Ian Happ lol

He'll 1 for 10 with 9 Ks but that hit will likely be a homerun lmao 🤣

Absolutely! 

[chibears55]

Come on Busch, get yours now

[chibears55]

Hopefully they still have the lead, Palencia should be good to go again in the 9th after 13 pitches in game 1

I doubt the team uses him a second time on a cold day like today. Maton or Harvey will get the duties.

[Derwood]

Always remember that Ben Brown is trash, no matter how much you dream he isn't

horsefeathers lame ass pen

Jacob Webb has reverse splits and the Guardians are heavy LHH. The Cubs used up Milner and Thielbar in game-1. So it's either Webb, a RHH who is especially good at limiting LHH or Riley Martin, the rookie, as your two "LHH specialists " for this game.

Can’t expect the bullpen to hold a lead in back to back games.

[abuck1220]

the guys that pitched in game 1 are allowed to pitch in game 2.

The Cubs are not going to re-heat an arm in sub 40 degree weather. That's a really good way to create injuries. 

[abuck1220]

turns out the B team bullpen horsefeathers sucks

[We Got The Whole 9]

What a dumpster fire these 'steady vets' are

 

[Gjfificifjdej]

Truly sickening display of pitching by the bullpen in the second game. That doesn’t belong on a professional field. 

[SpongeWorthy]

these are some really bad pitches

[We Got The Whole 9]

Throw Ethan in there now. Nothing to lose at this point.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

ah, the classic noncompetitive balls out of the zone and strikes right down the middle

[JHBulls]

I feel like the difference between not winning the division and winning the division is a good bullpen. I know it might sound like a lie, but I feel like it’s true. 

[Derwood]

Bullpen-by-Dumpster-Diving strikes again

[soccer10k]

Someone tell the Cubs they’re allowed to win two games in a row.

[Gjfificifjdej]

I am begging somebody to throw a strike that isn’t a complete meatball
