There are actually five teams worse with RISP from a batting average standpoint. However, four of them have nowhere near the opportunities the Cubs have had. The only one with anything close to the number of at-bats who are worse are the White Sox.

Wilson is wild again. Two walks after two were out.

Cervelli does it again, 6-1. I guess Cervelli is just one of those guys the Cubs don't scout.

I think our scouting report on Cervelli needs some updating.

Wilson looked fixed in his first few outings, but he's gone back to what he was last year with the Cubs in 2 of his last 3 games.

Great minds . . . or at least greater minds than CurtOne anyway.

This ump has been awful and inconsistent today.

Any idea Wilson's pitch count when he lost it?  2 quick outs then he started walking?

They weren't especially quick outs, and there was a home run by Polanco between the first and second outs. I don't think it had anything to do with his pitch count, he just wasn't good today.

Cubs lose 6-1.

Just like last year...they play a game that gets you a little excited that maybe they're coming around, then they follow it up with a game that is a chore to watch.

I don't think Rotoworld was trying be suggestive about anything here regarding Cervelli at all . . .

Quote
Francisco Cervelli - C - Pirates

Francisco Cervelli had a three-run homer and a triple Thursday against the Cubs.

Cervelli, who was once suspended for steroids, has had his power stroke working of late; he's clubbed six homers in 77 at-bats since the beginning of the spring. That's as many as he had in 581 regular-season at-bats between 2016 and 2017.

Good chance of light rain.  Temperature around 50°.

Almora scratches because he’s sick, Happ will lead off.

It’s probably a good idea to get Happ back in there today anyway after getting two hits yesterday and hitting a homer the day before.
