5/8 Cards (Westbrook) @ CUBS (Villanueva) 1:20 WGN

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Hey look, it's a right-handed reliever with mediocre stuff pitching a high-leverage 8th inning.

[Schwarber Fan]

Yadier Molina: the gift that keeps on giving

[UMFan83]

yay bullpen!

[Schwarber Fan]

Castro/Navarro DP innings were the killer today

[illiniguy]

How is it our catchers struggle so badly to catch the ball?

[Sammy Sofa]

Oh, good, ANOTHER wild pitch.

[bukie]

Aramis Fan talking about the game in the past tense? Must be the 8th inning.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

So we're not too right-handed and Kevin Gregg is closing, but we can't catch the ball, so the curse of the 2009 Cubs continues.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

That was our 25th WP+PB this season. League average is 14.

[Schwarber Fan]

Oh yes, because the come back victories have been so plentiful and the games blown by the bullpen have been so rare.

 

I do like Rizzo going deep in the bottom half though, hopefully with a guy on base.

[Smack]

Well, at least we've got the heart of the order coming up.

Y'know, I'm starting to think you naming yourself after players slowly destroys them.

This. And god forbid someone actually frame a [expletive] pitch.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

So today brings our bullpen's net WPA down to -3.23 for the season. League median is +0.79.

 

Last year's bullpen, also dead last, was -5.93 for the whole season.

[illiniguy]

Good lord Starlin. I feel like his hot tool has regressed. How does that happen at his age?

[Smack]

Pat says the 'aness' in Maness like anus, is that the right way to say it?? heh

Hmm... perhaps I should try "Yadier Fan"?

Need a RizzoBOMB here

Wellington Castillo is so bad at catching/framing he couldn't smooth a silk sheet if he had a hot date with a babe...I lost my train of thought. Edited May 8, 2013 by Cubswin11

When you predict that the game is over in the 8th inning 162 times a year, you'll probably be right 75% of the time, and you'll be annoying, pointless, and stupid 100% of the time.

[Schwarber Fan]

It's almost like when Valbuena is up there, the ball just flies out of the strike zone.

The 8th? You are giving him way too much credit.
