Brutal lineup. If they had won today and ran out a garbage Sunday lineup tomorrow, I’d understand. But this sucks and feels like punting the series.

This might be a dumb question but is there any chance Adolfo gets a cup of coffee with the Sox in September? He’s out of options right?

It will be interesting to see how Lopez handles a bit of adversity - a bad start, etc. will he rebound or will it crater the rest of his season?

Per Twitter, Bassitt is conscious and alert and they think his eye is OK. Got some stitches below the eye and they’re testing for fractures. Sounds like relatively good news at this point.

Hendriks said he was tipping his fastball against the Yankees and it’s been addressed. Hope that’s the case.

The Hendriks and Keuchel contracts - yikes.

The cubs are about to endure their second 9-game losing streak (andcounting) of the season. With hugely different rosters. Wild.

Agreed. If this was a phantom IL trip you’d think they’d do it after the field of dreams game.

That lineup fucks

We using this as the winner thread tonight?

Not even demoralizing the Cubs at Wrigley?

He did that against Texas and then picked off the baserunner. Think it was Sosa. Which isn't to say he didn't do it against Cleveland also.

Goodwin taking second on his hit led directly to scoring an extra run this inning. Love it

Bullpen tonight: 4 IP, 6K, 1H, 0BB. And none of the big names pitched. That’ll do.

Would have hated to see a replay of that

Would have pinch hit here

A Rod sucks so hard. "He does not see it!" as Engel camps under a routine fly ball

Doesn't mean much with Zavala

It's unfathomable that someone would be "losing hope" in Dylan with his stuff and improvement from last year to this year. He has a ways to go but I'm more hopeful for him now than I was at the start of the year

This camerawork is just horrendous

Aaaand he didn't

I'm in Naperville and it is looking ugly. What happens if this gets PPD - game is resumed where they left off? Likely prior to one of the games at Guaranteed Rate?

Appreciate bmags, bamadoc, et al for keeping us all updated on the young guys on the farm. I always enjoy checking in on these posts

^ That's easy to say now, but this team DESPERATELY needed 1-2 relievers. Like, desperately. There's way too much f'ing talent on this team to be hitting this poorly. Yes, injuries have been brutal but TA, Yoan, jose, all slumping recently at the same time has just been ridiculous.
