Giants (TBD) vs Cubs (Hendricks): 6/19/24, 1:20pm

[Jason Ross]

Clearly, this is the Tomas Nido effect.

[JHBulls]

Mike Napoli just decides to come out looking like he belongs in an Italian fashion magazine.

Mastrobuoni effect

[JHBulls]

This is the fourth game from the last 5 with 5+ runs. Very pleasing to see lately.

[Outshined_One]

I...just...wow.

[WhyCantWeWin]

Get Neris up for the 9th

[Andy]

Just not allowed to be easy.

[Eeyore]

Shocking!

[JHBulls]

No one’s catching that baseball. 

[squally1313]

Tyson miller in the circle of trust 

[Derwood]

Oof

[abuck1220]

Definitely overused, the Cubs were going out of their way to be careful with him but it seems anecdotally like he's pitched a fair bit these days.

[Jason Ross]

It looked like we were going to avoid a one run game. Then the bullpen had to have a piece of the action.

[Outshined_One]

I get that Leiter did Miller dirty by loading the bases, but holy crap.

[profisme]

It does suck that Tyson gave up that homer, but Leiter walked two in a row to load the bases and they weren't particularly competitive at bats.  

[Tryptamine]

Is this pen starting to reach historic levels of awful yet?

[UMFan83]

Hilarious. So happy to be on the other side of this now where it doesn’t bother me

Dear god the Cubs pen era prior to today was 4.46. The Rockies pen ERA was 6.00. How is that even possible?

[Bull]

Don’t worry. Almonte should be back soon.
