[BKHoo]

He sure loves to put a lot of guys on base.  

[Derwood]

Peterson is just getting BABIP'd to death

[PeanutPunch33]

Un horsefeathers real.  

[Tryptamine]

This has to be the last Peterson start. 12 base runners in 4 2/3  IP>

[BKHoo]

Go get em. His luck is running out. 

[Hortonhearsawho]

Well at least Cabrera is coming back and can take Peterson spot in the rotation next time around.

[Derwood]

SO

MANY

BASERUNNERS

[squally1313]

The nationals lead the league in runs and he’s getting strikeouts. This is more encouraging than his last start. 

[Papa Cub]

Thank goodness these guys have weak pitching because they hit the horsefeathers out of the ball and are speedy on the base paths

[JBears79]

Letting Lile of all people beat you lol

[profisme]

Peterson has been pretty lucky up until this inning.

[JBears79]

HOw many changeups can perterson leave high? Is he trying to set a record

I haven’t been watching the whole game but that 0-2 pitch, on the outside corner and 6” below the zone had no business going for a base hit.

[We Got The Whole 9]

What a crap inning, especially the walk to Pinckney

[Geographyhater8888]

Every horsefeathers thing they hit misses a Cub defender.

[chibears55]

4 inning ballgame now, with the bullpens

Peterson has been doing quite well I think - shaky tonight at times (lots of guys on base), but they are one of, if not the best offense in the game. They hit

Very Brewers-esque

yeah, I feel dumb defending him now.  That was an embarrassing inning.  Can't protect a 3 run lead and all the damage done with 2 outs.

[UMFan83]

Ok I honestly wasn’t thinking too much about the division but if they can manage to win tonight I will consider it back in play

26.2% at the moment. Though only 18%ish for the bye

No Wood, they traded Maed and Garcia too…. They’re not supposed to be scoring this many runs.

If the Cubs overtake the Brew I’m confident they’ll get the bye. Let’s gooo.

[Derwood]

Happ with a hit vs. a lefty?

 

[Derwood]

lol, Washington's defense suuucks
