    Cubs fall behind on a Freese oppo homer in the 2nd. 1-0. Arrieta's pitch was right down the middle. Cubs leaving a bunch of men on base thru 2 innings to boot.

      I understand he hits far better than most pitchers but was still a curious decision to not bunt the runners over.

          Arrieta throwing BP in Pittsburgh. 2 homers in the 2nd and very nearly a 3rd. He's got no idea where his pitches are going right now.

            Yeah, I agree. Hindsight helps after seeing Arrieta was batting .306 and the way Liriano was so wild after hitting back-to-back batters, but I think giving your lead off man a shot at a 2-RBI single was the way to go there.

            EDIT: And by lead off man, I really do mean lead off man (Zobrist) since Joe Maddon is not batting the pitcher 8th tonight.

              Yea, and trust me as a former pitcher I love when managers let their pitchers hit and wish they would do it more often but with Zobrist, a great contact guy, on deck that wasn't the place to do it.

                Miguel Montero with a timely homer off Nicasio to tie it up at 3.

                  Needing a shutdown inning after tying it up then going ahead with Rizzo's homer, the Cubs are finding more ways to lose..

                    Yeah I have no words for what I'm watching anymore. This looks nothing like the team that was playing well. Everything sucks right now. Very frustrating.

                      Cubs just need the break so bad. Give the Starters/Pen some rest and get Fowler back. This is annoying.

                        Tonight, Carlos Correa tied Adam Everett for the Astros all-time lead in homers by a shortstop with 35. Something tells me Correa is going to bury that record. [emoji4]

                          Take the wins against the Reds off the Cubs schedule..........they are 1-14 against teams not named Cincinnati.

                              Upton and Myers continue their great seasons in the first.
