Eh, fun to beat up on rookies I guess but I’ll be more excited if we can get through a whole game without giving up a HR or if the bullpen was able to hold a 1 run lead.
Oh I was watching at work and had the volume off. I’ll probably end up buying dumb marked up horsefeathers if he wins MVP that doesn’t even go to charity so good for him haha
Can't throw money at mediocre FA and expect to fix this. We need to get better at developing pitching. The Brewers are doing this with half the payroll. If you want to flex your money pay their whole pitching infrastructure more to come to Chicago.
Webb and the bullpen problems started when Rivas hit that walk off. Part of me wonders if that broke his confidence. It would be so Cubs that a .130 hitter spiraled our season.
You either trot out the same bums and hope someone figures it out or trot out different bums and hope someone figures it out. Neither plan is great but I’m ready to at least try something different.
They'll probably all suck but we gotta do something to shake it up. At least we'll have a sense of hope for like 5 mins before they eventually give up a walk off like the others.
I'm pissed at myself for not betting on a Churio HR after that walk, it was so predictable. Live betting on the other team anytime the Cubs have a lead of 3 runs or less is free money.
Yeah at the time I was pissed he didn't make the change but then understood why after the fact. A 1 run lead just isn't going to hold up with whatever options we do have.
