Chatwood's 5 BBs in 6 IP represent an improvement in walk rate...

Cubs have been terrible with runners on third with less than 2 outs tonight. That's a multi-year theme for them.

Heyward with 3 hits tonight, and the 4th AB was a line out. He's as locked in as he's been as a Cub.

Almora, on the other hand, has been bad.

 Vasquez does that to people.

Cubs lose again.

This is not a good team, and it's not helping that Bryant, Rizzo, and Baez are all in slumps.

The least amount of runs the Cubs have given up in a loss is 4 runs.

Cubs starters have a 6.52 ERA and a 7.63 RA/9. They are averaging 4 1/3 IP per start. The pitching sucks.

Bullpen up to 15.2 scoreless innings.

I truly expected our SP to be good and our offense and bullpen to suck but what do I know?

Almora, on the other hand, has been bad.

For his whole career against RHP.

Baez isn't especially in a slump - he has 4 HRs and his OPS is in the mid 800's.  But it only made sense we weren't going to sustain the offensive output we had for the first week.

Almora .742 vs righties this year. .192 vs lefties.

Almora was great against RHP six years ago in low A ball. He's going to break out any day now.

The Cubs are moving the start time of tonight's game up by 30 minutes to try to beat the rain.

Might be worth trying that on days Hendricks starts, only don't tell the opposition.
