what the hell pull him Lou..don't waste his arm tonight..not when the offense isn't going to do a damn thing.

[nilodnayr]

I don't like this.

[Butterscup1679666578]

So we're going to lose AND we made Rich throw a ton of pitches. Fun.

[CubsNSkers07]

Looks like this is one of those games where you just tip your cap.

 

tip your cap while cursing over and over and over again, because any hard hit ball is going directly to Chris Young :(

[Guest]

Real responsible, Lou.

 

I am not happy with this decision.

[BCVM22]

Chris Young has a .299 OBP? YIKES.

[TMan92]

Young will homer here just to put the cherry on top.

[Derwood]

what was the cubs first half pythag.?

 

not sure about 1st half, but they were 2 back of their pythag entering tonight

[Butterscup1679666578]

So we're going to lose AND we made Rich throw a ton of pitches. Fun.

 

Leaving him in? Good lord.

Welcome to the Cubs Rich. Is the D-Back Bullpen as good as last year without Valverde?

 

The D-backs bullpen has been a complete mess lately.

 

Brandon Lyon (closer) is no Valverde and I think Juan Cruz (primary setup) is still injured. Not sure on Cruz though.

 

He has been pitching very well this year - not so much for Lyon though.

[CubsBears29]

Only the Cubs would waste a game like this from Harden, and last Friday night's game from Lilly to lose either 1-0 or 2-1.

 

I know, I know... game isn't over yet, but you get the point.

 

 

I could literally scream its so frustrating beyond words. And WTH was B2 to Young!??!!?!!? :-#

[windycityfan]

Come on Rich, get out of it.

[Derwood]

So we're going to lose AND we made Rich throw a ton of pitches. Fun.

 

Leaving him in? Good lord.

 

"gotta give him the chance to win"

[Magnetic Curses]

what was the cubs first half pythag.?

 

not sure about 1st half, but they were 2 back of their pythag entering tonight

 

so, the first half wasn't a fluke?

[CubsNSkers07]

I wish Harden was more of a ground ball type pitcher because we don't get many innings out of him, 7 isn't bad but in 115 pitches or so it sure isn't good.

[BCVM22]

Runs, please.

alright, it's time for some of those liners to find holes. it can't go on a full 9 innings.

[Alien11]

There is only 1 way out of this offensive funk and that is: Jimmy Gobble who gave up 10 runs in 1 inning of work today.

[CubsNSkers07]

Randy Johnson be nice hang back-back pitches for 2 home runs so we can take the lead please.

[GoCubsGo1679625768]

That entire bench owes Harden an apology...they really do.
