SWEEP

 

[isucy86]

I have said it many times, he is this year's version of Pressly. Dude struggles to throw clean innings in late inning situations and his mistakes usually blow up.

Milner seems to be in same boat. For a guy who throws most pitches under 90mph, throws too many non- competitive balls.

Scares me when M&M boys come in.

With this group of relievers, not sure a 4 run lead in 7th is safe!

 

[Cyforce]

Just get one this weekend please.

Outside of one outing where Milner gave up 6 runs, he’s been really good. 38 appearances and 3.53 ERA. He’s given up 14 runs this year and 6 came in that one game.

Maton on the other hand…

Bullpen has had to cover 4 innings (3.2 once) in 4 straight games in 3 days. Rea is going to have to wear it tonight if things go poorly

Cubs got the Mets manager fired.

Cubs got the Mets manager fired.

Ron Santo is up in heaven laughing his tail off. He never got over '69, he hated the Mets with all his being. Late in his broadcast career as his health worsened, he'd skip the NY trip entirely and stay home, he couldn't stomach even being near Mets fans. Awesome.

I like our chances of getting one this weekend even more now.

Getting swept by us should get your manager fired

Well got Miz out after 6 and are up 1. We will see if we can hang on.

I hate this bullpen so much.

I hate this bullpen so much.

Craig LOVES going to them early.

 

[NorthCyd]

Cubs need a 5 run cushion before they go to the pen.

 

[HoustonClone]

Can I tell you how much I hate the Brewers? And hate losing to them even more?

Emphatic NO

 

[Skyh13]

Everyone in this bullpen SUCKS. Not “isn’t very good”, not “bad”, SUCKS.

I’d say sell everyone, but between the NTCs and how meh everybody else is, not sure it’s even worth it.

Thank god there probably isn’t going to be any baseball next season.

 

[BigJCy]

I'm as big of a Hoerner fan as anyone but Good Lord this slump has lasted forever.

Thought that would happen based on his eating 2 innings last night. Plus Murray hasn't shown much in his secondary pitches, just a decent fastball.
