Suboptimal to allow the first 2 batters to reach in a 1 run game. 

Ahh was just setting up for Leiter to get 3 outs on 2 pitches. Great move Counsell

[chibears55]

Whew, nice job Leiter 

Need a couple insurance runs here

[Irrelevant Dude]

Leiter is going to be burnt out by August again.

[Illiterate Scholar]

Leiter didnt exactly fool anyone but hey that'll work.

[Bobson Dugnutt]

you’re cool, Leiter. you can stay

Amazing that when relievers throw strikes, sometimes the batters hit the ball at people.

[UMFan83]

Are we really gonna be the team whose bullpen can’t horsefeathers throw strikes ever?

making this way too easy for them, come on Neris

A Cubs reliever walks the leadoff hitter?  Consider me shocked.

Yeah, I don’t have much faith in our pen closing this out unless we score a couple in the 9th.

[Cubs420psd]

Neris is supposed to be good right? Because god damn you could fool me.

Driving me nuts. This team hasn’t hit all series and we’re just giving them free bases. Not even tough ABs just 4 or 5 pitch walks

[Irrelevant Dude]

It is still early, but my opinion of Neris is that he sucks.  His stuff isn't impressive and he either can't throw strikes or he is nibbling because he knows his stuff is no good.

[abuck1220]

good thing he took leiter out after two pitches so this clown could come in 

[Tryptamine]

Maybe next time don't invest in the reliever whose peripherals all scream average at best.

Going to Neris here is such a terrible decision.

[Andy]

I'm not enjoying the Hector Neris experience

[s2obed]

So many options on the market this offseason and we gave 9m to this guy.

I don’t know why that was our big pen acquisition but I figured they just knew more than me

[Derwood]

So Rookie of the Month is a two horse race between Shota and Busch, yeah?

[UMFan83]

Is Julio Rodriguez not available at all today? Surprised he hasn’t PH yet

[UMFan83]

Great job walking the bases loaded on 5 non competitive pitches 

[Tryptamine]

This guy pulling off a sub 2 era has to rank as one of the biggest flukes of all time.

[LBiittner]

Neris stinks

[Irrelevant Dude]

Jed should stick to trades and Japanese free agents.

All 3 walks were that style of walk
