IST: Chicago Cubs (3-2) hosting Cincinnati Reds (4-2)

[Bear Pride]

Yea... im hoping as we get a little further into the season we can start having that confidence in the bullpen to be able to say a lead going into the 7th or 8th inning is a lock for a win...

Losing Grimm hurts. :yep: But I still wonder where Turner fits in? But the Cubs strength right now is their pen, and their bats late! I think the Cubs are going to win ugly for a month or two, and then we can talk about what's gonna be, imo!

Good time for Alcantara to get his first hit and take the lead this inning

Cub's are showing some mettle. That's new and welcome.

Must be tomorrow when Arrieta on the mound

Cog has been a nice pick up.

 

[justaChifan]

If the Cubs can get 1 back, they have done the job.........as I typed Coghlan did it

I am. Just frustrating. ..

Hoping for a good overall game tonight with him on mound and pick up another win...

I sort of expected a slow start. As they said on the broadcast he didn't have a full ST. Hopefully he hits his stride.

 

[chibears55]

Need the bullpen to shut them down and hope for another dramatic comeback

 

[justaChifan]

Resilience is important. Let's not go down the Schlitter now.

I wish Dave McKay was still on our staff. I think he would do some great work with Soler.

 

[chibears55]

Come on lets put up a crooked number this inning

 

[chibears55]

Wow.. i blinked and the inning was over..

Bottom of order been useless tonight

 

[justaChifan]

Wrigley looks dead, why couldn't they have kept the Ernie bleacher coverings up?

 

[chibears55]

Wondering if Alcantara keeps struggling and Russell keeps hitting how long b4 they make that switch. ..

Anyone know when Baez suppose to return to Iowa

Guessing cause its a hassle to take down to work and up for games

Need to do something this inning to avoid Chapman in 9th
