Lol this teams sucks right now. Bullpen is back to being garbage.

6 weeks of amazing bullpen work and then 3 wind blowing out games and the pen goes from great to garbage? Wow!

And against a team that is among the leaders in MLB in runs scored via HR.

I guess we are in the doldrums now.  Need to shake out of it because the upcoming schedule isn’t easy and the teams behind us aren’t stopping.

About time that fat horsefeathers was brushed back, he's just a little too comfortable in the batters box.

There you go Tucker.

Cubs pitching (with some shady defense) has given up 8, 9, 7 and 9 (so far today) runs in the last four games at Wrigley. That needs to change.

 The Cubs next day off is on June 30.

Should have been a 3 run bomb but I think the ump wants to go home 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Absolutely crushed

Is Brujan hurt ? Why would CC pinch hit for him there

Im hoping they could at the very least only be down 1 or 2 in the bottom of 9th and have a legit shot, need some work and someone from the pen to shut them down the final 2 innings.

Cubs see your down by 1 or 2 in the bottom of the 9th suggestion and raise you down by 1 or 2 at the top of the 9th and then down by 6 at the bottom of the 9th.

Is there ever a reason to question why Brujan is pinch hit for???

Cmon Pearson. Let’s see some strikes.

Brujan and Berti make me miss Mastro

Wow what a crazy coincidence that since Monday the pitching is struggling and the the offense is hot after it being the total opposite before.  Crazy crazy coincidence.

[profisme]

Ugh.

Now Cohen is simping for Ricketts and Jed. JFC, this guy

Pearson is the definition of a AAAA player 

[Bobson Dugnutt]

Moreso than anyone I've ever seen in my life. Been watching the Cubs for 40 years and never have seen a guy throw as hard as him and be that ineffective. He has NO out pitch...no secondary breaking stuff that he has any command over. Just a waste of time and energy....and BTW: he calls THAT a moustache? lofl

[Geographyhater8888]

What is this run scoring strategy that the Mairiners have deployed? They’re scoring runs, but all their hits land in the ballpark and dodge gloves, and they advance from base to base in the process.

is this even legal? If not, maybe the cubs can give this Mariners discovery a try.

But let’s be clear, CC was not managing to win this game. Leaving Rea in to start the 6th inning was the clear indicator.

(Almost) all bullpen pitchers suck
