Great we play them next!

I'll tell ya what...back in my day, we used to let our starters throw 4 straight complete games.

Our reluctance to get the bullpen up just in case something bad happens baffles me. It's like Ricky thinks everything will be roses or that his relievers can get ready in 2 minutes.

We also face a lefty on Tuesday, so that's encouraging.

Agreed. A win would have been nice, but it's not easy to sweep a series, especially vs. a good team like the Cubs. All things considered, today went better than I thought. Cease definitely showed improvement. Moncada is a bit concerning. His EV is down, he always limps after he runs, and the defense has been abysmal in the past week. If Madrigal can get back, we can give Yoan 10 days off to get things right and stick Mendick at 3rd. Goins just isn't gonna cut it there.

Down to Yoan again.

Let's go Timmy. Need to go oppo vs. Jefferies.

Harder to pull the ball.

With Bummer out, Detwiler has to be the first lefty out of the pen.

I wouldn't be surprised if Darvish gets the 8th at this rate. Ross probably has no confidence in his bullpen.

It's baffling honestly. The guy hasn't given up anything yet through 11 innings and we never use him.

Cooper has to have some say in when pitchers get taken out and when the bullpen gets going right?

Jose finally missed one.

He's definitely stepped up today.

Holy shit he got out of it.

At least that wasn't a slow grounder.

I loved the Edwin signing, but you really can't keep McCann's bat on the bench right now.

Yeah, he's probably gonna opt out given how well he's playing.

Maybe Edwin knocked some sense into him last night lol

That's telling for how bad everyone else has been, cause Laz Diaz isn't exactly known to be the best HP umpire.

If Darvish doesn't start pitching better, the 2nd time through the lineup could be ugly.

And then he hits a slow grounder on the next hanger.

Really good PA for James

Darvish is off so far.

Who needs Tatis Jr when we have Abreu hitting like Babe Ruth?
