Anyone know how many blown leads our pen has given up in the past week?

343 leads

oh no Soler only reached base in half his plate appearances today and his OPS is down to .837, goodness people

[Guest]

32.3K% going into today for Soler, we've now reached Baez levels.

I'm telling myself it's SSS combined with he appears to be affected by the cold more than other guys

 

But velocity off the bat!

 

Yes, velocity off the bat you [expletive] idiot

 

It's a big number, so obviously that means something.

Batted ball velocity by hit or out. Unsurprisingly, hits tend to move faster.

well that's annoying

Are you so far up your own ass that you really don't think hitting the ball hard is important?

.432babip and 35ish% k rate, those are both huge signs that a lot of bad is coming, pretending otherwise is just sticking your head in the sand.

[Guest]

This one with a larger sample size from 4/20

from the guy who thinks a guy who gave up something 2 HR in 52 innings last year gives up a lot of HR

[Andy]

If we can't score off Melancon the way he's been going, that would be disheartening

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

his K rate was 25 last year. 30+ would have to go on a lot longer for me to be concerned

If only he had a .250 BABIP and a .700 OPS, then we could be optimistic? Soler has had a rough couple days, there are no 'huge signs' of anything here.

just wish we could have gotten to him with the order where it was last inning

[tfarks]

Yeah it's been 15 games.

I think that's all he throws

[CyHawk_Cub]

Disappointing ending to the series. Oh well, 2/2 & now do some damage in GABP

[Butterscup1679666578]

This [expletive] bullpen

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Nope, but I'm not convinced hitting the ball hard when you do hit t for three weeks means you will keep hitting it hard forever.

With a better bullpen and/or bullpen management we probably sweep.

[UMFan83]

No disco party today.

 

Always sucks when you win the first 2 of a 4 gamer but can't win the series.

 

Areas we need to address but overall we'll be fine.

[Sammys Boombox]

Bullpen blowing leads are the worst.

[Cubswin11]

Well [expletive], a split isn't ideal but I can live with it. Win the series in Cincy, please.
