[HarryDoyle]

Could be time to think about using their long relievers now. Preister sat for quite a while.

Please, Joey... do something good.

Made contact.

0-15 streak hitting.

[adambr2]

Well, Joey saw 5 pitches and made contact. It’s his best AB tonight.

[Bulldogboy]

Baseball is tough mentally. I wonder if Murphy is hurting Ortiz or he's just broken beyond repair.

Joey is pretty much bad bad at this point. Turang having an atrocious game. Yeesh. 

And yet we are leading 5-1 … what a team!

[HarryDoyle]

If this team is serious about making a deep run, Ortiz cannot be an every day player if he continues this poor play.

Caleb Durbin and Isaac Collins I guarantee are the type of players that make Cub fans pull their hair out.

Both are winning players.  As good as Collins is in the OF, he also has played second.  I wonder if Arnold would consider getting an OF, moving Collins to second and seeing Turang at SS.  Could be more palatable than getting into a bidding war and overpaying for Suarez who statistically seems like he’s ready for regression as his pace is out of whack to his stats over a huge sample size.  

[kevinisaname]

He didn't really even hang that one, but it was down the middle. Maybe not the best 0-1 pitch.

[kevinisaname]

That should have been a strike!

Ortiz has struggled for 2/3 of the season … Can he flip a switch & begin to contribute in the final 1/3 of the season? Surely hope so … but I prefer for us to get a replacement. I wonder what Kiner-Falefa would cost us?

[Austin Tatious]

The way Murphy regularly glares right through Ortiz, I bet he’s not following the game plan and not following the approach he’s being schooled on.  

[kevinisaname]

That curveball is not working out tonight.

[adambr2]

So if Contreras had caught that, wouldn’t it have been strike 3?

[HarryDoyle]

The perils of a pitcher sitting for almost a half hour.

[Bulldogboy]

Go get him

[jason21nl]

Some day they will learn pitchers that sit for a long time don’t have the same stuff

[adambr2]

Priester has had worse outings, but this has been far from his best. 

[kevinisaname]

Yeah, it's time to take Priester out. Unfortunately, Ashby just started throwing.

[HarryDoyle]

Should've had Ashby start the inning.

[Brewluver]

"Let's Go Cubbies"

Can't we throw these people out, why do we even let them in our stadium !!

[jason21nl]

This should have been an easy call.  Ashby should have started the inning

That Turang AB may come back to bite us. Gotta beat the cubs with 7-8 runs. Bases loaded 3-0 and he strikes out in horrible fashion. More runs looking very necessary right now.

[Bulldogboy]

This is why you really can't afford an auto out in the lineup. Every game you need to keep adding runs. Giving away 4 of your 27 outs is unacceptable 

[kevinisaname]

That. was. close. Priester is missing badly this inning.

This site is a bunch of whiners lmao
