Leathersich could be a real weapon out of the bullpen if he gets going right. Huge k rate.

Nice pitching matchup..

Hopefully Lester is on and cubs can get a couple off Archer..

Funny that today you get both team top starters and tomorrow you get their worse..

Team needs a sweep, and a winning home stand going into break..

Be sweet if Archer next start is with the Cubs

So much for a sweep and getting off to a good start on home stand...

Good thing Maddon switched Lester and Lackey so Lester can get an extra start...

Nothing clicking for this team this year...

Gotta love giving up a first ever/RBI hit to Archer.

This teams offense has been so bad this year, I don't see them catching up.

They haven't shown us anything to think otherwise. I feel they're worse than their record shows.

LOL @ 32 RBI's for Bryant.

Edit: 33, sorry.

I've come to a conclusion that this team severely misses Ross and Fowler in that dugout..

You can see there no life/energy in this team anymore..

Their very tight , down and just have the look of lost confidence on the field..

They have nobody keeping them loose like Fowler did or pick them up and give them a boost like Ross did..

Maddon just gives excuses and goes with flow, and the vets like Lester Lackey Zobrist just seem to keep to themselves...

I see a bunch of young guys going through a rough season for first time after 2 very good seasons and they don't know how to recover and it seems like their not getting much help/advice from the elders on team or manager to loosen them up..

The Cubs feed is blacked out here so I'm forced to watch the Rays. They're ragging on the fans for cheering at pop outs and foul balls.

"It's really amateur hour here today."


Let's go Happ!

Not surprising. High pressure situation, rookie up to bat. Strikeout.

Doubt they trade Archer now...

Wow! What a meltdown that was! Guys on first and second with nobody out and the next three batters ALL STRIKEOUT! This is this teams major problem! This is why they don't lead their division! This is why they have not been good this year! Ugh!!!

Cubs are 2.5 games out today, don't be surprise if their at least 5 out going into the break...

I don't care if he does have a strong arm and quick release.

When your catcher can't frame, can't block balls in the dirt, and has 11 fucking errors by the Fourth of July, he is killing you!

Not to mention the team ERA skyrocketed when he took over.

Eleven!!

Good lord.

Why make contact and move runners along when you can try for a highlight?!

Selfish, foolish, childish nonsense.

Just shorten up once in a while.
