I think he's our #1 prospect and he should be on the Top 100 prospect lists. Maybe Alzolay can still stake a claim as the Cubs top prospect since he’s much closer but I’d agree with both of your assessments.

Javy PH for him.

Definitely should’ve managed Montgomery better and made a roster move before the game if that was the case. I’m guessing Duensing was available for an inning too but you’re not going to bring him in to pull your long man.

Ended with a few 97s and 98s.

Lot of 95s from Morrow. Hope he’s just taking it easy.

I thought they were using kid gloves on Morrow?

Okay, sit Morrow down now.

Zobrist makes it a Joe Maddon-esque Morrow save situation.

Why? A gassed Farrell is still a better bet than a position player. Y’all do realize Farrell was a starter in the minors who can throw 100 pitches if necessary?

Also, if only 4 relievers were available tonight, shame on management for not sending Rosario down for Hancock.

We should still have a couple guys This is all Strops fault. If he could get a couple of outs on Thursday and Friday, Morrow doesn’t come in both games Joe’s fault for not trusting anyone but Morrow with big leads.

Honestly would've traded this effort for Farrell getting Fowler out in St Louis.

So slow.

Oh, that's why Contreras has been bunting so much lately.

"Robles is now pitching for the Mets. You know, his name rhymes with Goebbels."

Is Blevins tipping his slider?

I'm calling the 11th inning for when John Smoltz starts saying, "Actually, Hitler had some good ideas..."

Smoltz, go golf.

Justin Wilson did his job. Why don't you do yours and go for a run? I ALREADY DID, DAMMIT. And now it's storming out. You're supposed to run during the game, storms be damned. Sad.

Willson... stop bunting.

Morrow and Rosario likely aren’t available. Not sure about Cishek, Strop or Duensing but they’ve pitched the last two nights.
