Let’s do this Adbert -
Seiya’s early count aggressiveness is nice. Just wish he swung at the first one right down the middle
-
Reds and Pirates are rained out today, DH tomorrow
-
8-9-1 due up for Toronto
-
Beautiful Morel
-
Bellinger is a decent baseball player
-
At this point i think you consider Merryweather for a 2nd inning if the Cubs don’t score in the 9th
-
Yeah I don’t think you can’t both pull your starter early AND pull your middle relievers early when they are pitching well for matchup purposes. Especially in a 1 run game where the chances of being in a tied game late are decent.
-
If they save Alzolay for a potential save, relievers left for the 9th (unless Merryweather goes 2) are Wesneski, Kilian, Smyly and Palencia edit: I see others are making this point too lol
-
Nice job Gomes.
-
Wonder if Cuas was the plan in this one or forced into it because Ross blew 2 of his higher leverage relievers in the 6th (yes I’m admitting Fulmer is back on the fringes of that circle) good opportunity for him to gain more confidence
-
Oh so that’s what would have happened if Gomes hit the other day
-
No probably not, seems weird to pull your starter early and then start pulling your top relievers early for matchup purposes in the 6th inning.
-
2 strikes to Schneider who doubles, 2 strikes to Biggio who walks, 2 strikes to Espinal who doubles. Meanwhile we went to at least 3 balls to 5 of the 7 hitters in the inning.
-
And the pen blows it load management may have cost us the game
-
I guess I get it. Especially during a stretch with 3 off days in 8 day span you can lean on your pen a little more which has been sharp. Also Assad make this a more viable option by going 7 yesterday
-
Ok a little surprised they pulled Steele after 5 and 84 pitches.
-
Which is fine, I’m more than happy if he can be a solid number 2 that occasionally has great outings and rarely has blow up outings. Same with Stroman when he returns. If the offense continues to play this week that will get us far. Way more than I expected from Steele when he first came up that’s for sure. Would love to get a true ace though whether it’s Horton or via FA/trade

Dammit Steele
-
For Bautista jersey retirement. Not sure why they didn’t do it before 2:07
-
Laughing at the Twitter discourse about Fields stats looking good because his weapons did all the work.
-
What a messy game. Not a great fumble for Scott
-
Not sure but whatever. With Herbert, Foreman, Johnson and Homer on the roster the only way Ebner is on the roster is if he has a ST role
-
I’m fine keeping him for gadget plays if there is space on the roster for him but he should never be involved on punt returns. That’s his 3rd TO in limited number of attempts

Don’t get hurt this year Justin
