@MLBBruceLevine His addition will hardly matter considering all the other problems this team has. I've followed baseball for 50 years and I'm wondering whether there has ever been a team with two 10-game winning streaks and a 10-game losing streak in the same season, let alone before June 1.

@writingump Easy. Nate Colbert. Johnny Grubb. Bill Almon. I could go on and on.

[David Wilhelm @DavidMWilhelm]

@MLBBruceLevine It's admirable what the team has done lately with its roster compromised by key injuries.

[David Wilhelm @DavidMWilhelm]

@Cubs Brutal loss. Nothing clicking.

@CJ_Feher @dgoold Ownership was probably hesitant to pull the trigger on Mo since it was that same ownership that agreed to give him the leadership reins.

@JWerner247 A great team takes a 33-10 lead and puts the hammer down. This obviously isn't a great team. So many poor moments on defense. And then to call a timeout and let a guy drive 80 feet or more for a layup unacceptable. Worst loss of season.

[David Wilhelm @DavidMWilhelm]

@srrichey Dreadful performance by the Illini. After a timeout, a guy catches and dribbles 75 feet for the game-winner. Brutal loss.

@Perry_smitzh Skirt is different.

@jonmorosi Bregman is almost 32. He's a player in decline. Sign Bellinger and make Shaw the everyday third baseman.

@silentblossom_ Nope.

@Crazymoments01 So fake.

@StratOMatic Michael Busch. Josh Naylor.

[David Wilhelm @DavidMWilhelm]

@StratOMatic How about Willy Adames, Michael Busch, Josh Naylor and Jackson Chourio?

@AlbertBreer Can't sympathize for Erin. So many other people also work holidays, weekends and evenings, missing family occasions all the time, and still struggle to get by. Erin is richly compensated and should not grumble.

@CubsZone I've seen enough of him. Prone to the home-run ball. Leaves too many pitches over the heart of the plate.

@MLBBruceLevine @Sut_40 Still hard for me to believe Ryno is gone.
