Last night turned out to be everything I hoped would not happen: Another wasted pitching performance due to a lack of offense. Meanwhile, Eloy Jiménez made the most of his opportunity to take advantage of the Cubs’ flailing bullpen. Pedro Strop missed his spot by about 15 inches and Jiménez tattooed a fastball. There’s your ballgame, kids.
THIS IS WHAT YOU'RE MISSING, @Cubs.
