This is not the worst Cubs team I've had the pleasure of following but its among the most detestable right now. -
lmao game is blown after a balk puts the tying run on 2nd, you cant make this horsefeathers up
-
is he seriously going to keep throwing their best power hitter hangers right over the plate
-
Kind of the Cubs luck lately. He's 2-4 with the 2 outs being the times he had the bases loaded.
-
Are they really going to blow this with 2 outs in the 9th? Pitch around Yelich if you have to.
-
That sequence shows 2 of the Cubs biggest flaws: 1) Our catchers hit like pitchers 2) The Cubs refusal to use Vazquez means that the Cubs have a 4 man bench. 1 bench player was already used, so you're left with Wisdom, Madrigal and Gomes left. If you PH Wisdom or Madrigal (neither are really attractive options to bring a run home from 3rd with 2 outs), you're also burning Gomes, meaning that if the luckiest pitcher in baseball this year fails to hold a 1 run lead, you're left with just 1 bench player for extra innings (2 if you count Vazquez and I'm not sure Counsell does)
-
Damn, that pitcher's spot always comes up at the worst time.
-
Come on HBP or wild pitch
-
I mean it could have mattered if literally any other player on the team did anything offensively in that game. Not his fault that all his teammates failed.
-
And now it appears that they are trying to see if Dansby will get himself out, otherwise they'll take their chances with the pitcher (aka Amaya - who I realize has 2 hits today but come on)
-
Wow you know you're terrible when Michael horsefeathers Busch and his 40% K rate are being intentionally walked to get to you. Insane.
-
Cubs essentially have a leadoff double and are likely not going to score it. Out 1 was ineptitude, out 2 was wildly unlucky. Lets see what out 3 holds for us
-
Nice work Happ /s
-
Neris hasn't pitched in 7 days and hasnt attempted a save in 24 days (I believe)
-
Good job Leiter. Now we just have to survive Neris against the top of the Brewers order lol
-
Damn, we're trusting Leiter to hold this lead? Yikes given his last 2 games.
-
I would have been ok with stretching him if a) the Cubs had more than a 1 run lead, b) the Cubs had shown any sign of life at the plate that would lead me to believe another run was possible, c) the Cubs werent in a 2-9 stretch where they desperately need a win and playing the 1st place team (I know its only May but you should probably avoid falling farther back if you can). In this situation, 1 mistake takes a much needed win into yet another likely heartbreaking loss, and Brown almost threw that mistake in the last inning. On the flip side, is the Cubs bullpen really any better than a fatiguing Ben Brown? It's a good question.
-
Only shocker here is that it took 2 batters to get that 1st hit.
-
Also bonus points if they blow it this inning so I can update my “blown lead in the first inning after the bullpen comes in” stat which I will try to compile if it happens
-
Lmao the cubs are really gonna try to win another game 1-0. well this is a win win for me. Either the Cubs get a really needed victory or I get to update my “blown leads in the 8th or later” stat.
-
Man I wish Brown was more stretched out/the Cubs actually gave him some run support so that we could live with a single mistake. I really don’t think we can afford to keep him in the game any longer, certainly not long enough to finish it off. Then again a fatigued Brown is probably better than anyone in the Cubs pen
-
You know that the Brewers have been biding their time knowing that the Cubs pen will have to pitch at some point
-
Yeah I don’t think our problem is with not finding trash heap guys to be effective relievers, it’s that we try to build the entire bullpen out of them most years.
-
We don’t have a hitter on this team that is even slightly matchup proof. Once a lefty was coming in to face Happ you knew the inning was over
-
I know there’s not an obvious person to move up but I’d seriously consider moving Seiya down until he shows a pulse. He’s so incredibly lost right and it makes me very sad
