Cubs (Shota) @ Braves, 5/13/24 6:20 pm

[We Got The Whole 9]

Terrible AB Happ. He threw one pitch in the zone.

[mfcubs22]

What could Craig have possibly said to warrant getting ejected there?

 

It’s going to be near impossible for our offense to outscore the Braves with Shota likely done after 5 - unless Wesneski is going 4 innings.

That 1B ump has a punchable looking face

As best as I can tell from the fragmented replays, Craig jumped up to the top step to yell something after the call, Valentine yelled "sit down" and Counsell said "shut up" in response and got run.

[Brian707]

To me, Amaya put his arms up, the hard ass ump said something like "Whats your problem " then Craig jumped to his defense to protect him

[We Got The Whole 9]

I'm done with our catchers. What a black hole.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

think a few of us might've been able to match the sprint speed there

hahahaha outstanding, Boog

[We Got The Whole 9]

What a weapon 

[UMFan83]

Welp 4 innings from the pen needed. How many of them can be from Ben Brown?

Even when Imanaga didn’t have his command he managed to keep the Braves scoreless, got a bit lucky but that’s a solid outing 

[JHBulls]

Shota has been an excellent signing. 

[JHBulls]

Did Marquee borrow ESPN’s cameras? That looked gone. 

[squally1313]

Seiya getting hot would be a welcome development 

[Transmogrified Tiger]

how in the world did that not carry out

He'd have 2 homers tonight in Wrigley wouldn't he?

Statcast says both of those are out of Wrigley, and that's without considering whatever bird apparently hit that one last inning to die as late as it did

[PeanutPunch33]

Shota is awesome, 5 more scoreless 

Lets get some runs 

[squally1313]

For fucks sake 

[WhyCantWeWin]

Of course the shittiest guy in their lineup does the job. Stop nibbling to short 

[abuck1220]

the immediacy with which this bullpen blows games is really something. 

[s2obed]

Who is the HP ump tonight? Just awful. 

[UMFan83]

It’s crazy how often the pen comes in and immediately gives up runs to blow a lead or tie after the starter pitches great 

[Illiterate Scholar]

Braves are 10-15 on balls in play. Fun
