Wait, Moncada can still hit homers?!

107.5 off the bat. Almost his hardest hit ball of the year. 

Losing it.

I think Scholtens is done

Pull him 

.230/4/19 for our 17 million dollar man

I know the bullpen is abysmal but it doesn't seem fair to Scholtens leaving him in here

Well we heard over and over again how Burger was too old at 27 but Scholtens is 29.

Pitchers typically take longer to develop.

Need to trust the bullpen, Scholtens is out of gas.

I would love to gamble against Grifol.  Even when things fall his way, he always overplays the hand.  How the hell does he let Scholtens lose this game after how well he's pitched?

Every time there's a halfway decent start Pedro gets way too greedy with it

Terrible set  up from Colas...could have had a shot at second if not backpedaling.

Where the hell is Katz? You know what, probably better off in the dugout

How many times did he do this with Lynn? 5?

Not quite Luis Robert out there huh

GrifoLOL

Good job there.

Scholtens deserved better. He pitched great

That was a hanger.

That was obvious. 

Everyone in America could see that inning unraveling lol.

Grifol so inept…..so far over his head, this is 15 times easily this year he blows.

Would still take Yoan and his contract over Benintendi, 

Such a disservice by Grifol there, should have been pulled after the first runner reached.

Cubs' fans have to hate Grifol about right now.

The man pitched that well, and has a chance to take the L.

Master class on managing by Mr. Smug.

Yeah that was bad managing. Scholtens was wild and was hanging his curve. He was clearly done. He's not an ace pitcher who can gut through that. Get 6 good innings from him and run with it.
