IST: Cubs @ Braves — Road trip continues

[TL1961]

Gotta love a relief pitcher who walks the leadoff man with a 2 run lead!

 

[TL1961]

Who's the bigger beanpole contest - Cishek or pitching coach.

Here we go.....

Bullpen gonna blow another one?

Nothing annoys me more in baseball than the leadoff walk.

 

[TL1961]

Anyone - make that everyone - doing the tomahawk chop should be shot.

Too extreme?

 

[jooo83]

Craig Kimbrel sure would look good on this team. Too bad billionaire Tom Ricketts can't afford him.

 

[TL1961]

As my dad would say, "Joe, what time does the game start?"

Why pull a wild pitcher before the bases are loaded? WTF?

 

[TL1961]

Steve, go agead and walk 'em full with nobody out, and then I will bring in the Gopher Ball squad

 

[Bigfoot]

Pulled him one batter to late. Should have yanked him after Acuna

 

[chibears55]

Lol....
My 85 win prediction might be too high

Told y'all this bullpen sucks ass, dont know how some of you really thought theyd be better then last year

 

[TL1961]

2 run lead, and lost with ONE guy making contact.

 

[chibears55]

After this weekend, Cubs could be like 6 - 7 games out before they even play 10 games

This bullpen is simply atrocious. Next time Lawrence Holmes interviews Maddon maybe he should ask why his bullpen is so bad instead of the fluff bullshit. He interviewed him for 30 minutes and never asked a question about why the bullpen sucks so bad. He was more interested in the "inview" vs the "outview" How about just asking how come his bullpen is horrible? This is 3 games this bullpen has given away and nobody has been found culpable. ......another excuse from Maddon

Shit for brains, I posted that ESPN said that. Dicklick

And then you crowed over it, because you are the most gullible bivalve on the planet.

 

[reggie_love]

can we bring back hector rondon? this team is going to be a disaster

Are you a native Indian? If so you might have a case.

 

[truthbedamned]

This bullpen fucking sucks. Period.

 

[chibears55]

I'll give it to May if nothing changes that Maddon will be the scapegoat and fired

 

[Bigfoot]

Difference between 4-1 and 1-4 our bullpen. I knew they were going to be suspect this year, but never thought it would be this bad.

Not sure if anyone said better. The pen has been weak for a long time now. Even in 2016 they had to trade their top prospect to address it. 2017 they traded Soler to address it again. Then they invested heavy and again came up short.

All said and done Kintzler looks pretty good again. Saving grace.

Rest are shit to date. Cishek walking to bases loaded is unacceptable
