Baez can stand in the box all day and not hit that Hentges hook...

Cubs were 1-12 with RISP yesterday.

Today, 0-7 with RISP first three innings already.

I love to see that ground ball double play to end the inning.

And it saddens me when the tables are turned.  No score heading to the bottom 4.

Bryant pinch hits for Bote, gets hit flush on the wrist, has to leave game. Not great turn of events.

The more the announcers gush about Duffy not k-ing that much, he starts k-ing.

Vargas' bunting stance is horse shirt.

Cubs w/ 15 baserunners today and only 1 run so far. That's painful.

Sogard is painful.

Keegan has 95 mph velo? Didn't realize he threw that hard... is that because he's coming out of the pen?

Cubs take the L, but a really nice appearance in a really tough situation for Thompson. I was impressed.

Someone refresh my memory...is Steele permanently a bullpen guy now, or is this a temporary thing?

Sharma’s piece in The Athletic suggests that Thompson is headed for some regression because he isn’t missing bats. Either way, SSS for him all around. His mound demeanor is excellent, obviously, but that’s just one thing. Remains to be seen what his role will be. Maybe will get another look as a SP.

Steele seems very likely to stay a reliever. Things started to turn around for him when converted to relief. Cubs currently have three quality bullpen lefties. Can't remember last time that was the case. Will see how long that lasts.

Ross said post-game that Bryant has a contusion/bruise. Hope that any updates don’t turn out worse.
