Worlds quickest half inning - good for sleep, bad for recovery time between Cubs stressful bullpen innings. -
Luckily? Didn’t he walk him either way? 😂
-
Not sure how he got out of it with just 1 run allowed but I’m not sure I can survive the 9th lol
-
Is this “nice job getting out of a really tough situation!” or “of course he gets 2 outs and then blows it”?
-
I’m not sure who to get mad at. The actual pitchers, the coaching staff, Jed for not adding more depth, bad luck from injuries or all of the above. But this is a super frustrating stretch of no one throwing strikes. now Almonte does not even have to throw to ball to get balls
-
Ahh yes back to pitchers who can’t throw strikes which is every one in the pen that isn’t Leiter or Adbert
-
Dammit Dansby. I know that’s a tough play but we pay you big money to drive in runs and especially to make plays like that more often than the average fielder. I know I’m irrational but he really frustrates me dating back to last September
-
Seriously. I really need to go to bed and this game has just crawled along while yesterdays was extra innings. Can you guys do this crap when you aren’t playing in the pacific time zone?
-
Twice today we’ve had a runner on 3rd and 1 out and haven’t gotten him in. Hopefully that stat does not haunt us
-
Leiter starts against Carroll and hopefully after he gets him out I guess Almonte with Adbert warming in case he gets in trouble? edit: horsefeathers TT said the exact same thing almost word for word before me lol. That is literally the highest honor and I swear I didn’t copy him
-
Wow that was wonderful. Amazing how different everything felt as soon as Leiter came in
-
Ugh. Can we use the good pitchers yet?
-
Dont you hate it when you load the bases with 0 outs and only get 6 runs?
-
So that was pretty good. Ian raking against lefties is something, as is Busch having several solid PAs against them
-
Rationality in game threads is not my strong suit as you all know 😂
-
Was sooo close to typing up my “not a big fan of how cooper has looked” post
-
This is where you really miss a guy like Seiya in the middle of the order to grind out a great AB and put pressure on the pitcher
-
Ok please score at least 1 here. Pretty please
-
Damn just missed a bases clearing double
-
Would be a good time for Cubs fans at the park to chant Cody
-
Well now there’s no more high leverage situations because the rookie with no control came in with the bases loaded and wildly allowed 4 runs to score with a series of wild pitches walks and hits. is it not at least somewhat like the concept of saving your closer for a save situation in extra innings on the road? You don’t have a save situation if the opponent scores off your crappier pitcher before the closer can be used. No guarantees there will be another bases loaded 1 out situation with the Cubs nursing a 1 run lead with a lefty due up again. Of course you have to get outs and I get what he’s trying to balance between managing to win this game and managing to win long term and that because of that you are occasionally gonna have to bite the bullet and use a less reliable pitcher in a situation you don’t really want to, I just don’t understand that particular decision to use that particular pitcher in that spot.
-
Make it horsefeathers stop already. Seems like Counsell is basically punting this game by keeping Little in when he clearly has nothing. Tired pen and a day game tomorrow I suppose…
-
This was the inning to use Leiter. Gets lefties out at a high clip, much more reliable pitcher, potentially your highest leverage spot in the game. I really don’t understand this horsefeathers from Counsell
-
And after that wonderfully fun half inning we’re right back to where we started, down 3 runs
-
Quite the inning for Amaya even if some of those are on Little. Yikes
