Really gotta hold them to one here.

[kevinisaname]

Another injury to the bullpen. Incredible!

[Nola Beery]

One of these games, I am going to ignore ESPN and MLB.com &c., and rely solely on this board to keep me informed about the game. Alcohol will be on hand.

[82brewcrew82]

Well, that doesn't look good.

[yourout]

Shelby to the DL

[edfunderburk]

This loss is on Murphy … brutal management of bullpen

Gasser should be starting over Misiorowski

This is an awful loss … & the Cubs just tied Atlanta

I love this team … but I don’t trust Murphy in the playoffs against any of the other 5 NL teams

[trwi7]

Never trust a man named Shelby, a woman named Blake or a dog named Doug.

[BarremlensTSSC]

Miller knew he was done right after that pitch.  Not great.

[Bulldogboy]

Bullpen blowout of course. Murphy man you are a genius. 

[trwi7]

I winced watching Shelby pitch so I guess we both have something in common.

[BarremlensTSSC]

Sort of feels like they're about to run up the flag on this one.

[edfunderburk]

We are once again experiencing injuries to our pitchers at the worst time 

Shelby joins Megill, Hall, Anderson … good grief

[82brewcrew82]

Broken reliever, minor league outfield and ineffective catcher.  Not matter what happens, the trade deadline should be questioned.

Honestly not really. Might be Peralta Priester and a bullpen game 

If Woodruff can stand on the mound and move his arm they're going to give him a start in the playoffs.  Just me maybe but I'm not worried about the starters.

[Bulldogboy]

People acting like this is all over but the champagne. Cubs play nobody down the stretch and we are determined to use 8 guys a night.

Symptom of overwork. See today as example. 

[jason21nl]

Not saying the injury would have been avoided but pitching Ashby another inning shortens the game.  Wouldn’t need to go to all these dudes.   Murphy is a rah rah guy.  He’s blowing his guys out

Not here. I got killed for it.

[FidoMcCokefiend]

Cubs about to walk this off while we give away a 5-1 lead. Next two games are gonna be critical 

[kevinisaname]

There. Is. Your. Dagger.

 

(or at least it feels like it).

Yeah, and if they win both a bunch of people will say the exact same thing a week later the day after a loss.  

[jason21nl]

What an atrocious pitch.  

[HarryDoyle]

The offense is going to have to win this.

[trwi7]

Ahead 1-2 and you lollipop that **** lol

[willie key]

This seems like a turning point in the season.    Remember today.   Just blowing big leads after big leads.    It’s what bad teams do
