Just as bad as the Quintana trade was for the Cubs. Shame was that we did not need another closer and gave two young good major leaguers for him, and what we needed was an outfielder instead.

Can we get Madrigal and Heuer back? Is there any clause on the deal that would allows to do that? Wishful thinking.

Kike is a very good fastball hitter. He can’t hit the breaking ball. Don’t we have a scouting report.?

Robert pulled a Goodwin unfortunately.

Both Jose and Eloy are in a rut in the middle of our line up. Robert and Grandal are our most dangerous and reliable hitters now.

Great news. It has to be better than Wright.

That’s TLR for you. If we lose two in a row with Wright closing he should be fired. Yes, I know he won’t but it would be managerial malpractice.

Dodged another bullet with Ruizin the dreaded 8th. But now Wright is warming up for the 9 th.. Where is Tepera and Bummer?

And no one is warming up. Amazingly bad.

Ruiz still in the 8 th pitching to a lefty. We are fucked. Where is Bummer?

Should have been given a take sign on the first pitch, after 4 balls to previous hitter.

He was right. Leury has been swinging away since he got that homer this weekend. He needs to get back to his usual slapping self.

Dodged a bullet with Ruiz. Now we need to survive the dreaded 8 th.

He is not Javy Baez for sure.

And took a breaking pitch right down the middle for a K.

Eloy needs to be removed from cleanup spot. Why did they give him the green light 3-0? The guy is in a funk.

It would have been easier to win the game last night. First and third and no one out in the 10th and zilch. Hope we can win today and not waste Lynn’seffort.

He just wants to convert himself into a slugger overnight, but he is just a slap hitter.

Looks like he has sore knees.

Was having an enjoyable game, without Beckham, Goodwin or Mendick, until they got to Sox Math which is quite tedious.

Great news!

We always seem to hit the fly balls when there is no one at 3 rd with less than 2 outs.

Seby brain fart. That was going foul. Cant get Iglesias out at first anyway. Fortunately, only cost a handful of pitches more for Lynn.

Particularly with a righty on the mound.

Particularly with Grandal on deck, he should be getting something to hit in the sequence. He is the most protected guy in the lineup.
