[Soul]

This dude is throwing bad pitches!!

[Rex Buckingham]

Counsell has to be at his wits end with this bullpen

[Irrelevant Dude]

Alzolay is 100% the better closer option of limited options.

[Thusly Boned]

Few things light my brain on fire quite like relievers coming in and walking everyone

[We Got The Whole 9]

He got boned on the walk to Alonso but most of these are just uncompetitive pitches.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Finally stopped trying to throw the strike-to-ball splitter and immediately mowed him down

[Transmogrified Tiger]

okay NOW throw the strike-to-ball splitter

Historically horsefeathers win.

[squally1313]

We…probably didn’t deserve that one 

[Rex Buckingham]

[Soul]

Hahah!!!  No hitter to a win!

[Andy]

At least Neris is more 2008-09 Marmol than 2011 Marmol so far.

CUBS WIN

[chibears55]

W...

Wow, what big win to pull out here..

Keep finding ways guys

[WhyCantWeWin]

You know he’s gonna blow one sooner or later but until then you gotta take it I guess. 

[Illiterate Scholar]

Some 2015 Jason Motte level smoke and mirrors 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Phew, thought for sure Bader was gonna get up and walk it off. 

 

 

[UMFan83]

Crazy ass Joe Borowski wannabe

[Derwood]

Still haven't lost 3 straight

That's only fair after last night.

[CubinNY]

Great pitching performance by Jamison. 

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Brewers definitely going to win now that the Cubs won.

[Bertz]

Beyond the actual win, burning Edwin Diaz like that is also big for the rest of the series.  He worked Sunday too, so he is probably only usable one more time in the series to avoid a 4/5 stretch?

Not even close to caring about what the standings look like, but saw this was a close/late game and turned it on to see Trevor Megill (who gave up about 3 HR/9 with us) easily throwing 100 in the top of the 9th and then Jason Adam coming into close and realizing he's given the Rays 130 innings of 2.14 ERA since leaving the Cubs. That's after last years whipping boy Leiter picks up the win, $100m man Edwin Diaz gets the loss, and Hector "we should cut him" Neris gets the save. Bullpens are hard man.

Anyways, real interesting play/ump call here. 2nd/3rd with one out in the bottom of the 9th, swings through strike 3 in the dirt but it gets by the catcher, after the ball is past the catcher the hitters follow through gets the catcher in the back of the head. Doesn't really slow him down and the result is a run scoring and the hitter getting to first. Ump calls the play dead, batter out, runners return to their bases.
