Willson! :woop:

Joe needs to change up the lead-off spot more often, apparently.

Giving up a bit too many almost-homers there, Eddie

(in before he gives up an actual homer)

I was reading today that his HR/FB rate is ~7%, and that's before those shots today. I very much doubt that has anything to do with Butler limiting hard contact.

The Cubs will never get a hit with two outs and RISP.

Not sure why Joe is bothering to PH for Butler - the Cubs don't get hits with two outs and RISP.

Have we had a stretch this season yet where both Rizzo and Bryant could hit. It feels like at best we've had one, at worst (ie: now) we have neither.

Nats Bullpen vs Cubs with RISP is really the irresistible force vs the unmovable object

Only a bunt can break the endless struggle. And a bunch of dumb fielding decisions courtesy of the Nats.

If you asked me to pick a pitcher I least wanted to see up for the Cubs and a batter I least wanted to see up for the Nats, this is what you'd end up with.

Even Duensing doesn't want to see himself pitch.

To be fair Rizzo probably would not have been able to score on that, so we'd have bases loaded one out instead of getting the run.

If we could get this version of Javy for most of the year instead of brief flashes, I'd say trade Russell for pitching in a heartbeat, give SS to Javy and give 2B to Happ.

I'm not sure if five runs is enough of a lead to put Rondon in.

Wtf happened to Russell anyway?

He's been dealing with pain in his throwing shoulder for what sounds like the entire season, hence all the throwing errors. It's also supposedly been impacting his swing as well.

Shame LaStella got called out on a garbage third strike outside or that'd be two runs.
