5/4 Cubs (Wood) @ Cardinals (Martinez) 7:10PM ESPN/CSN

[Cubswin11]

Castro rolling over everything on the outer half for the last week, frustrating, go to right center

He's bailing way out towards third base on everything. He steps towards the plate then , for a lack of better term, fades/falls back towards the base side and flails at the ball losing any sort of ability to hit a ball hard or far

Also, anyone who is seriously saying that the bullpen is a problem is both reactionary and has no memory of any games outside of today.

It's the middle of the bullpen. Strop, Rosscup, Rondon, Ramirez have been good. Everyone outside of that can be shot into the sun.

How many bullpens you know of that are more than 4 deep? Also, you're neglecting Motte who has been mostly good.

[CyHawk_Cub]

Castro is incapable of driving the ball these days.

[Andy]

So it'll come down to the bottom of the order in the 9th. Wonderful

[Guest]

Games like this make me wonder if a deep Cubs playoff run would kill me

it wouldn't kill us, but i do honestly believe it would completely cease to be fun during the games.

 

basically they all have to be 03 nlcs games 2 and 4 for that not to be the case

[NotSoSober]

thank god david ross is in

[Guest]

Maddon just pulled Starlin to make sure that Ross hits instead of a pinch hitter(Soler) in the 9th. Why

[OleMissCub]

Before this hilarious meltdown, the Cubs were 13th in bullpen era and that's with the 4 guys mentioned and you can include Motte too I guess:

Big Chicago games mostly suck; the home fans always seem terrified of everything going wrong and everything is insanely nervous and tense and not fun at all.

 

Though I can't speak for hockey fans; those animals are probably [expletive] in the seats and drinking paint thinner.

Really. You're going to bullpen ERA as the measure of pen effectiveness.

[SouthSideRyan]

We now have Herrera, Ross, Lake, and the pitcher spot in our lineup.

Bulls fans do get terrified that they won't get to 100 so they can stuff their fat [expletive] faces with Big Macs

almost better is using 13th in mlb as evidence that it's bad

[Sammy Sofa]

 

That guy is a hero. Also: nice shorts, Cardinals' staff. Roast's fannypack looks dignified by comparison.

[Sammy Sofa]

Yeah, Bulls fans are basically the epitome of terrified Chicago fans; I don't know what David is talking about.
