    Just need Diaz to find his way asap.
    I wouldn't worry about Blanco. There was no lather in his arms. Too cold.

    Great job by the bullpen today, and the bats finally coming to life.

    29 pitches for Hader is about twentytoomany.
    Set up guy, not a closer.

    8 hits and 2 walks in 18 AB's since the Met's series. He's been pretty darn good.

    With a Yordan homer. Now Diaz needs to get his act together. He's been sucking at the plate. Let's move him down to the 8th spot until he pulls his head out of his ass.

    Agreed! Let's trade the Cubs back Cam and Paredes and get Pressly back.

    Diaz is a natural hitter. He will find his way.

    He pitched 2 innings… and in the mickey-mouse era, when you’re a road team and you have a closer that can keep the game tied for the 9th AND be able to pitch the 10th if you take the lead in extras (which you have to do when you’re the road team to have a chance), that’s entirely worth his salary.

    Or you could be like the Twins who brought their closer in today… for the 8th inning alone.

    His problem is he's swinging at stuff that is unhittable. This is the year when he needs to learn how to be more disciplined at the plate. He's good but he isn't Altuve.

    Shout out Chas for the bunt.

    Shout out Montero for the nice 2 inning outing.
