me through this inning

Sorry, the idiots on Facebook are all crying about the trade right now because they are all overreactive morons

Yeah - one rough outing out of the gate is nothing. Of course everyone wants their guy to throw 7 shut out innings, but that’s not reality - especially coming off a 60-day IL stint. 
Some people go from one end of the spectrum to the other in a few innings lol
