It looked like the umpire was actually going to ring Grandal until that ball popped away.

Bad take. It’s lopsided just with Eloy in the deal. Quintana has been terrible for the Cubs

And as bad as Cease has been, this is only his 26th start.  He’s still effectively a rookie.

Jose said it best that the team took the foot off the gas after clinching a playoff spot. Sad because that shouldn’t have been just “the goal” this season. The manager says it’s “just baseball” and now the team looks like it couldn’t beat a AAA team. This team needs someone to light a fire under their asses again and Ricky needs fired for not ever doing it.

Ricky is career loser as a manager.  He's in unchartered waters right now and its really showing.

You can't teach velocity. But somebody's gotta teach him control and a sinker. 

Not that it matters but Moustakas hit a homer, 2-1 Reds top 4.

Thank you for the Arnie Munoz reference. I'll never forget that game in Montreal!

But Uribe had the game of his career that day. 

Another amazing at bat for EE. What a disgrace of a year for him.

great ab there EE... *yikes*

They almost pulled off that comeback. It was an entertaining game to say the least.

Edwin should have gotten tossed. 

It’s bad when Yolmer and Engel have had the best at bats of the week.

They really need to make a chance from Cooper unfortunately

Ironically Everett did damage...against the Sox

Mazara donger?

 

Edit**  Yep, just like I said, a donger right to first.

More 30+ year old free agents please preferably from the NL for 2021.

Nah, he's just charting his way back to familiar waters the best way he knows how.

On the bright side, our draft pick slot has really improved this week

Mazara needs to move forward toward the pitcher in the box. 

Nomar gets a hanger and grounds weakly for the 300th time

Nomar got a hanging middle/middle slider and pounded it into the ground...

Rick Hahn: “Dont worry guys. Historically EE is very slow until the first week of October, then he really heats up.”

Yea, Ricky sucks but not because he didn't call for a bunt in the 3rd inning down by 4. 

The way the offense has crapped on itself lately, the thought was you take any run you can. Down 5-0 now so point is mute.
