I was two pitches behind.

Cubs are committed to making sure there are no more high leverage situations, one way or another

[ToolDRT]

[Irrelevant Dude]

Lock it down, bullpen.  Or something like that.

The Brewers having the 2nd best offense in the league right now just annoys me to no end. Contreras and Yelich both over 200. GTFOH. 

The Cubs having a league average offense with ****** defense across the board and no added value on the paths under Counsell is a little surprising too. Over the last 7 games we hit 200/266/353. A lot of disgusting ABs really.

 

Dansby - 93

Happ - 91

Tauchman - 88

Nico - 87

Morel - 82 (!)

Cody - 54

 

😭

Can we update this at some point 

[UMFan83]

So that was pretty good.  Ian raking against lefties is something, as is Busch having several solid PAs against them

[UMFan83]

Dont you hate it when you load the bases with 0 outs and only get 6 runs?

Gonna take CC some time to feel out this roster and learn the right buttons to push.

Cooper with the biggest AB of game so far, 1 strike away from ending that inning with them only squeezing out 1 run, boom they get 6 in a hurry

I like the Grand Slam button. He should keep pushing that one.

[Randall Simon]

If we start walking guys here I swear to god

Don't help he lost his best bullpen arm in Montgomery and the others has been overused the last week. 

Hopefully Palencia can get it to Leiter who can get it to Alzolay to close it up

Turns out exhausted bullpens are bad at pitching regardless of who is in charge of the dugout. 

[UMFan83]

Ugh. Can we use the good pitchers yet?

[Irrelevant Dude]

Sooner or later we're going to run out of bad bullpen arms to put in this one.

[Bobson Dugnutt]

[WhyCantWeWin]

Yeah just way too many guys in this bullpen that can't throw strikes consistently. Palencia, Little, Neris, Almonte and even Thompson at times

Counsell and Lovullo:

[JHBulls]

I would love to be one of those unicorn teams where a 3 run lead spells doom for the opposition. Good relievers, eh? What sort of craziness is that.  

[Irrelevant Dude]

Great job by Leiter

So, uhhh... Who gets the 8th?

[UMFan83]

Wow that was wonderful. Amazing how different everything felt as soon as Leiter came in
