Diamondbacks (Burnes) vs Cubs (Rea): 4/18/25, 1:20pm

[Jason Ross]

Me, who last saw the score after Busch's single to make it 7-1

[PeanutPunch33]

How can a modern MLB General Manager not build a decent bullpen in 5 seasons 

[itisallpartoftheplan]

18 runs in the last 2 8th innings

[chibears55]

Remember when it was a 2-1 game an inning ago

[Bobson Dugnutt]

Suarez recorded an out. Successful inning I’d say

i literally sent one work email and we gave up 10 runs 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Teams are absolutely licking their chops once Counsell pulls the starter

[UMFan83]

Part of me feels like Jed built this team with glaring holes on purpose to stick it to Ricketts on the way out. 3B is a disaster, our rotation depth is already being tested, we have no good pen arms. But we saved $25m on payroll this year so that’s nice

Went from a cubs blowout to a Dback blowout in a heartbeat

[Cubs420psd]

That was the saddest most pathetic inning I've ever watched, I would have rather been at work. And for that, my sincerest horsefeathers you to Jed Hoyer and Tom Ricketts.

[gflore34]

It's even worse with the national broadcast being these dipshit Arizona announcers.

Going into the year with no backup plan for Shaw not being ready was idiotic.

Didn't Madden do the same with bullpen,  he kept putting in the scrubs as a im just playing the guys you gave me.

It's not his fault they didn't all outperform their projections

What in the holy crap is going on?  Why can't we fix our bullpen?  It seems to be a huge problem EVERY SINGLE YEAR.  I cannot count the number of games we have lost because of the damn bullpen.

[Cubs420psd]

I mean outside just liking baseball, what's the point with really investing time in this team? This bullpen, once again, is an absolute train wreck, they will win nothing worth while with that. 

 

Just horsefeathers sad, because the rotation and offense look to both be good.

You mean a rule 5 bum wasn't a great back up plan?

Need to get Tucker up there as Tying or go ahead run

[CubinNY]

yes baby! Kelly is the MVP

[Thusly Boned]

WTF Carson Kelly

[JHBulls]

Baseball does suck sometimes. It just fucks with your emotions.

7-1 lead. Trail 11-7. Now it’s 11-10.

You can’t even horsefeathers rage quit with this team.
