6/28 Happ just homered

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Tepera is toast.

[Schwarber Fan]

This team is done. Can’t stay healthy enough to score enough runs and the bullpen can’t save the awful starting pitching every night.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Does Schwarber throw that runner out at home by 2 feet or 4 feet?

[Andy]

Good lord that ball was hit like 210 feet and Joc wasn't even close. This is ridiculous.

[muntjack]

Schwarber would have had him, but then again, he would have 5 HR in this game so it wouldn't matter.

Tepera is toast.

Is it a safe assumption he was using some tiky tak?

Ahead 1-2, walks batter

Ahead 1-2, walks batter

Ahead 1-2, double to dead center

 

Wonderful.

Probably just the innings. He's got 38 and we're not even halfway through the season.

Are you trying to tell me it's a bad idea to pitch the same guys in the 7th and 8th innings every game?

I mean he had a 21 inning or something scoreless streak and then immediately after the ban starts he has given up 7 ER in 3 IP. Could be overuse too but that’s quite the coincidence.

 

I mean all that pub about the Cubs magical pitch lab that focused on identifying guys with spin rate managed to turn scrap heap guys into elite bullpen arms.

 

Nance is suspicious too - 5.2 IP, 6 ER since the ban. Others have held up well so maybe it is just the fact that pitchers occasionally give up runs and struggle

brewers just kind of own the cubs organizationally this year. their good pitchers have the book on the cubs’ hitters, they execute and the cubs can’t/won’t adjust. meanwhile the same brewers hitters just keep killing the cubs.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Don't bother showering, Trevor. The bus is running.

[UMFan83]

So wait, the inning started tied and ended with a position player getting the 3rd out? That’s hilarious

[UMFan83]

Last Monday the Cubs completed a 6 game stretch where they scored 10 total runs. Tonight the Brewers scored 10 runs in an inning against the Cubs.

Wonderful.

This basically summed it up for me but don't forget the 8 pickoff throws while Hiura, the 500 OPS monster, was at the plate. Just horsefeathering focus on the [expletive] hitter, not Jace horsefeathering Peterson.

[BigSlick]

Tepera turning into a pumpkin is not a great thing to happen.

The thing is, there were probably 2-3 of those throws that could have picked the runner off if Tepera had even a mediocre move to first.

10 in the 8th, that’s a fat finger right?

[UMFan83]

The Cubs scored the 2nd most runs that they’ve scored in their last 15 games tonight and still lost by 10 runs

[d_money]

Jed - if there ever was a sign, the performance tonight is screaming at you to sell. Start dismantling.

 

Kimbral has been fun to watch but he should bring back a sweet return
