Why do the Cubs give up so many 3rd outs in the bases? And this one with Bellinger coming up. Stupid. -
Missed a home run by a foot
-
I always thought Taillon was bad, even when the stats didn't necessarily support that. I wonder how much the Cubs outbid themselves to sign him.
-
If the Cubs are serious about trying to make the playoffs, it's time for this guy to get the Smyly treatment. I don't care if it's Shane Greene, Killian, or whoever else that takes his spot, but continuing to run a guy out there with a 6 ERA is not working.
-
Let's try hanging hittable pitches in the middle of the zone.
-
The good news is Arizona and San Francisco both lost. The bad news... Just when it looked like a gap was opening up ahead of Cincinnati and Miami, they are both right back in the picture now.
-
I get it, but who else isn't playing that should be? It's not like the Cubs have a hot bat sitting on the bench.
-
How does that correlate with the heel injury? He sure doesn't show any signs of being injured on defense though, so that probably has nothing to do with it.
-
Reds about to walk this off again.
-
Hypothetically speaking, if Stroman came back this year, what do you do with the rotation? Send Taillon to the pen? Go to a 6 man for the rest of the regular season?
-
Unbelievable job by Assad.
-
And I don't think anyone was suggesting that Alzolay has been anything but great this year. But there have been signs recently that he isn't quite as sharp as he has been for a majority of the season. Is it fatigue or just a random down period? Who knows?
-
Is Dansby basically bad Javy right now? A little less chase, a little more reliable on defense, and a little less power, but very similar performance.
-
Also, that was a pretty miserable offensive performance. There are legitimate things to complain about.
-
It was bound to happen sooner or later, but I feel like he's been walking the tightrope recently with some hard hit balls and would-be home runs if not for the Wrigley wind.
-
17 innings of great baseball and the one guy we really trusted to get the job done couldn't do it. That is unfortunate.
-
Welp, here we go.
-
Who had a 2-1 score through 7 with this group of pitchers on both sides?
-
We're going go with Smyly until he implodes, aren't we?
-
Whatever it is, I also seem to remember a few of his rare hits being infield hits. Overall, he has been making a TON of unproductive outs.
-
What is wrong with Swanson?
-
If the Cubs can win 3 out of 4 against the Reds, then it really doesn't matter. They will either gain a lot of ground on one team, or a little on both.
-
Assuming Keegan can finish off the 9th now, this was huge to shorten tonight's game. With Leiter and Alzolay both fresh, now the Cubs only need to cobble 7 innings together.
