The ump has been pretty good today but Almora's at bat was shameful.

Two more chances missed after Bryant reaches on an infield single and steals 2nd.

1-16 w/ RISP

At least the 16 is somewhat encouraging.

Wilson now in and I believe only Montgomery is left in the pen.

Scratch that. Hancock and Morrow also left.

Leadoff hit for the Reds.

Why does this have all the makings of a 1-run loss in a game they should've put away an hour ago, the night after a blowout win? It has that deja vu feeling.

Why did Joe burn through Duensing (2 batters) and Cishek (1 batter) so fast? Looks like he’s found his guy who doesn’t have it today.

Saving them for the second game?

Well let’s win the first before worrying about the second. Just stupid not to bring Cishek back out this inning.

Bases loaded walk to Billy Hamilton loses the game.

Underachievers all of them.

But at least they are tops in something.

FYI: 1-16 is the worst any team has batted with RISP in a game this season (min. 15 AB)

Just a terrible game. Maddon is not good at managing a bullpen. Burns Strop, Duensing, and Cishek to get 6 very easy outs, then has no backup plan to the guy who has walked about a batter an inning since the Cubs got him.
