Yea, seriously who are we even trusting to get through 5 innings in the WC round ? Then we need to trust the bullpen to get through the other 4 and hope the offense can put up enough runs to cover them.

Right, if theyre out of reviews then they shouldn't even get the time to look at a replay to ask for one

Low baseball IQ in that moment

Yea, normally 4 runs should be enough to win games but with this team you need 6+ on most nights, and if PCA,and Bregman aren't knocking in runs, getting 6+ will be hard with the rest of them

Why is Busch even attempting to steal, 2 outs down 2, no reason to steal second there.... DUMB baseball This team will be lucky to win a WC game

What does that make the cubs if they lose to them tonight with who was probably their best starter on the mound or is it someone else now, keeps changing every week 🙄😅

Cubs will go 9 up 9 down now in these final 3 innings 🙄

You really have to have blind faith if you believe in this pitching staff in the playoffs

Lol, I typed first and it put final 😅

9 games left, 3 teams separated by 1 game. No rest for the Cubs if they want that first WC spot, likely come down to final weekend

Correct, id rather they be able to hit homeruns because otherwise the offense usually has a hard time generating runs without it, and also it doesn't matter where they play with the the cubs pitching, they're likely going to give up a long ball as weve seen all season.

Yep, I knew there was someone else 🤣

I agree, theres 9 games left, just keep giving these guys the ball to work out whatever they need to work on to get ready for the playoffs. Webb, Palencia, Rolison, Zeferjahn and likely Cabrera now will be a huge key in winning if they can get the job done from innings 7-9. Assad, Civale and whichever starter isnt used in the series will get the ball if they need to get 2+ innings in to get to the 7th or 8th inning. The bullpen will more than likely be a huge factor in winning a series or not having a chance

W... and no homeruns given up

Tying run in the hole, a 6 run lead in the 9th isnt even safe for this cubs bullpen
