    I'm not defending it, but Palencia and Keegan pitched in multiple innings yesterday, Almonte pitched 2 days in a row, Neris 2 in a row and 3 of last 4. If those 4 are all down its either Adbert or Brewer, assuming you are saving Leiter for the 9th.
  2. UMFan83
    Well might as well let him stay in now that its nice and blown
  3. UMFan83
    My finger is itching to make the post. 6 outs away.
  4. UMFan83
    There are no right answers it seems like. Neris is out today, guessing he wanted Leiter for the 9th. I don't like it either but horsefeathers not sure what to even do.
  5. UMFan83
    Yeah thats a big part of it. The offense being in a horrific slump really puts a ton of pressure on the pen to be perfect and even a good pen isnt going to be perfect.

    1 out, no one on base. Still high leverage but a pretty safe situation. The groundball single was unlucky but where's the swing and miss stuff. His confidence is shot but i guess he'll keep getting chances because we have no good bullpen arms.
  7. UMFan83
    And Adbert blows another save
  8. UMFan83
    Yay only gave up a single
  9. UMFan83
    Cant wait until we have some off days so that "Richard Lovelady 8th inning setup man in a 1 run game against the 1st place team" doesnt have to be a regular thing Edit: I just gulped when I realized Adbert was coming in. Prove me wrong.
  10. UMFan83
    my new statistic to obsess about to everyone's annoyance!
  11. UMFan83
    Make that 16 outs on the bases
  12. UMFan83
    hey a run. at least it looks like Morel is coming out of it.
  13. UMFan83
    BTW according to Baseball-Reference, that is the Cubs MLB leading 15th out on the bases this year. We also lead the league in outs at home with 7
  14. UMFan83
    Too many outs on the bases
  15. UMFan83
    This has to be the last game with Mervis. Too late to get Cooper back but there has to be a better option out there.
  16. UMFan83
    Leadoff double stranded because the Cubs cant seem to string 2 hits together in an inning.
  17. UMFan83
    Mervis come on dude
  18. UMFan83
    OK I went back and counted. The Cubs have played 6 extra innings this year. They've had a runner thrown out at home in 4 of those 6 innings.
  19. UMFan83
    What I don't get is that why a team seemingly built to win in the margins seems to be absolutely horrendous at baserunning and has had some pretty high profile defensive lapses. What happened? Is it just a fluke that will correct itself? Or is it just glaring because we've played so many close games.
  20. UMFan83
    I appreciate you saying that. That said, I've been doing this for years. I cant even describe what "this" is but I know when I do it. Most people just ignore me.
  21. UMFan83
    Do you still put an asterisk behind all the HR records after the schedule expanded to 162 games? Either way, just to be extra annoying about it, the Cubs have lost 10 of their last 58 games dating back to last year when they had a lead in the 8th inning or later. If you watched a Cubs game last September or this year, there was a 17% chance you would see them blow a late lead and lose.
  22. UMFan83
    Only 7 more games until we can finally have an off day
  23. UMFan83
    Hmm its a game we had a lead in the 8th inning or later and lost so, yeah
  24. UMFan83
    Stupid series. Could have won 3 of 4, could have lost 4 of 4. 2-2 seems appropriate but damn this team can be frustrating.
  25. UMFan83
    5th game this year we've had a lead in the 8th or later and lost. It's May 2nd
