We "should" win the first two and then one of the last two.

We'll see.

Guys like Smyly and Hendricks are usually Padre killers....frustrating

Machado is back and starting … have not seen who was taken off the 26 man.

Also, Rivas (up from AAA) is in the clubhouse … LHH 1B so? However Cronenworth, Carpenter, Grisham, and Odor are also in the line-up. That is the full LHH complement without an apparent injury. So, anyone’s guess what is up.

Jeff Sanders is saying that it looks like Azocar is heading to AAA in the Rivas move (40 man roster move still needed) but no word yet on the move to handle Machado.

Maybe a DFA (Cruz?) takes care of both the 26 man and 40 man needed? Takes some time for the paperwork to be official on both the Rivas add and the DFA (it that is it).

Cruz to IL … Campusano to 60 day IL … Azocar to EP

Machado and Rivas to the 26 man.

Bit surprised on Rivas as a LHH 1B vs maybe someone who is more an OF or middle INF … and a RHH.

Maybe it's opt out related with Rivas. Yesterday was a popular date for minor league opt outs. They may have just told him they would add him at the start of the home stand to keep him around.

Only 1-0 in the 5th but man…..the offense has been so frustrating to watch tonight.

Everyone else has pounded Taillon…..not us.

edit: now 2-0

🙄

Taillon and the entire Cubs bullpen have not been able to get anyone out….like all year.

How can Xander/Soto/Tatis/Machado/Cronenworth not be able to hit them?

We’re in the 8th…we’ve had 4 baserunners.

Can we not hit two games in a row?

Someone talk me off the ledge….are we going to come around offensively?

Great situational hitting there by Bogaerts in the 8th with 2 on and none out.

At least he smoked that ball.. the next 4 guys Nando (8th).. Soto/Manny and Crone couldn't even hit a ball SO SO SO SO... ill give Manny a pass (1st game back and no rehab assigment) actually hit a ball real hard earlier in the game and in the ninth hit an absolute rocket foul.. a hanger he usually sits back on and pulls down the line when he is dialed in... But while Manny gets a pass.. Tatis /Soto and Crone dont... Bo Mel needs to play more Team Ball vs letting these Stars "try to win it with one blow".. the 8th 1st and 2nd.. Why not have Xander bunt "No one is expecting it" or even just the gesture of a bunt.. brings in Wisdom and then that blast instead of a double play is a hit to left.. Also why not double steal with Kim and Grish right there to avoid the double play.. if one gets thrown out one still in scoring positions..Cubs had lost their challenge too.. I see so many little errors in game managing with this team it's scary..
