give him days off and it's not going to be at least for now not going to be an everyday thing

of him playing right field do you see the sliding catch attempt that he had i believe it was

inning seven and he went down on that left knee sliding and he got up and reached down it was

like oh maybe he's just wiping some dirt off. And then they

cut away and then they cut back to him. And he was still reaching down and touching that

area just below the knee. So I don't know. Look, maybe they're just going to just take it

slowly one day at a time, let him play some outfield, let him DH. They need his bat.

They do.

And the bat didn't really do a lot today.

He did have a single, but it was not one of the hard hit balls.

They had eight balls hard.

They had eight balls at 95 miles an hour or more.

They only had four hits on those balls.

The pirates hit 11 at 95 miles an hour or more.

One of them was Brian Reynolds' two-run Homer off Caleb Thielbar.

Good night, everybody.

That's all there was in terms of offense.

Some rallies that ended real poorly for the Cubs today.

Not a good feeling to come back when you've evened up your

record at 6 and 6 and not be able to hit Carmen Mazzinski or Majinsky,

Mazlinsky, Carmen M. and on all of the Pirates hitters. Not a good feeling to do that

on a feel-good Friday. It was a well-pitched game on both sides.
