Bryant and Baez only guys to be able to get ball into play first time through lineup.  A lot of guys taking a lot of fastballs, it seemed.  Might look different 2nd/3rd time through the lineup. 

Chatwood has kind of a whacky wild delivery.  Not surprising he's always walked so many, and probably isn't going to pitch very deep very often.

Chatwood pitching himself into another jam. He walks Billy Hamilton.

Chatwood gets a K to get out of 2nd+3rd inning.  His stuff looks VERY good, although he looks to have no control. 

He threw a fastball for a strike to the last batter, then the guy chased on two bad balls.

Two innings. Two flirts with disaster. Two escapes. Chatwood has nice stuff, if he can ever figure out where it's going.

Another fastball called third strike looking. The Cubs are going to set a record.

Through 7 outs, Mahle has set a new career high in Ks. Granted, this is only his 5th career start...but still, 6 Ks through 7 outs is bad.

Rizzo hit it good but out. Cubs have now gone 12 innings scoreless in a row.

There are few things more boring than watching the current Cubs batting.

What happened to the team in 2015 that constantly put pressure on pitchers? It's like these guys all went to the Dave Kingman school of offense 2 winters ago.

Chatwood is definitely Clement all over again.

I’m not saying that’s a bad thing...it is what it is...

Yeah, Russell ripped that one. 

Cubs definitely changed approach 2nd time through.  First time, seemed everybody was taking and would take a fastball, sometimes down the middle.  A lot more first-pitch swinging now.

Does Suarez only kill the Cubs? IT seems we can't get this guy out. Oh and Happ played that ball about as poorly as can be done. Should have been a double.

Reds score by making contact with a guy at third and less than 2 outs. What a concept!
