4/23 Cubs (Hendricks) @ Pirates (Locke) 11:35 CSN/MLBN

[Guest]

Of course Schlitter gets him out. [expletive] bullpens.

 

Isn't that the outcome we are hoping for?

[Guest]

there is no question he gives up a hit now

 

just no [expletive] question

 

Walk then McCutchen grand slam.

[halplm]

Here comes the hanging change...

[UMFan83]

See I KNEW Schlitter should have been in

[Ski]

So, why are the Pirates allowed to get all these timely hits and we hit into a double play with the bases loaded with a dude hitting over .300?

 

[expletive] sick of this series.

[CyHawk_Cub]

The Schitter came through..

[Hawk4Hall]

Cold blooded!

[ScrubMD]

Hendricks will never get another win.

A: Who cares about pitcher wins

B: If he keeps only going 5-6 innings per start he doesn't deserve wins

 

He's not taking himself out after 80 pitches.

Maybe he's only good for 80-90 pitches? He did almost give up a HR and a hard hit ball to start this mess

 

After retiring 10/11 batters, someone hit it hard. Yep, DFA.

WoW

 

The long lost Robertson brother does something right.

 

 

Now go get em back O

[Guest]

Good bail-out work, Schlitter, now score some damn runs

[halplm]

Never a doubt

Schlitter back above Jackson on the crappy middle reliever totem pole

[Guest]

went from 34% to win like 5 minutes ago back to 50/50

 

let's do this

For today. But just shows that this part of the bullpen is complete garbage and is just a random day-to-day on who can actually get anyone out.

[halplm]

That was not a strike!

You're sick of a series where we stand a pretty strong chance of taking 3 of 4?

Theo needs to address this mid relief situation asap. Waiting for Grimm and Ramirez is going to cost them too many games.

how should he do that (besides removing the extraneous and shitty pitcher(s) from the roster)?

[ScrubMD]

Jackson would have to do that like 8 more times to fall below Schlitter.

Probably costs less than going out and aggressively pursuing quality relievers via trade in April.

i forgot how insane people are when there's meaningful baseball

[kujay]

We have played some really stupid baseball today.

I realize the outcomes have been good so far, but it feels like every game has been beyond frustrating. With this great offense and the number of times we've just missed a home run or failed to have a ball drop in, it'd be nice to have a blowout where we can cruise and enjoy the game the rest of the way.

 

Naturally, emotions flare up in the heat of the moment.
