5/7 Cubs (Shota) vs. Padres (Vasquez) 6:40 PM CT

[We Got The Whole 9]

Son of a bitch 

[DYMNO]

Unreal

[WhyCantWeWin]

That wasn’t even a bad pitch 

[UMFan83]

And 2-1 Padres

[chibears55]

Lol...

Oh well...

[cl smooth]

Ffffffffffuuuudddgggeeeee

[Andy]

Jurickson Profar is straight up not good enough to do that and I refuse to accept any of this inning as real

[UMFan83]

If we don't come back this will be the 7th game we've lost while leading in the 8th inning or later (you knew that was coming)

 

19% of our games this year, nearly one out of 5, will be of that variety

I have no idea how that ball got out. With him reaching for it and the ball being low, I would have thought that was more likely to be a bloop over the SS head than a homer.

[Thusly Boned]

Welp, Shota probably shouldn't have been out there, but unfortunately our pen is a raging dumpster fire

[JHBulls]

The offense will need to pick Shota up now. It’s an unfortunate thing, but Shota kept the Cubs in front through 7 innings.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Good guess by Profar basically 

[chibears55]

Maybe the bats will wake the Fuk up now

[s2obed]

lol wow 

[mfcubs22]

The pitches weren’t bad, but I really didn’t like Shota going back out there for the 8th. Oh well

[Irrelevant Dude]

Bullpen gave up 2 runs there without even entering the game.

[Jason Ross]

Bummed for Shota. That wasn't a bad pitch. 

[JHBulls]

You just know that these next two arms will look like the best relievers in the world for 6 outs. It won’t help a damn bit though. 

[s2obed]

Cheap homer but a homer nonetheless. Surprised to see Shota there. Almonte has been decent lately and Leiter/Neris are availble. Weird move by Craig tonight.

[SpongeWorthy]

i want to die

[UMFan83]

This is 2023 all over again.  They started 14-10 in April, then the offense went into a tailspin and the bullpen was bad.  This team is keeping their heads above water but the trend is very similar to me.

lol everyone yelling at Craig to keep the starters in because the bullpen sucks, he does and now people are mad he didnt trust his pen.  Can't win.

[mfcubs22]

I’ll be very happy to not see the Padres again. horsefeathers.

Not mad, stating it was a weird move. Also said it was a cheap homer, good pitch, wasn’t even a strike.
