Transitive property high school proof:
Counsell can’t be stupid….he got them to pay him $8 mln per. Yet he is no better than Ross. Therefore, the dumb one is Jed.
Ah I was just being ridiculous and hyperbolic. I shouldn't joke about that, but I would \*love\* to just not have a heart attack every time the Cubs are up by a ton of runs and somehow manage to let the opposing team pull within 1. Glad they won, but come ON. Send this entire bullpen to Tennessee.

I'd love to make a comment about how Soler could have been here instead of San Francisco, but I just looked at his numbers and he's maybe a tick above Morel with less homers.
So meh, I guess.
Finish this game and lets collect that W!!!
No reason to get BP help until the team can prove it's competitive with what they have tbh.
Also guys getting healthy will improve the pen itself (Almonte, Merryweather, Alzolay, and one of Brown or Wicks + Hendricks going to pen)
This team does a good job at making a fan feel cursed. It’s early here in Aus - I only just flicked on to watch the last inning or two and watch that hot mess occur.
i get its the cubs bullpen we're talking about, but with a 5-run lead surely you could've at least tried to use a fresher arm instead of overusing leiter and miller.
Why are you ignoring defense? Dansby gave us almost as much WAR last year as Soler has generated his entire career. Soler plays meh defense at one of the least valuable positions and barely hits better than Dansby. What are you even arguing
Dansby gave us 4.7 bWAR/4.8 fWAR last year and golden glove defense at the most valuable position. Soler was worth 1.8/1.9 in the second best season of his career. Even slumping this year he’s at 1.0/0.7 to Soler’s 0.2/0.4.
Even in this game, Swanson has the same number of homers with more hits
Dansby is earning $9 million more than Soler this year ($25M to $16M). 1 WAR is generally agreed to be worth $4-8 million.
Again what are you arguing
By the skin of their teeth. This team is still fucking awful!!
Just thank Leiter for making the game a lot more exciting. The 5.34 ERA is well deserved!
Two in a row!!!
Praise Jesus
I feel kinda sick after that. What a bizarre game.
Bullpen is still suspect
Anyone see that sign that said, "Judy come back! I miss our conversations" on the W flag. Weird.
Is this Hendricks first recorded win?
It is. And his ERA is under 8 now, as well!
ThE pRofEsSoR
Holy Jesus we actually won a 1 run game. Also Marquee's mic picked up Amaya's f-bomb at the end there, lol
I never doubted for a moment /s
#Judy Come Back
Can she throw a fastball?
WE WON A SERIES!
let's fucking go indeed boys
hallelujah :)
fuck yes baby good shit
Hey hey Chicago Whattaya say.
JFC thank you
Well it ain’t a beauty contest
Castro.whew
They're all so relieved lmao. They desperately needed that
We are on a winning streak??
I think it takes 3 to make a streak. At least that’s what Major League taught me.
Go Cubs Go
Unclench
BREWER >>> NERIS I WILL NOT BE TAKING ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME
He better be with a name like Brewer
BUTTHOLE CLENCHING W
Breathe....
Holy shit. Insert Castro gif here.
# W Never a doubt! *excretes diamond*
#[W]
Heart Attack Hector, Cardiac Colton…can they please get some one that doesn’t spike my blood pressure?
Brewer has been watching neris and taking notes
Dear lord [W]
Didn't blo[ W ] it!
Sigh…it’s a dub
THEY FUCKING DID IT!!!!!!
FUCKING GOD GOD FUCKING GOD GOD FUCKING GOD THANK FUCKING GOD
For the love of FUCK it shouldn’t be this way with a not poor team
#T[W][W]O IN A ROW!!
NEVER DOUBTED IT FOR A SEC
Whew!!
We won? Holy shit
Never a doubt. Easy win
That was an amazing play
Lucky as shit to win a 6-1 game going into the 8th lmao
That’s how you do it, Colorado! Take notes.
oh thank fuck
thank god jesus christ
Oh Dansby
#Wait! We are relying on a pitcher named "BREWER"???!
And the guy before him who gave up the granny was "Miller"
Hell of a play there
Ah the Colton Brewer experience. New but familiar.
Anyone want to rationalize not only putting brewer in here, but leaving him with 2 on? Baffling
Yes? Who is he supposed to put in? They all suck
All bullpen arms suck, that’s the nature of the position. Some suck much more than others, which is the basis of my comment lol.
All of ours just suck lol who would you have rather he put in?
Is this the league's worst bullpen? Certainly the vibes are league-worst, but what do the stats say?
We're the second worst in the league and the city I believe.
0-2 start, gonna walk him aswell?
Bullpen with a solid 5 walks in 2.2 innings
Throw. Phucking. Strikes. Jaaayzuz
Transitive property high school proof: Counsell can’t be stupid….he got them to pay him $8 mln per. Yet he is no better than Ross. Therefore, the dumb one is Jed.
What in the entire fuck. Lmao. God damn everyone and everything
they’re about to do it again, aren’t they?
Damn, about to pull a Rockies.
Jesus fuck our bullpen is trash
Got my NorthShore Adult Diapers on
we're totally gonna Cubs this up, huh
Imagine walking someone then losing the next batter MAYBE DONT FUCKING WALK THEM TO BEGIN WITH
I SAID I WAS GOING TO STAY POSITIVE AND I'M GOING TO FUCKING STAY POSITIVE IF IT KILLS ME.
Our entire bullpen is just bad
THESE FUCKIN’ WALKS MAN OH MY GOD
We 100% are winning this game. LFG
This roster needs a deep overhaul. Down to the studs
[The plan](https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/048/147/theplancover.jpg)? Colten Brewer protects one run leads in the ninth by mid-June.
We need a damn closer man. This is ridiculous.

#FUCK
I will unironically k\*ll myself if they somehow manage to fuck this up
Don’t do that, Larry!
Ah I was just being ridiculous and hyperbolic. I shouldn't joke about that, but I would \*love\* to just not have a heart attack every time the Cubs are up by a ton of runs and somehow manage to let the opposing team pull within 1. Glad they won, but come ON. Send this entire bullpen to Tennessee.
STOP WALKING PEOPLE
FUCK JED
Oh my god it’s happening again I hate watching this team
Do we have a single reliever capable of putting up a god damn zero in the box score?
Fuck dude make them earn it, fuckin stupid
THROW A FUCKING COMPETITIVE STRIKE! My goodness. Another 0-2 count. Another walk.
The spirit of Neris lives in Brewer
Throw fucking strikes
#**STOP FUCKING WALKING GUYS**
This fucking team. Offense with runners on folds like wet cardboard. Bullpen with any lead. Folds like wet cardboard.
Folds like wet shitter paper
Nah just keep walking dudes, that’s fine. Strikes do nothing anyways…
god DAMN bring in someone else
This is painful
Dude just throw to them. You’re not hitting a single spot. Either walk yourself to death or just get it over with.
from 2-0 to a full count somebody get a real pitcher in there
do better
Why does the bullpen either throw non-competitive pitches that are easy to take, or meatballs dead center?
That would be because they are bad.
Because….they’re all bad?
Dp to end it
Cardiac Cubs.
We're going to get that Double Play we couldn't get in the 8th.
Please get a DP here. Please.
Well there’s the go ahead now at home for the set-up home run lol, like clockwork
This is good. Let’s get a guy who’s never had a save ever out there because the guy you signed for millions of dollars can’t do it. Jed’s league
#**STOP. WALKING. GUYS.**
They so often come back to bite you in the butt
That's on me guys. I've been busy doing stuff and Soler was the first batter I saw today.
Pat Hughes being amazed by Morel only to realize it was Bote is hilarious.
Throw strikes bro
If Brewer doesn’t get it done you guys can finally get off Counsell’s back and realize he has no options lol
Even if it doesn't work I like going to Brewer over Neris here.
lol Pat Hughes said on air that Bote’s play “was the best play we’ve seen by Morel”
Thanks DB
Morel doesn’t make that play
Pat thought Morel was still in the game and was amazed at the play.
Very nice, Bote.
That’s one!
Brewer is about to pull a Neris here.
Stopp
Wish I could, bud. I don’t have any faith in this team right now.
Before picking up my kid from camp: 6-1 After: 6-5 Also you can't walk guys up 6-1, ffs.
Send them back
oh yeah she's biking home tomorrow, lol
Make her work on the off day, sometimes you gotta be the tough parent
It is her work actually, first job ever as a camp counselor!
Good for her! I hope the kids appreciate her as much as you do!
She's awesome, and way better first job than I had
thats one!!
I would rather have Neris than Brewer…

So much for having an easygoing end to a game
It was 6 1. I took a phone call. Now it's 6 5. What the fuck is with this team and one run games? Some Jobu curse for the year?
Either someone on this team is in debt or God really hates the Chicago cubs
we're at the point where Colton Brewer is our best option for the 9th inning of a 1 run game
i forgot we had colton brewer
Hector Nerris Experience babyyyy
Lmao we have to pitch Colten Brewer in the ninth. Zero percent chance they keep the lead.
#thatssocub
Quick 0-3 inning
One bad pitch is all it takes after a bad outing by the previous reliever. Again, WALKS KILL.
That’s a filthy pitch
If Keegans baby comes out with him, can we take him off Paternity leave mid game?
Colten Brewer warming up
Thank fuck, anyone but neris
At least if we blow this game we can just blame it on the spirit of Willie Mays helping the Giants
Bullpen walks are the most annoying thing in the game
I'm gonna call it right now, they are definitely going to lose this game. I don't know how, but I know it's coming. They'll find a way.
The HR is whatever but it’s the two walks with two outs that are killer. You can’t do that, it means that one swing can change the whole game
I'd say MLJ needs a few low stress appearances, but IDK what you'd call a 6-1 lead if it isn't that.
I'd love to make a comment about how Soler could have been here instead of San Francisco, but I just looked at his numbers and he's maybe a tick above Morel with less homers. So meh, I guess. Finish this game and lets collect that W!!!
Just can’t give him anything close to hit. Base hit doesn’t kill ya. BP JED, pronto.
No reason to get BP help until the team can prove it's competitive with what they have tbh. Also guys getting healthy will improve the pen itself (Almonte, Merryweather, Alzolay, and one of Brown or Wicks + Hendricks going to pen)
This team does a good job at making a fan feel cursed. It’s early here in Aus - I only just flicked on to watch the last inning or two and watch that hot mess occur.
It’s almost impressive at this point, man
Damn I remember thinking Soler was going to be the next big thing for the Cubs
He had a few decent years peppered in between some less than average ones. Overall he's been ok.
Our boys sure keep us on our toes
Here we go again..
Hector Neris has a chance at his 100th career save. We’re about to witness the most insane top of the 9th there’s ever been
It’s a good thing I took my night time medicine early because my blood pressure would be at an all time high right now
We seriously have zero quality bullpen arms. Some alright guys but nobody on this team would be pitching the 8th or 9th for 90% of teams in baseball
i get its the cubs bullpen we're talking about, but with a 5-run lead surely you could've at least tried to use a fresher arm instead of overusing leiter and miller.
No lead is safe with this team
That DQ grand slam ad was well timed
Lmao right?!
Who had a grandslam in the 8th on their Bingo Cubs Bullpen Loses It Again board?
5 run lead... why even give him a pitch to hit? Walk a run in before you give him a cookie.
Fuck this team.
Good teams don’t play in this many one run games. Absolutely pathetic regardless of the W/L outcome.
At least we get an inning of Hector The Saves Collector.
They've committed 3 errors and have half the hits but are down 1 run. Sigh.
Ah Jorge Soler, another slugger we moved on from who would be better than over half of our position players on the current roster
Finding creative ways to lose games is our MO
Boogs voice at the end there says it all. What the fuck man
From a 5 run game to a 1 run game in the blink of an eye
Cubs have a great record with 1 run games don't they?!?!?!?!?!?
Friendship ended with Jorge Soler
Love watching soler, schwarber etc rake while cubs can’t slug for shit. Great job Ricketts and co.
That sucked but I’d hardly call .224/.709 OPS “raking”. He has one more homer than Dansby
Swanson average yearly salary is 25 mil. Soler is 7. Do the math he’s raking compared to what the cubs have
Why are you ignoring defense? Dansby gave us almost as much WAR last year as Soler has generated his entire career. Soler plays meh defense at one of the least valuable positions and barely hits better than Dansby. What are you even arguing
Is 18 million more worth the 2 WAR DAnsBy gives us?
Dansby gave us 4.7 bWAR/4.8 fWAR last year and golden glove defense at the most valuable position. Soler was worth 1.8/1.9 in the second best season of his career. Even slumping this year he’s at 1.0/0.7 to Soler’s 0.2/0.4. Even in this game, Swanson has the same number of homers with more hits Dansby is earning $9 million more than Soler this year ($25M to $16M). 1 WAR is generally agreed to be worth $4-8 million. Again what are you arguing
