Happy pineapple day!

[homer]

Cubs are gonna send Chafin back to the California Penal League pretty soon

[pacopete4]

When rested, Pina is very good. What a catching duo!

[CheezWizHed]

Why yes, I will take some pineapple on my deep dish pizza!

[CheezWizHed]

Three hits for Huira... I don't dare hope.

[magnoliacrew]

Woohoo!!! Keston with three hits!!!

[adambr2]

JBJ can have a day off tomorrow. Good grief.

 

I wish we had won the Justin Turner sweepstakes instead.

Three hits for Huira... I don't dare hope.

Happy for Hiura, that has to feel great for him.

[magnoliacrew]

Can we start Manny in right field or something like that if Avi is still hurt? High HR rate.

[umphrey]

Bullpen walking guys with a lead again, really frustrating

[markedman5]

Way to go JP!

[brewers888]

J.P. has been a really solid find for this team.

The infield needed DP practice. Not sure if that should be blue or not...

[BrewCrewForever]

Feel like JBJ and Shaw both have been grinding and could use a day.

[Eye Black]

Same here, but I think the odds were unfortunately along the lines of hoping Ed McMahon and the Publishers Clearing House folks would be knocking on the door.

[magnoliacrew]

Am I the only one who wants to see Woodruff vs Tepera again?

[Eye Black]

Nothing to show for it there, but Wong has certainly gotten in some good swings since coming back.

[magnoliacrew]

Oh well

[Eye Black]

Big spot for Devin Williams. Good to see him back in “high leverage”, hopefully he’s right.

[adambr2]

That's more like the Corey Ray I'm expecting.

[CheezWizHed]

Dillard needs a new look... the beard and intense eyes gives me a creepy uni-bomber vibe.

[adambr2]

Feel like JBJ and Shaw both have been grinding and could use a day.

 

Agreed, unfortunately we're walking dead as it is. If you had told me on Opening Day that Billy McKinney would have been getting numerous starts and Corey Ray would be getting meaningful ABs in by the last week of April I would have been fairly alarmed.

[Eye Black]

Those air benders to Bryant were so nasty... Mercy.

[yourout]

I know it's an extremely small sample size but Corey Ray looks like he has mechanical issues. Odd swing with front shoulder flying open.

Not sure who's in charge of overseeing hitter development in the minors but every guy that comes through the pipeline seems to have mechanical issues.

[magnoliacrew]

Big spot for Devin Williams. Good to see him back in “high leverage”, hopefully he’s right.

 

This outing seems consequential for the rest of the season. A tone thing.
