Hill to the plate
I'm a Cubs FANATIC. They are my team, through thick and thin. When they play over their heads, and when they play under the gutter. When they win the division, and then get swept in the division series. When they get no-hitters and when they blow no-hitters. And some day, when they go all the way and get those rings. This is the kind of fan I am.
Bunt
Dome to second, Hill out at first. One out, runner at second.
Blanco, then Miles.

Is it possible that Von Joshua is already making a difference?
It seems unlikely in such a short amount of time, but successful bunts, opposite field hits, etc, etc. You can time the offensive reurgence with his arrival.

Say this much for big league baseball - it is beyond question the greatest conversation piece ever invented in America. ~Bruce Catton
so
there’s a place for backup players in the MLB. They’re doing their jobs.
I'm a Cubs FANATIC. They are my team, through thick and thin. When they play over their heads, and when they play under the gutter. When they win the division, and then get swept in the division series. When they get no-hitters and when they blow no-hitters. And some day, when they go all the way and get those rings. This is the kind of fan I am.

Way too many Ks looking
Whatever happened to protecting the plate with two strikes?

Hill and Fontenot
have each struck out twice looking on the backdoor slider. Frustrating.
Glad we have Guzman going though.
In the bottom of this inning
can we please pitch hit Fox for Miles

Like to see Blanco hustling out there after that fly ball
kids got great range and hustles. I like him. Cant hit but could be a keeper as a middle infield defensive replacement
I'm pretty sure
the hitting can be fixed.
Considering Von Joshua is our hitting coach. He should work with him a little more.

2 down
Guzman pitching excellent. Be careful with Peralta, keep it away from him low.
1-2 on Peralta

Righty Lefty logic aside
Why not pinch for Hill or Blanco in the 10th?
