Saving bullets for Horton. Just going to have 3 innings and 29 pitches in 2 weeks when he opens up the Playoffs it appears.

They are really going to need to let him throw 85-95 pitches come playoffs

Yeah my only concern is hope he is still sharp with that little of pitching leading up to that game.

Has anything on the tv broadcast been said to confirm Horton being pulled is pitching count management? Radio said Soroka got extra time to warm up so they’re assuming it’s an injury of some sort

JD was thinking the blister popped back up

 

[BigJCy]

Geez

 

[HoustonClone]

Just gross, Cubs. Do you want home field advantage?

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

That bullpen is gonna get us sweeped in wildcard series lol

 

[cyatheart]

Some of these bullpen guys just can't be used in the playoffs

Padres up 4-0 early on the Brewers.

 

[HoustonClone]

We are toast.

I wouldn’t be shocked to see the Cubs lose out. Team is lucky that it doesn’t matter.

I’ve been of the mind for quite a while that a wild card appearance is the furthest they can go, just sorta feels that way.

They were pretty much handed home field advantage as of a week ago. Doing everything they can to collapse. Still in the drivers seat, but the demeanor of this team.....well....it sucks.

 

[cyatheart]

Man this is really amazing. Total collapse.

 

[Skyh13]

Hilariously bad. Pretty much why I stopped watching weeks ago, but we have visitors who want to watch.

 

[515Clone]

I'm sure you will watch next week.

 

[Clonefan32]

I’ve never loathed I team I also root for the way I loath this team.

 

[chuckd4735]

Bats woke up tonight which made me happy to see. This is probably a different outcome if Horton could go 6.

 

[cyatheart]

Going to go down to the wire now. I'm not sure it matters what wild card it is. Team just looks worn out.
