He hasn't looked that bad so far, but it's only 1 inning.

I'm hoping the Phillies keep losing and the Diamondbacks knock them out

I doubt the Dbacks get in. 5 back is pretty tough. Probably have to win out. And they have 2 against the Yankees and finish with SD. Would be nice, however, if the Dodger beat up on SD, so Az can close the gap some and have a reason to play the last few games.

Ding Dong.

Good job getting him home Matt

By the time Boyd is done derwood could very well be right. I just didn’t see anything terrible in the first inning. Second inning a couple of nice plays helped.

He threw a lot of non-competitive pitches

Yeah, but he's been doing that for a while, and I think he's better so far.

To me, it looked like he wanted no part of EDLC. Other than that he was fine.

I'm happy to be wrong

Welp Phillies down 10-3 in the 9th. Can’t drop to WC3 no matter what. 

[UMFan83]

Feel like the Cubs have hit a ton of warning track shots so far this series. The launch angle has been a little too high for several of these

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Umpire is dogshit and of course our hitters won't challenge

[chibears55]

Here's where I start getting a bit uneasy with this team, its the 4th inning,  SP looks good,  getting outs, but they only have a 1-0 lead.

If theyre not leading by 4+ runs by the 6th inning, its like it doesn't matter how good the starter was, because its those last 3-4 innings with the bullpen that going to decide the game if they dont have a biglead. 

🙄🙄

[UMFan83]

5+ ERA starter has allowed 1 through 4 innings 😡

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Holy crap this umpire's zone is massive

Pete’s ops has remained excellent this month but he is getting on base less

Yea I find those charts funny, even the challenge percentage,  they show that saying they average 4 a game and sometimes youll see them already having 5 challenges by the 4th inning 😅

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Boyd saw us get another run and was like "alright let me totally lose command now brother"

[Geographyhater8888]

Dansby’s not taking any chances to cough up the lead here with Boyd looking sharp.

[UMFan83]

Omg what the horsefeathers was that?  Little horsefeathers like that is going to have us playing in San Diego or Philly 

[Derwood]

Here comes the sub-.200 hitter to give them the lead

[UMFan83]

Worst hitter in baseball this year ties it up with 2 strikes and 2 outs
