You were right, unfortunately.

[abuck1220]

that was an extremely predictable 3 run hr, especially after he got down 2-0. thanks nico. 

[chibears55]

Yep...  single, error, bunt single, SF, and that homerun ball 

[Geographyhater8888]

God damnit Nico. Another extra run that never happens with Dansby at short.

[Papa Cub]

A homerless game for our pitching staff would be outstanding

Fire Tommy Hottovy into the sun

[abuck1220]

walking a guy with a .560 ops after being ahead 0-2 in front of their only good hitter. not my favorite strategy. 

[JHBulls]

It’s always one bad inning that ruins everything. :(

[ILMindState]

Webb in high pressure with two outs, what can go wrong?

[Geographyhater8888]

Webb in with 2 outs. Grandslam?

87.9% chance holmes walks the phillies #9 hitter in front of a schwarber hr to lose the first WC game 4-3.

[Papa Cub]

Yep - Skenes still pretty low pitch count, so we are going to have to put up some big innings later in the game I believe 

[mk49]

Great job, Webb.

[chibears55]

Ok,  bad inning out of way, get the lead back

[Snott]

Left him tooo long. Great effort but he’s good for 85.  Frustrating for Craig. No bullpen.  Have the cubs ever had a good bullpen. I don’t care anymore. Go bears

[Geographyhater8888]

What are the chances that the bullpen holds the Pirates scoreless only for the Cubs to lose 3-2?

Bullpen?  Skenes is on track to go 9 right now.

Cubs need at least 4 more against Skenes. This one’s done. 

[UMFan83]

I just can't take this team seriously.  Almost guaranteed to be a HR allowed every game, frequently with runners on.  12 runs yesterday, 2 so far today.  Frustrating

Right, but the bullpen has been letting us down way too often. The offense wants payback.

I forgot Holmes was a cub there for a second

Well I mean yesterday was a bunch of rookies and today is freaking Skenes. But yeah the pitching is guaranteed a HR every day.

Bold of you to assume they won’t fall further in the standings.
