What an absolute nightmare. You know, I have to wonder if this was part of Boras' plans all along.

Rebel needs to start hitting over the Mendoza line at Peoria if he wants to begin next year at Daytona. I don't think the Cubs have ever cared much about batting averages when it comes to bumping guys up to Daytona. Jost has to end up in full season ball if the Cubs plan on doing anything with him. Maybe he'll end up in Daytona, but I get the feeling he'll be in Peoria next season.

Preceding that with the always popular "roll over" option.

I can see situations where the ground rule double would be unfair to the team on offense. Those hits could be triples or could have scored runners from first.

Just when I think the Cubs can't get any better at failing, the Mets come along and set the bar even lower.

1B Bryan Jost should be at Peoria. I'm guessing Ridling/Johnston/Rosa/Smith will share DH at Daytona.

Great win! Let's never speak of it again.

i doubt it... have you seen the girls in pittsburgh? No, but now I'm very curious. Think "peanut butter sandwich being pulled apart," imo.

They could be 10 out with 10 to play and I'd still be worried about them.

This is true!

MVP Soto

Maybe this is The Soto Game.

Fukucopter. :(

Henry Blanco looks angry.

Not gonna get robbed that time!

He was released. :(

Wow. If I were Reed Johnson, I'd take 3 pitches, minimum.

Time for Ramirez to make the Pirate fans hate him even more.

Keep up the patience!

Lean into it!

Bob was disgusted with that, haha.

Triple play.
