It’s too bad we spent all the way up to the luxury tax and couldn’t improve the pen more. But then again how could we know the pen was gonna be an issue right? Not like every single season has this issue -
That’s a little much, it’s the 6th game. These guys suck right now but we always seem to figure it out somewhat. The problem is that it takes 2+ months to get there and we dig ourselves into a hole that we can’t get out of

Boyd - 5 IP, 0 ER Pen - 2.1 IP, 6 ER Bravo once again Jed
-
Wow
-
I remember last year when I was tracking how many times the pen came in and immediately gave up a run in their first inning of work. Don’t really want to track that again.
-
Can’t believe after this game the Cubs will be flying to Sacramento. So weird
-
Not catching that ball single handedly kept us out of the playoffs and allowed Arizona to win a pennant. (yeah yeah butterfly effect and all that). Dansby has done a lot of awesome things but that one still eats away at me.
-
Part of me gets that there was no one covering 3rd and he was hoping Dansby would make a throw somewhere but if you do that as the tying run with 2 outs in the 9th you’d better make sure you don’t get thrown out
-
lol thanks
-
Throw a strike please. Just not one he can crush…
-
1 more. The only person I’d want up less than Marte is Suarez
-
Can’t wait to follow the Astros bullpen this year to see You know full well he’ll need to get shelled for a month and have at least 1 phantom IL trip before we do something like that
-
Jed Hoyer may not be the bullpen savant he wants us to think he is.
-
Hell yeah Matt Shaw!
-
Belli Bomb!
-
Man I can’t complain about a Sweet 16 appearance after winning 8 games the year before but up 9 with 12 mins left, I started to think we had it. Can’t believe they ended up losing by double digits. probably better for my mental health that Michigan isn’t facing Michigan State for a trip to the Final Four on Sunday though.
-
****** night on the court and on the diamond
-
Oh I see we’re getting thrown out on the run on contact play again
-
0-4 with 3 K yesterday. That tracks. Though he is 1-3 with 0 K today
-
I’m not. But maybe I will by like 9:30

2024-25 Chicago Bulls Regular Season Thread

That's how I pieced it together too. Thought the two 3's was the crazy ending everyone was talking about until I refreshed my feed lol -
2024-25 Chicago Bulls Regular Season Thread
UMFan83 replied to Outshined_One's topic in Other Sports
Clearly the team is very entertaining, and if they can somehow get ahead of Orlando for the 8 seed I think they make the playoffs. I have long been critical of the Bulls embracing mediocrity and still am, but at least this improvement is largely coming from young players and not Lavine and DeRozan pushing the team to near .500. They're nowhere close to being a contender, don't have many avenues for getting the pieces needed to be a contender, and this streak has extinguished almost all hope they can get Flagg or one of the other highly touted top 5 prospects. But horsefeathers at some point you have to allow yourself to enjoy sports and temporarily not let the long term outlook weigh you down. What this Bulls team is suddenly doing is legitimately fun, and we should treat it as such, while still acknowledging AKME kind of sucks and JR is a horrible cheapskate owner making the franchise one of the worst in sports. -
Correct on the technicality that no one knew at the time that the Cubs were slashing payroll by $30m this year.

I hate that I have to be so concerned that our 8th and 9th inning guys on full rest can’t hold a 3 run lead
