JD shocked that the lefty is already ready to pitch, while they leave the righty in.

I have liked Almora since he came up, and kept wanting to see him get more playing time, expecting the bat would be good enough.
No more.
He is literally bottom 5 in all of baseball over the last 162 games and then some. WRC+ of 62

Against MadBum.
We started 7-1 after the break, and yet teams like StL and SF have records almost as good as we do. Unreal.
Need a boost.

Well if this game doesn’t step up the urgency to get a
Trade or 2 done i don’t know what game will... maybe the 8th game of this road trip when they are sitting at 1-6 with 4 losses squarely on the pen and the other 2 via shit offense. Mad Bum tomorrow will be frustrating since he’s been pitching really good lately and the cubs don’t hit lefties. Cards just 1 back in the loss column and they are actually beating teams on the road that they should

I think if Strop turned his hat 180 ala Mitch he would get his mojo back. That angle is just wrong.

Well people don’t usually complain after a win dip shit but this team can’t win on the road and Strop (aka Nope) has blown 3 leads in the 8th inning since the Friday after the all star break, 10 days ago. Maddon deserves the same amount of blame for continuing to have Strop set up...kintzler or cishek need to have the 8th until they get them a true late inning, hard throwing set up man that can miss bats in high leverage situations

You and your "analysis" of the "future" of the team is exclusively after team losses. You probably didn't even watch the game tonight, followed it from your home, saw the score, and now are posting here.
If the team always sucks and is going to lose, you offer no insight.

Yeah I don’t have Chicago’s WGN down here in Tennessee. WGN doesn’t show cubs games anymore here like they use to in the 90’s and early 2000’s when you could watch 120
Plus games a year. I
Do follow them every game whether they are on tv or not. Basically it has to be on MLB network or fox sports (playing the reds or Braves) or espn for me to see them on TV and they do
Suck on the road and I was reading on another cubs message board that one poster said this has the feel of a
2-7 or 3-6 road trip and I said that is 100 percent correct. Im
Sure they will lose all 3 series. Tonight’s game was big to start the road
Trip off right and to have a good chance to win this first series and it was a total let down after jumping out 3-0 in the 4th but now I’m thinking they will
Lose tomorrow to Mad
Bum 3-1 and possibly win on Wednesday

Cubs were ahead by 2 runs in the 8th inning over an obviously inferior team. And they lost. Make all the excuses you want. This does not bode well. Simple hiccup? Maybe. But it seems to me the Cubs need to take advantage of the bottom tier of teams. Is that happening?

If Cubs make the playoffs, it will mark the first in MLB history that a team went on to make the playoffs after blowing at least one 8th inning lead.
