9th time in the last 11 seasons we've hit that mark at some point. Every year except 2022 and 2024. -
4-2 against the Marlins is acceptable. We stole one from them and they stole one from us.
-
Third one was also a little scary
-
Second one also looked scary off the bat
-
Granted I'm watching on my phone so its small but I thought that was gone off the bat.
-
I know it was 2 outs but that was an awful send. I actually turned my head away from my phone once I saw how hard it was hit assuming it was 1st and 3rd with 2 outs. Hopefully the extra inch that would have made Busch's double a HR won't matter...
-
Wow that's close, damn
-
3 outs to go but Cubs killer Derek Hill is due up 4th in the 9th
-
Right, it would have been silly to give him a rehab stint. But at the same time it's not terribly surprising that he looks a bit off. He'll be fine and soon.
-
6 hits allowed in 2.1 IP for Horton
-
wait lol his xFIP over that stretch is 2.52?!? that's kind of wild
-
Weathers is the best pitcher in baseball. 10 IP, 2 ER this year against the Cubs
-
Yep. And I saw Amaya set up outside and motion for Palencia to put the slider off the plate. I assumed it was either going to be ball 1 or he would chase and strike out. Instead it just hung there over the plate. Gah what a terrible loss. One that every team has every year but still doesn’t make it suck less
-
seems like the 9th inning double that Tucker couldn’t get to was around a 50% catch probability. Looked like he just took a bad initial route to the ball otherwise he catches it and the Cubs win. Baseball is a game of inches.
-
Apparently the game winning hit had the highest WPA of any hit in baseball this year. 83.1%
-
With the news about Hodge I won’t critique him for that move as harshly. Needed to try to secure the win and there’s really not a ton of trustworthy relievers. You hope he gets a quick clean inning and you don’t need him the next 2 days because we’re winning by a bunch. Almost happened
-
Welp won’t be seeing him anytime soon.
-
He’s made some good catches this year but also some times where I’ve wondered how he’s graded out as such a terrific fielder historically.
-
But I mean Palencia pitched Friday, Saturday and warmed up Sunday. Seems like a weird time to try him out to close a 1 run game. that said it was 6-7-8 in the order and he was 1 strike from shutting them down in order. bottom line is there are no easy answers when you don’t have reliable bullpen guys.
-
0-2 2 outs no one on and he throws a hanging slider over the heart of the plate to the 8th place hitter and then walks the 9th hitter on 4 pitches. Unreal
-
Tucker could have had that and palencia pitching 3rd time in 4 days and was warming up yesterday was bad.
-
1 strike away from one
-
Ugh hanging 0-2 slider with 2 outs in the 9th. Time to sweat a bit
-
I was just thinking about how good this offense could be once Tucker starts hitting again
-
3 more outs away from a nice little win.
