5/3 Cubs (Dempster) @ Reds (Bailey) 11:35 AM CSN

[El Duderino]

annnnd do i even bother following this anymore?

 

nope

[bukie]

When Dolis gets the loss in a second here, that will retract from his chances of being the new closer. But I still think he's the best option.

 

in what way is he the best option

He reminds me of Carlos Marmol without a strikeout pitch.

if marmol still had one.

[Guest]

Awesome

[bcl412]

[expletive] loss.

[bukie]

Again, the situation could really use a strikeout, and Dolis isn't missing enough bats right now to be that guy.

[Rizzo Smash]

Epic loss.

[Guest]

Well that was wonderful.

[Guest]

At least I don't have to make another game thread.

 

YAY

[Banedon]

I think Dolis just won the closer job.

 

Or not.

[Sammy Sofa]

Poor Dempster.

[jersey cubs fan]

can you sweep a two gamer?

 

Only if you win both.

 

Soooooo, no, you can't.

[UMFan83]

It was a swell 8.5 innings.

 

What would the Cubs record be this year if Carlos Marmol didn't exist?

[Schwarber Fan]

Blown Save: Dolis

Loss: Dolis

 

that's unfortunate

[Rizzo Smash]

Blown Save: Dolis

Loss: Dolis

 

that's unfortunate

He's not good either. Doesn't deserve the blown save though.

[wastra]

Words cannot express how utterly beyond surprised I am. Why do I even bother following this year? there are maybe 2 guys who belong on a major league roster in the lineup.

He's kind of like 2008 Samardzija

Sort of ironic to say after a game that they lost because of one relief pitcher who is really [expletive] shitty.

[bcl412]

Well, that's obviously an overexaggeration.

It's not even that. Without our bullpen, this team is in a [expletive] wildcard spot even as bad as its lineup is.

 

Even a team that is supposed to suck, sucks for the wrong reasons and manages to infuriate all of us.

 

Truly unreal.

Please allow me to vent.

 

 

I think we're all entitled after that {censored}.

We're 6-5 in our last 11 games...its not THAT bad.

Not sure about wrong reasons. Coming into seasons everybody knew they would struggle to score runs, had pretty good starting pitching and no bullpen. That has all come to fruition aside from a few minor details.

[rocket]

your team is pretty special if you have a sub 1 ERA and still don't have a win.

[bcl412]

That's what is frustrating. I don't think this team is as bad as expected (in fact the starting pitching has been pretty good, especially lately) and if the bullpen didn't suck we'd be around .500.
