Hector Neris, come on in.

It's like Yannick Ngakwe.

I like that.

So maybe Ethan Roberts is my... He's had some nice moments this year, too.

We got Ethan Roberts and Trent Thornton coming at you, Cubs fans.

Number four.

Davis Martin in his three starts in the month of June has allowed 24 hits and 15 earned runs in 14 innings of work.

So on a scale from one to 10 on the worry meter, trademarked, how worried are you about Martin's recent performances?

Yeah.

I don't know if you got plans tonight.

Yes.

It's a very helpless feeling when your best pitcher, your ace, whomever it is, when they go bad, and they have bad games.

It happens to Tariq Scooble.

It happens to Paul Skeens.

It happens to the best starters.

Every once in a while, there's a dud, and you're like, whoa, this is wild to see.

You don't expect to see it, and there's nothing...

You can do about it.

And that's what happened to Davis Martin with the sixth run fourth, walking a guy in with the bases loaded.

My worry goes up just a little bit.
