5/16 Pittsburgh (Cole) @ CUBS (Lester) 3:05, ABC7/Fox

[Gilby]

I'm still not as nervous when Motte pitches as I probably should be.

[Banedon]

How about Wood pitches the 9th and bring up Wada?

[Andy]

So who is going to close if the Cubs are still ahead in the 9th?

Rosscup

Rosscup, he's starting to warm up now according to Miles.

I would guess Russell, Rosscup, and Jackson should all be available.

[Tryptamine]

Why is Edwin not available?

[Irrelevant Dude]

Travis Wood up in the pen

[Guest]

wow, Wood warming up. Wada really is taking his spot, that's great.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 15-0 (1.000) when they lead at the end of the 7th inning.... 5-15 (.250) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Sammys Boombox]

I jokingly said we'll get to see Wood and Jackson this inning too. Just to get all the crappy pitchers in one inning. It might happen.

Jason Motte and Phil Coke and Brian Schlitter are all on this team right now proving that winning games right now is not the foremost priority of the front office and it's absolutely infuriating

Seems pretty likely that 2 of those guys will not be on the team tomorrow.

[CyHawk_Cub]

Finish him

[Ram1380]

WOWZERS

 

There is a Santa

 

\:D/

 

3 more outs...some how....some way....before giving up 3 runs

 

:beg:

[Tryptamine]

Absolutely shocked it's still 4-1.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Nicely done! Schlitter better reimburse the Cubs for that plane ticket.

I still think Motte will turn it around. I'd keep him around. The other 2 can go far far away though.

[Gilby]

Nice job, bullpen. Motte's command was [expletive], but he got out of it.

[Andy]

Clutch from Motte. Good thing he missed his spot by a foot instead of 6 inches against Alvarez.

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

Wow Coke and Motte did good for once. Now hopefully Rosscup can get the save.

[bcl412]

The bullpen has struggled but at least most pitchers have shown something at time. I'm not sure if there's been a game where Schlitter has done anything positive.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 2-5 (.286) when they get outhit by 4 or more hits by the opponent.... 18-10 (.643) when they don't.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[CyHawk_Cub]

We need more runs

[halplm]

I am genuinely surprised.

[ScrubMD]

That series of events was more unlikely than the end of yesterday's game.
