5/2/24 - CHC (Brown) @ NYM (Houser) 12:10 MSN

[Brock Beauchamp]

Good lord.

[JHBulls]

Ah ffs.

[Outshined_One]

Welp.

[CubinNY]

ran out of pitchers. 

[UMFan83]

5th game this year we've had a lead in the 8th or later and lost.  It's May 2nd

[Soul]

No drama.  No delays.  Just a quick death.

[We Got The Whole 9]

You just kinda knew Palencia was gonna come out for a 2nd inning flat

Hahaha you're really going to count this one huh

[Irrelevant Dude]

So extends the streak of lost extra innings games in a row to something like 136.

And the Cubs will never score in extras thereafter 

[Cuzi]

Lose a game because we can't field a comebacker to the pitcher. The bread and butter of this team was supposed to be the defense.

[UMFan83]

Stupid series.  Could have won 3 of 4, could have lost 4 of 4.  2-2 seems appropriate but damn this team can be frustrating.

Hmm its a game we had a lead in the 8th inning or later and lost so, yeah

[UMFan83]

Only 7 more games until we can finally have an off day

Sure, but given that today was driven almost entirely by a new rule designed to make teams score in extra innings, it probably means we should be caveating this 'historic' stretch of losses-after-being-ahead. 

[Brian707]

19-13

Vaunted Brewers next

Yeah the defense has been so bad it's pretty unbelievable 

[Soul]

Cubs in extra innings

[squally1313]

Annnyways, there's the road split we all would have happily taken going into the series. Fun series coming up.

Do you still put an asterisk behind all the HR records after the schedule expanded to 162 games?

Either way, just to be extra annoying about it, the Cubs have lost 10 of their last 58 games dating back to last year when they had a lead in the 8th inning or later.  If you watched a Cubs game last September or this year, there was a 17% chance you would see them blow a late lead and lose.

You don't have to police complaining posts in every GT

Oh now the zone expands on pitches that at no point in their path to the plate were in the strike zone.

Can we please bring in the robot umpires!!
