Dang it, hopefully that doesn't come back to haunt us.

And here comes the bullpen to lose the game probably

 

[NoCreativity]

Been 4 days so now so we're about due for a good old fashion bullpen meltdown.

 

[BigJCy]

3rd Base...still an issue.

3rd base is going to be an issue till we go out and pay someone a lot of money

Workman is so bad.

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

Workman is so bad.

I really don’t even think he’s AAA worthy right now

 

[JP4CY]

Yikes

 

[cyatheart]

I think the Gabe Workman experiment is over at 3rd

 

[cyatheart]

I better not hear how great defensively this team is anymore.

Thing is, he’s supposed to be a good fielder. They threw him into a situation that was too big for him and it’s not gone well.

Not getting Bregman is biting us in the ass. He’s worth the money.

Pretty damn solid outside the glaring hole at third base

The Workman experiment has to be over, that's a play that any competent major league 3rd baseman makes easily.

 

[1UNI2ISU]

Let's hope Shaw figures it out quick and is back up soon.

I don't see how Workman is on the roster tomorrow. Ben Cowles MLB debut coming up.

 

[isucy86]

Workman has to be close to averaging an error per start. He really hasn't shown he's a MLB at this point.

Add to that the Cubs just wasted some scoring chances.

• 2nd & 3rd with no out in 2nd inning - no runs
• bottom of 6th and Happ gets thrown out at plate. Feel like if he goes head first, he scores.

Add to that, the consistent problem that Cub relievers can't throw strikes. IMO they rely on batters chasing out of zone too much. Put the ball in the zone, but move it around- up/down, in/out.

 

[cyfanatic13]

If you want a guy that can foul off a bunch of pitches and not get on base, Justin Turner is your guy

 

[cyatheart]

Damn Tucker is just red hot.

 

[cyfanatic13]

I'm going to seriously reconsider my Cubs fandom if we don't get Tucker locked down long term
