Taillon was throwing BP tonight
just amazing how much the outfield has changed since then
He loves giving up the home run ball

Maton is pretty much unusable at this point.
This pitching is getting to be a serious problem.

Too bad he’s signed for two years at like $14.5 mil.
The injuries in the pen have caught up with them. They've navigated it as well as possible, but when the league continues to see the same AAA caliber arms, it catches up. Outside of Palencia, there's not a major league arm on the roster.
Here's my expert analysis:
BOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Recently, they have been remarkedly bad with RISP.

I think everything has been mostly bad over the past couple of weeks.

It doesn't help when they are giving up 8-9 runs a game.
Here are the RISP stats prior to yesterday's 0 for 9. Two guys stand out, and Counsell insists on batting them fourth and fifth. Can't gripe about Swanson at .182 I guess - that's about what he is hitting overall.

Before this last 3 terrible game stretch, however, the pitching has held up despite the injuries.
RISP average was even subpar during some of the streak.
Seiya has to be guessing a lot. He takes pitches in the dead center of the zone.
Cubs are going to get swept out of first place by the Brewers. May end up in 3rd by the weekend.
I don't mind today's outcome. Misiorowski is a flipping stud. No way around that. He has a chance to throw a no hitter every night out.
Sunday vs the Sox and yesterday vs Milwaukee were unacceptable performances from both the staff and the lineup.
On Saturday and today, they just got bested by two pitchers who will be in the Cy Young discussion.
Facing deGrom, Sale, Davis and now Mis, in 4 of the last 6, is rough.
