rea for two innings to close this out would have been an easy choice 

Probably saving Rea for long relief tomorrow piggybacking with Holmes?

I'm sure they are just waiting for Cabrera to get activated before sending Thielbar on his way... it was a good run but it's time for him to retire 

That doesn’t mean he has to pitch every game lmao

[Eeyore]

I miss Turd

[Dfan25]

He got away with one there

[chibears55]

Bail him out Billy Bob

Got away with two.

[Dfan25]

Peterson will soon be the 2nd lefty reliever option o would guess

True, but I don't blame them for trying to use him when they have a 4 run lead to save the rest of the pen... at least, I'm trying to rationalize it lol.  Guy is horrible though 

[abuck1220]

webb if he doesn’t get collins plz

Brewers lose

Be nice to win this one to close the gap

[JHBulls]

Hopefully this ends the same way the Dodgers game did two days ago when they scored 5 runs in the 8th and we still won.

What is happening with the lights?

Yeah we tried to use him in a 6 run game 2 days ago and he gave up 4 runs. There is no situation where he’s safe.  I’m aware he pitched a scoreless 10th yesterday but blind squirrel and nut

[Bull]

Why not see what Braxton has here instead of abusing Theilbar and Thornton.

[JBears79]

Cubs are allergic to winning when the Brewers lose

[soccer10k]

Throw strikes!

[Dfan25]

Thornton somehow gets out of it 😂
I give him this , at least he throw ground balls

Thielbar needs to join Ian in the shadow realm for a few days

[Irrelevant Dude]

Thornton looks like he is redlining it every outing, overthrowing everything and somehow getting the job done... but he is eventually going to be voted the weakest link.

[chibears55]

Fukkk...  they could have 5 starters go 7 innings and we still have to hold our breath to get 6 outs with this bullpen

I've been noticing teams doing that during visiting team's mound visits.

[JHBulls]

Sometimes I wonder if most of the bullpen arms on this roster were signed under similar circumstances as this

 

[chibears55]

Let's get 1 back at least

[squally1313]

Have I somehow missed this concept of interviewing the starting pitchers while the game is still going on? Because I don’t like it
