One more? 🤔🤷‍♂️

If he has a low pitch count like 80, hes either done or gets 1 batter.

Be a little easier to deal with if the bats could show a little life here and put a couple runs up.

If he goes 5 and just gives up the 4, maybe Rea or Assad can hold them scoreless the rest of way.  Need something out of the bats though, maybe Happ will surprise us tonight 

Yeah, cutting the lead in half was big in the fourth. Lots of game left though…..

In regards to Happ - that has to be CC’s thinking (just roll him out there because he’s a gold glover and he will eventually swing himself out of this gutter) 🤷‍♂️

Can't stand these crafty righty dorks

Collin Rea would pitch 7 innings with 1 earned run against this lineup.

Lugo gives up a ton of 1st pitch hits.

Lugo has thrown several first pitches right down the middle

Cubs have taken all of them

Time to get more aggressive

His last rehab was around 73 I think - so yeah, maybe low to mid 80s. Be cool to have a quick inning here to save some arms

I saw that stat at the start of the game - 

[chibears55]

Rea should go all 5 and save the bullpen no matter the score and outside of him getting blown up.

Hopefully the bats can get to 5+ to win this

Rea can’t find the plate. Come on man. 

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

No one is coming in to save Rea, this could get ugly 

[profisme]

Luuuuuuucky. Let’s get some runs.
