You're asking them to do something they've proven they can't do. We've only ever seen them have success with a patchwork, hope for the best strategy, so they might as well go back to that until Jerry dies and we hopefully turn into the Dodgers lite with the next owner.

This is almost certainly true, and it does give Hahn some leeway. But not much. He didn't have to sign garbage with that money, and the minor leagues are AWFUL under him. Some league average replacement pieces would've gone a long way towards stabilizing the team.

No idea why any of you trust this organization to tank again. They definitively proved they can't do it. It sucks, but they're better off keeping their best, long-term controlled players and filling in the blanks with lightning in the bottle attempts and mid level free agents. Their drafting strategy seems to be improving, but they still need to revamp their player development. Luckily that can happen irrespective of how good or bad the MLB team is.

Kelly lookin not so sharp

You’re not getting anything for Lance Lynn.

I’d rather take the hot streak from Remillard right now with decent defense. Burger is hitting under .200 for 2 months.

That might’ve been off the top of wall and not gone, but still. Great play.

What is with this team and giving up homers

Actually, from what we've seen all year... hit it to anyone except Robert and Moncada if he's not in a wheelchair

Cubs game plan: hit it to 2B

Comedy of errors

Rest of the team can't hit anyway, so might as well play Colas in right for his defense and see if he can figure anything out at the plate.

They had more than enough chances to score a bunch of runs. Can’t have half the lineup hitting .200 or below and expect to win.

Just too many big holes in this lineup

Giving up a double with 2 strikes on Vazquez is hard to do

Colas took “be more patient” a little too literally…

Wow an actual sac fly and not a dribbler or a strikeout

BAH he had a pitch to hammer and was out in front.

TA getting curved to death

Jake back to swinging at balls and taking strikes

Wolkow is 17 and hit most of these balls over 100 mph, including one at 109.9, with a wood bat. Nice short swing, too. He’s gonna be a monster if he can work out the swing and miss issues.

Gio ain’t got it tonight

So he's a no-bat DH then? Wonder who can use one of those...

Don't need to help the pitcher that much. Grandal is bad enough on his own right now.

This is the reverse score that I expected
