Let’s get a couple two tree runs here and get back at the game

I don’t know what kind of relief pitching is going to be available at the deadline, but we need it. There’s not a guy in the pen that I consistently trust.

That 2 strike pitch call to Hoerner was amateur hour from Contreras. Turang is shifted up the middle leaving a gigantic hole on the right side of the infield and you fall for a backdoor sinker? A five year old could have told you that was going to end in a single through the huge hole between Turang and Vaughn.

Yeah.. I just don't know. I am not sure if those calls are coming from the dugout or from Contreras but he's really fastball heavy even if it's not the best offering from the pitcher on that particular outing. Patrick had no control of it. It's like Contreras is worried about hanging breaking balls more than bad fastballs. Hoerner was looking RF the entire at bat and they obliged. 

[edfunderburk]

Does Patrick have options? If so, he needs to be sent down until he can get outs again. He’s hurting the team. Surely, we have someone that can give us a few innings of relief without yielding four runs at a time. Everyone deserves a mulligan. This is several bad outings in a short span.

You cannot pitch scared. Patrick is pitching scared. Walking people is unacceptable. Pen leaking oil. It's June.

He has not been the same since pitching in Vegas. It's really messed with his head.

[BruisedCrew]

Top of the order looked like they’re packing it in for the night. 

[yourout]

I still maintain If you don't walk Brewer hitters we will struggle to score more than three runs.

He has had more Mulligan's lately than I did on the golf course and that's quite a few.

[HarryDoyle]

All of the sudden our pitchers can't throw strikes.

[yfinn6]

I love all these 3-1 counts the Brewer relievers are putting themselves in. 

[wiguy94]

Arnold needs to revamp the bullpen and very quick. This bullpen cannot get us through an 18 in 17 stretch

[yourout]

At least the A pen is going to get the night off.

Because of the B pen.

[Bulldogboy]

You gotta send Gasser down and add an arm to the pen or something. They need reinforcement and I don't trust Murphy using a short pen.

[yfinn6]

Outside of Chourio's HR on the 1st pitch, the top of the order has been terrible.

The AB quality disparity in this series has been very large especially when you factor in the pitching quality gap. You switch pitching staffs and the Cubs would be boat racing us. Their AB have been so much better all series against much tougher pitching than our hitters have faced

Who? Yoho is their top option in the minors and he can’t be trusted either .

[adambr2]

Yeah we are not coming back even against this terrible Cubs pen, 

[BruisedCrew]

We might be seeing Gasser early tomorrow.

I would not want to get into a slugging match with the Cubs right now. They have a big advantage in a slugfest.

I'd likely check in with Houston on what it would take to grab a possibly resurgent Abreu off their hands. We need another reliable middle relief arm. It's a rental and he started the year terribly  so I think he'd be cheaper than other options? Who knows. Relief markets can get squirrelly!

Gasser is starting on Monday 

[yfinn6]

Does Contreras need glasses or something?

[RWeeksFan23]

contreras is making Gary Sanchez look like a challenge savant.
