The Cubs bullpen must be allergic to holding leads.

Another 3-0 lead down the shitter. 

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Easy 1-2-3 without an ounce of difficulty. I wonder how long it will take for the Braves to get a baserunner

[abuck1220]

aw horsefeathers it’s “94 mph changeup!” season baby. taking me back to my youth of April 2026…

So I guess Cabrera is much better out of the bullpen.

[abuck1220]

No s***

At least Cabrera looked decent.  If both he and Palencia can step up in the bullpen, Webb can be relegated to garbage time where he belongs.

For now.😁

[abuck1220]

the pitches nico has been swinging at lately have been WILD 

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

I sometimes wonder how Nico is even as successful as he is He will swing at literally anything with 2 stlrikes

[abuck1220]

talking myself into thinking @ atl for the WC isn’t THAT much worse than SD or philly.

[squally1313]

Two absolutely unreal 3-1 pitches there 

[abuck1220]

cubs have zero good relievers and this guy just came in and shut them down with 25 straight fastballs lol

It is probably the best matchup of the 3.

Yep, just dotting high velocity with ease. The contrast is appalling 

[Soul]

Everyone else has a never ending wellspring of 21 yo fireballers.

This can’t be that hard.

But can they spin it?

ATL and LA is a better path than PHIL/SD and MIL IMO

Why have 21 year old fireballers when you can sign a bunch of lightly regarded junk ballers and hope that your amazing pitch academy can turn a couple into average relief pitchers?

Cubs are gonna have any chance in 9th, they need to keep them from scoring here, give PCA and maybe Suzuki a chance

Palencia hasn't been captain reliable either. And it's hard for BP guys to sit and then come back. 

Sadly, there aren't options right now that make sense. Everyone has a glaring red flag. Hard to blame Counsell on these things.

I do understand what you’re saying, but right now, Webb has been the biggest liability. He’s literally cost us what….four games now with a lead of 1-2 runs? He’s not reliable. It’s just frustrating for everyone at this point

Cabrera showing his true self this inning
