Cubs vs. Reds: Game 4 Thread

Chicago Cubs (42-32) @ Cincinnati Reds (31-45)

Mike Montgomery (2-2, 3.11) vs. Sal Romano (4-7, 5.18)

Series finale. Cubs hoping to avoid sweep. Bryant out with sore left shoulder. Montgomery starting on mound. He'll look to change theme of series for Cubs, which has been inept pitching.

E1 — Great defense bails out Montgomery in 1st. 2nd out comes with men on 1B & 2B with Votto getting caught in a pickle on a pickoff play. 3rd out comes when Happ makes great diving catch at 3B. Happ's starting in place of Bryant today.

E1 || Cubs 0, Reds 0

Almora's basically creating one long audition tape for the Golden Glove committee. Goes to the ground for absolutely no reason while making a running catch in CF. But you got to appreciate how much fun he has out there.

M3 — Bad coaching decision. 3B coach Butterfield sends Almora on a Baez double, & he gets thrown out with ease at home on relay throw from 3B to end inning. Dumb move to send him with 2 outs in a 0-0 game this early. Bad coaching decisions have plagued this series for Chicago.

M3 || Cubs 0, Reds 0

T5 — The J-Hey Kid gets the Cubs on the board. Two-run double followed by one-run single from Baez to score Heyward. Cubs getting to Romano.

T5 — 2-out rally continues for Cubs. Rizzo crushes 2-run bomb to break out of 0-12 slump in series.

T5 || Cubs 5, Reds 0

Can't recall ever seeing a 4-game series where pitching changes negatively affected a team like this one. The Cubs have essentially been hurt by taking out their starter in every game this series. And sooooooo many big innings for the Reds. They've seemed to either be dormant at the plate or absolutely on fire.

B7 — This has the potential to be the worst inning of the season for the Cubs. 7 batters so far for Reds, & all 7 have reached base. 5 runs so far this inning. Another big inning for Reds (they've had several this series) ties the ballgame. Cubs bullpen has been dreadful this series. Worst series of the season for Cubs relief.

B7 || Cubs 6, Reds 6

The Cubs really need to find a way to come back & win this game. Even though they were playing their best baseball of the year fairly recently, they're really slumping right now. And having to adjust to Pacific Time for 3 late-night games in a row at the Dodgers won't make breaking out of that slump any easier.

F — About as rough as it gets. Cubs blow 6-1 lead late to get swept by lowly Reds. 1st 4-game sweep of Cubs by Reds in 35 years. Dismal bullpen showing on display throughout the 4-game affair for Cubs.

F || Cubs 6, Reds 8

Might be an exaggeration because of the heat of the moment, but that might've been the worst series in the Maddon era in Chicago. To give up over 30 runs in 4 games against a last-place team is inexcusable.
