Cubs 2017 Let's Win Two!

[Shooter]

Jesus fucking Christ

That would have been a very bad start to the second half.

So is Joe waiting for Grimm to actually give away the lead before he pulls him, or what?

For helping to enable the Baltimore comeback *and* because the Cubs nearly emptied the pen, I'd expect Grimm to be going back to Des Moines again.

Very disappointed they can't bring Floro back yet.

That was a shitshow from the fifth onwards, but Grimm looked terrified from the moment he took the mound.  He might be done, which would be a shame, but if he's done, he needs to be done somewhere else.

Somebody's going to need to go to Iowa when Hendricks returns this weekend, so it might as well be Grimm. Butler's 20-25 pitch scoreless innings are a lot less problematic when you only need two of them at a time.

Zack Godley is a weirdo.

Early pull for Andrew Chafin -- he had some business to attend to.

(Seriously, that mustache makes him look like one of Uncle Jack's boys.)

Well then.

[SKO]

Well then.

Thank god they managed not to give the entire game away yesterday. Splitting at home vs this Reds team is embarrassing enough.

Feels like they kind of have to sweep them next week to make up for it.  In my "60% win rate%" model, I had them going 5-2 over these 2 series.

Yea but did your model account for the new found confidence Victor Caratini has after his 3 pitch strike out against Iglesias that may have cost them Tuesday night's game? That's gotta be worth a win or two going forward.

Maybe we should uhh...table this discussion for a bit.

Joe's one of those types who only likes the chase, which is why he puts Justin Fucking Grimm into a tied slugfest to shit all over it.

Grimm's allowed 11 fucking homers as a reliever who has spent half the year in Iowa. Ridiculous.
