Especially because while they did solidify last year, they didnt have any depth at all and it cost them their entire season when the top guys got hurt/burned out. And I get that theres promising young talent in the minors but responding to that collapse by adding whatever Almonte is and Neris while losing Fulmer was just perplexing. Hopefully it ends up working out. -
Counsell walking to the mound wishing he had a Hader or Williams to call on, but realizes his options are Neris and Leiter.
-
Go down 1-2-3 and then walk the first Padres hitter on 4 pitches is certainly sub-optimal
-
10 games in and we've already blown a 9th inning lead and lost, blown a 6 run lead in the 8th inning but managed to win, now given up 7 runs in the 6th inning after starting the inning with an 8 run lead. Exciting stuff. Cubs usually figure the pen out eventually (even last year, until they all got burned out), but damn I really wish we did more in the offseason.

This bullpen will be the death of me. 8-7
-
Holy horsefeathers
-
This team is just unreal right now. I know there will be rough patches and all that but this team is super fun when they're on their game.

C'mon Nico

Man it would be so awesome if Billy Donovan went to Kentucky. As a coach of the Bulls he's whatever, but the Bulls just need to do something different and Billy was always more revered in the college ranks.

If Cubs fans don’t chant “Cody” for every future Belli AB they don’t deserve their tickets
-
Make that 2 more runs. Belli!
-
Definitely feel a lot better that since the game resumed the Cubs got another run and they’ve gotten through most of the heart of the Dodgers order once without any damage
-
It does suck that this has to happen when Imanaga was pitching really well and only at 43 pitches through 4 innings. Easily could have gone 7 today and possibly longer
-
It is what it is. I’m not sure what you prefer, the game to be called and restarted or to be finished and tax the pen. It’s just the reality of the situation. The Cubs have an off day Thursday and they are restarting with a 6 run lead and 2 on and 1 out so ideally they can manage this without having to burn the heart of the pen. It’s the dodgers though so we’ll see
-
But I was told to build an ark because there’s no way the game would be played
-
Watch them suspend the game and then the Dodgers score 9 runs when it’s resumed and win
-
I’m trying to think of the last time a Cubs game started and had at least a couple innings played and then was washed out. I’m sure I have to be missing a couple games but the last one I remember is the Eli Marrero game in 2003
-
No sense in being overly pessimistic. If the score was 0-0 I’d agree they may wash it out but at 6-0 they’ll try their hardest to get through the game. The Dodgers have a short trip to Minnesota for a night game tomorrow. The Cubs have a night game on the west coast but given their 6-0 lead will probably be more open to waiting it out
-
It’s really too bad that only the Dodgers had to play in these conditions /s
-
Dammit. Definitely gonna be raining for a quite a bit. Guessing Imanaga will be done unfortunately whenever we resume.
-
I cant remember too many situations where they have the grounds crew come out mid-inning to dry the field but don't actually bring out the tarp and make it an official rain delay. They really want to make sure this game gets in it seems.
-
Do we think Tauchman will keep up that 46.7% walk rate for the rest of the season? (7 BB in 15 PA)
-
This horsefeathers better not be rained out
-
Attaboy Busch!

Belli needs to get going
