  1. Busch, Amaya, PCA. Please just swing for the fences or something lol. I can't deal with fake baseball tonight.
  2. For reference, take a look at Ian Happ
  3. This is Neris' 15th appearance this year. He's only successfully kept a runner from getting on base in 1 of those 15 appearances. Edit: He's now allowed 2+ baserunners in 7 of his 15 appearances despite never pitching more than 1 IP in any appearance this year.
  4. Sucks they couldnt do more with 1st and 3rd and 0 outs but I'll take the run. We've hit decently tonight....baserunners in 7 of the 8 innings so far, just bad sequencing to only have 2 runs scored.
  5. Love how the Padres offense was from a 85mph .210 xBA single and a HR that only goes out at Wrigley and whatever Miller Park is called now.
  6. Completely understand that. I'm just saying there are no right answers right now.
  7. You are just desperately looking for horsefeathers to pile on your game thread righteousness arent you? what dont you get about "they are keeping their heads above water right now but the trend is very similar"
  8. The Padres arent particularly annoying to me, its the Cubs being unable to hit or pitch with their bullpen that is annoying. Doesn't matter who we're playing.
  9. lol everyone yelling at Craig to keep the starters in because the bullpen sucks, he does and now people are mad he didnt trust his pen. Can't win.
  10. This is 2023 all over again. They started 14-10 in April, then the offense went into a tailspin and the bullpen was bad. This team is keeping their heads above water but the trend is very similar to me.
  11. If we don't come back this will be the 7th game we've lost while leading in the 8th inning or later (you knew that was coming) 19% of our games this year, nearly one out of 5, will be of that variety
  12. It shows you how much we don't trust our pen right now.
  13. Ugh really tough play but I'm used to Nico making those.
  14. If for some reason the Cubs retired the Padres 1-2-3 in the 8th, Neris would be facing the 3-4-5 guys in the order in the 9th, presumably still nursing a 1 run lead.
  15. They have literally no other choice but to allow 0 runs. That's 30 consecutive scoreless innings from the Cubs starters
  16. That was a tough throw for Morel. Should have just held onto it knowing his issues with accuracy and Busch's extreme issues with catching the ball. But I'll take the result lol
  17. We wouldnt have to worry about whether we should extend our starters beyond what Counsell is comfortable with if our offense could score a couple freaking runs to give us some cushion. This is so damn frustrating.
  18. Maybe the 2nd and 3rd games. Doubt they’ll tee off on Jared Jones but maybe he’s due to regress.
  19. Tick tick tick, bullpen time is swiftly approaching
  20. Sure we can. Those bastards rigged it so we wouldnt get Bedard and Celebrini 😆
