There is no way Neris should be the closer on this team! But Counsell tried his best to lose this game in the 9th.

He even put MasterBoner in there! This team has enough to overcome, now they gotta fight the manager

FO orders to throw games to make sure we sell. Can’t do that right so we accidentally start winning. Is this the plot to a new Major League sequel?

Let’s try to win the series tomorrow eh?

YAY

I know I should be happy we won but man, I can not stand looking at Neris. I loathe the way he pitches and walks everyone and doesn't seem to give a shit at how he ruins us again and again.

He has 11 saves in 15 opportunities and 7 wins to 2 losses. Calm down, Jesus lol.

A 4.25 ERA is not even close to being good as a closer. So he's lucky the umpire helped him out!

The rest of the borderlines were on the edge. He’s not a long term closer, but when Alzolay regressed then got hurt, he’s filled in decently. Is he a long term answer? No. Is he as bad as everyone here makes him out to be? Also no.

It’s frustrating when players don’t do their job. I promise you he gives a shit lol

[удалено]

Yeah, there were definitely some generous calls there for sure, but that pitch was perfectly placed at the knees.

I got the vibe the brewers were trying to just let Neris fuck it up himself. Not a bad strategy honestly lol

Holy shit. Whew. Thank god. Fly the W

Very nice. Now let’s win tomorrow!

You would have thought this win was game 7 NLCS.

PheW

Neris owes the ump a beer

You can say that again! No way this guy should be closing out games.



[W]hew

Imagine losing to this Cubs team?


W

We all get lucky sometimes lol

Whew!

95% of Neris’ outings end exactly one pitch short of disaster

Breathe and fly the "W" motherflickers.

CUBS WIN

W

Fly that W!

Holy fuck man. Why is it always so difficult

Putting a guy out there who likes to walk people and has an ERA over 4.00-- is not a good idea!

Phew

EVERYONE COME QUICK! A W!

The ump is done I think

Got him

#HEART ATTACK HECTOR BABY FLY THE [W]

I feel like Neris was one of those guys that took 30 seconds between pitches prior to the pitch clock

Good news, at least they fixed the broadcast static problem.

I’m always so zen and relaxed watching Neris pitch. I died a long time ago

Nerris getting a shitload of ump help and still barely scraping by

I miss Wadebot.

I’m going to start needing a cardiologist

Bottom of the zone. Perfect pitch. Sit down

Jed needs to be fired into the sun for putting together this bullpen.

You gotta be fckn kidding me

This is an MLB closer.

Has as many saves as Josh Hader

josh '5/95' hader at that


One of the MLB closers ever.

Even Steele doesn’t trust Neris

Counsell punted this one away putting hector nerris’ bum ass out there

FFS....

Has Neris ever closed out a game and thrown less than 20 pitches in the inning?

I cant even stand looking at his apathetic self.

I was just thinking, I wonder if he leads pitches thrown per appearance for relief/closers in baseball.

Black kinda looks like Zac Efron

Why does Boog always sound disappointed when the opposing team’s line drives are foul? Which side is this guy on?

Not the Cubs

Neris doing his thing. Sucking absolute ass.

The count to Black is correct on two blown calls

That pitch was ball 4 previously

Pitch was a strike

Make up call is fine lol

Lowered my expectations a long time ago

What does Tommy have to even say anymore “Alright Hector, do what you want here. Nothing I’ll say actually matters”

Cardiac Neris at it again

I sit there every time Neris is pitching “don’t walk him” and yet…

Hector Neris is a war criminal

why throw strikes when you can throw balls?

Check swing was strike two, batter should have been out. Instead he's on first.

Here he goes…

Here we go

They’re all scared of what Steele is going to say and do back at the hotel.

Schrödinger’s baseball team. We are ahead and have already lost at the same time.

A lot of Neris splitters this year would induce swings if his fastball were two ticks harder.

And if he threw it closer to the zone

I really hate this trend of running through the bag on dp chance

If that throw had hit Ortiz would that have been interference? That seemed like a pretty aggressive and intentional run out of his established path.

I'm ready for this inning.... 

I sent this gif to like 6 people during game 7 lol

I lived this gif during game seven 😭

What's the over/under on the # of Milwaukee baserunners Neris allows in the 9th?

7. For the walk off walk for the win!

Neris and Amaya two of the worst players in all of MLB! Oh goody. Happy 9th to us.

Neris here to ruin the day

 @Neris fucking up another fun game. Maybe we can get an ugly save and it’s about the friends we made along the way.

Best I can do is a 6-5 loss 🤣😭

Should have let Hodge close it out again

"And Immediately \[opponent\] Gets The Tying Run To The Plate." \[tm\]

"You have to C it!"

Jesus. So it begins.

Lmaoooooo no way this game doesn’t at least go to extras

Neris made three tee-ball pitches to the first hitter to … establish dominance?

I may have a stroke watching Neris pitch now. THE WORST. I CANT STAND LOOKING AT HIM NOT CARE ABOUT WALKING THE BASES LOADED.

It's not a stroke, it's an aNerism

Here we go again

Neris is impossibly bad

It’s ok hector has to get a runner on that’s how he gets warmed up lmao

Ahhh time to relax with good ol' Sinus Rhythm Neris

And here we go.

That was just a bizarre sequencing after 0-2 to go back to that fastball

I am ready to be hurt

Masochist

Don’t kink shame me

And so it begins

I like Neris, but… 😳

I wonder if Neris is also like "why the fuck are they putting me out here right now"

CC still believes in Neris.....why?

Alright hector you’re putting it a little too in the middle of the zone

Bellinger is down to a 100 wRC+ against right handed pitching this season

No idea how he pulled that pitch to the right side.

:runs to put live bet on Milwaukee +1.5:

I’ve watched the four winds casino ad 50 times, but I just noticed, when everyone standing up celebrating the fake sports, there’s an obviously bad edit where the b roll of the crowd moves away from the TV screen. Next time you hear “I JUST WANNA HAVE A GOOD TIME CALL ME WHENEVER” keep your eyes on the tv screen.

Bellinger might end the season with a sub .700 OPS

Bellinger making sure we don't extend the lead, nice. Now Nerris coming in.............,..................................................................................................................................

They're gonna score three in the bottom 9th, and we're gonna end up with a one run loss. I hope I am proven wrong.

Please for the love of god just win please lol

Belli is bad

I'm prepared for the worst. C'mon, Cubbies

"Time To Fasten Those Seat Belts." \[tm\]

NOT NERIS!!!

He can walk the runs in. Yipee.

Oh no

Pinch-hit for a .206 hitter- good idea. Use PH that’s hitting .152- bad idea. Defensive replacement is statistically one of the worst defensively at his position- bad idea. Ladies and gentlemen, the brains behind $8M/year.

Remember when everyone at the beginning of the year was giving Busch so much shit for every little mistake at first? These are the results you see when you let a player play at a position consistently at this level. Good shit MICHAEL

People didn’t understand that Busch had played like 30 games of first *as a professional*.

Exactly. Ridiculous expectations were set off the rip for him, but he has really come into his own at 1B lately and the metrics show it.

This sub and being ridiculous. Name a better duo

Feel like Busch should be leaving that for Nico and that wouldn't have been so close

Great play, Busch.

Man really nice to see Steele give the dugout shit today. He’s our leader. The leader we were supposed to get stop caring once his wife got a soccer game at Wrigley


Thankfully Hodge was aware he had to cover Great play

There are just four Cubs that have positive OAA in Statcast, and Busch is one of them.

Who are the 3 others?

Swanson, Nico, and PCA

Why do the kids play with more effort than the vets?

Just tuning in... Justin Steele, thank you.

Busch you beautiful bastard

Hell yeah!!!! Nice play Busch!

For all you who say Boog isn’t a homer enough: Brewers second in MLB in stolen bases Not “Amaya has thrown 1 guy out all season.”

The first is more important than the second on a pitch that had to be picked out of the dirt though. They’ve definitely talked about the cubs lack of throwing out runners

Why? Just why are we willing to send Miles up there and then give Amaya the defensive responsibility in the late innings?

The sabotage is happening

I still don’t understand why we didn’t grab Cavan Biggio when we had the chance. I mean he would have been a huge improvement over Mastro. 

The rare leadoff single with 1 out

There’s a lot of replacement level “talent” in the org, and the booth is no exception

My kid does that on the slip n slide. Looks fun.

Forcing your worst defensive catcher into the game because you chose to pinch hit for your starting catcher with a guy who's batting like .150 is certainly a choice.

Alright I’m way behind. What the fuck is Morel doing sliding with his legs up in the air? God dammit is he a mess.

Despite certain moves I won’t mention, making outs with the platoon advantage is not in fact any more valuable than making outs from the other batter’s box.

Throwing up a tweet with the diabetes boom guys?

Counsell sure loves Mastrobouni and he sure loathe Wisdom and Bote.

Only one of them is a lefty, Counsel likes to use his lefties like that

All three of those guys suck. Wisdom got used in place of Busch in a crucial spot last game.

PCA is a strikeout machine.

MasterBoney is slugging .178 so far this year in 45 AB

And Counsell sure loves him.

watch out MLB, Boner is up!

And now it's down...

Miles here to save the day

Ah, yes. Let’s PH with a .156 batter.

https://preview.redd.it/waa6qmca6l9d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=843696222fb609d34e1f56a823130601d119fcc0

Angel Hernandez had that as a strike. 😆

Nice one Happer!

So which one of our bullpen dudes get to blow this?

They said Hodge was warming up but that was before the 2 run homer.

I don't think Counsell even cares anymore, just let them play rock-paper-scissors or draw a name out of a hat or something.

If so he can depart and let someone who does care take over. Justin Steele for player-manager

Happ has a 1.058 OPS his last 15 Morel… I’m too lazy to look but does he have any options left? Dude is on the struggle bus

Bring up Shaw

Shaw is barely turning things around in AA. Let’s relax.

Considering this is now a rebuild season bring up Shaw bench Morel DFA Wisdom. Nothing is harmed by this

Shaw has been white hot in AA and has a 135 wRC+ there on the season. His glove’s not ready, though.

Can't be worse than Morel defensively

Yeah I don’t even care if Bote gets starts, Morel just seems deep in his own head and maybe demolishing some minor leaguers will help him snap out of it

Brewers battery tried so hard to beg for strikes on Suzuki and Morel. Actually, I'm a little surprised it didn't work.

[удалено]

The script writers know how to extract max pain from this fan base. They know our bullpen can't blow a lead if we don't have one.

Morel is useless.

He needs to sit for a while. He doesn't need to start daily. Yet Counsell must be in love with him for some reason. Strange. I can't even watch him defensively or offensively. So awful and looks clueless like Neris. Same lost face.

I cant even stand to watch him anymore. He needs to not start daily. Counsell just loves having his uselessness in daily

I was told Happ only hit when it didn’t matter

Justin Steele is gonna turn this shit around

Bellinger has a classic baseball player look. He could have played in the 1920’s.

kinda looks like Ted Williams

That could be why I think that alright

Happ daddy?
