Lou gives the big vote of no confidence to Heilman.

 

Patience is running thin.

 

This has become a joke of a ritual too many nights. Cubs get lead, bullpen comes in and either craps the bed or comes damn close to crapping the bed. Earn your money or get the hell out of here.

 

This bullpen has put together the most dominating 2 months out of a bullpen that I think I have ever seen out of a Cubs team. They have simply been brilliant since late May.

 

Tonight hasn't been their best night though. Hopefully Gregg can somehow get out of this one.

I agree. Besides Heilman I am starting to like our pen.

They give up too many walks to be consistently dominant.

they still walk way too many guys. their BAA is one of the lowest in the league but the OBPA is one of the worst in the league.

I don't know how you can watch Marmol and say that you like that. I think it's a freaking joke. Maybe it's worked for a couple months, that doesn't mean they're going to be good walking everyone and loading the damn bases all the time.

Because I still have hopes he will snap out of it. Heilman won't.

It's been what? 12 months since he was throwing his slider with some snap? I'm not so sure.

 

And Heilman's going to keep getting trotted out there, you know that.

Every CUBS pitcher in the game tonight has given up at least one walk, except Marmol !!??

 

:shock:

 

 

While he might not have "walked" a batter, he still did since he hit Willingham with ball 4.
