Boyd a fricking trash, knew this was an L before the game started.

Yeah, his underlying numbers were not good, even though the results were o.k. down the stretch - you know the Cubs had those same numbers I was surprised they started him. I can live with the homer by Tatis, but Boegarts and Machado ain't the hitters they once were - yeah they can still hit mistakes a long way - and Boyd obliged with hanging meatballs to them.

But in the end that really didn't matter as the game could have gone 15 innings and the Cubs would not have scored. Very disappointing approach to hitting, the Cubs of course have picked the worst time of year to go into one of their patented hitting slumps - first starting with the Miami series where they could and should have clinched homefield and then the doubleheader in Boston where they still could have. 9 total runs in those 5 games.
