Have to give it to them, the bullpen guys really came through today. Excellent work. 

Give credit WHEN credit is due 👌

Take a W any way we can at this point in the season!

That was the most mismanaged half inning I’ve ever seen.

I wouldn’t have gone with Zeperjahn, but I guess Craig has to do that stuff. He has to find guys for the playoffs. He has to get them used to pressure situations. If it cost them a playoff, maybe it doesn’t matter. If he didn’t do this they would be ready for  the playoffs anyway. Maybe if he used them and they succeed that leads to playoff success???🤷 he is kind of damned if he does and damned if he don’t, when things go bad.

Leta go Braves.

Skenes must be pissed, he was rolling 

[NorthsideAvenger]

Nice bounce back series.

A day late on the prediction - Cubs bullpen comes through in a high leverage situation.  I know, it's more a blind squirrel finds a nut or a broken clock is right twice a day.  Honestly, I thought it was over after Nico helped to give the Pirates the lead.  Probably, a game they should not have won but, hey, they certainly lost a sh*t ton of games they should have won.

With Luzardo scratched from the start today, we have to have Atlanta open up this game and win this series. Hopefully a sweep. 
However, Padres and DBacks are hot right now too.
