I was driving home during the 8 run inning. Safe to say I should just keep driving during games.

They should just put Keuchel on the IL for sucking. Let Lopez start in his place.

Keuchel is getting near Arrieta territory of bad these last few starts.

Get Keuchel out of the rotation.

Conforto is a good buy-low candidate to give a prove-it 1 year deal to. I bet the Mets will offer him the QO though. His xwOBA is actually .357, much more in line with his career numbers.

I'm guessing Grandal will probably catch tonight since Keuchel is on the mound? It'll be interesting to see if Dallas pitches better with Grandal behind the plate again.

He said he was yanking his fastball, which was one of his biggest issues with the Cubs in 19 and 20. Notice how his curve didn't break like a slider yesterday? We can talk about psychology all we want, but his mechanics were out of whack before he fixed them between his outings in Toronto.

Larry Nance would have been a nice fit on this team, but we really need the draft picks.

lol this is actually kinda funny

I'll take 7-7. We just needed to look competent during this stretch and I'd say we were despite how grueling and frustrating some of the losses were.

Thank god we hung on. Kimbrel needs to close from now on.

Kimbrel's much more around the zone with his curve so far.

He's so good at hitting the inside pitch.

That ball almost carried Leury into LF

Ok that's nasty

Kimbrel throwing 97 on the first pitch is a good sign.

Let's see just how important closing games is for Kimbrel.

We didn't have Bummer for most of the year. Marshall, Heuer, Foster, and Colome were nails for the majority of the year.

The bullpen last year didn't blow many games late either.

Toronto fans deserved that after cheering the ump getting hit.

Much needed insurance from Eloy!

Against 3 all stars.

We didn't blow a game in the 8th, it's a miracle.

Cesar is saving us on defense today.

Seby keeps tapping the ground on sliders and I wonder if the hitters can hear that. He needs to do it on some fastballs to keep the hitters guessing.
