Brewers @ Cubs

will Lackey continue his streak of giving up 1st inning runs?

surprised all the chicago fans haven't completely jumped ship and are bandwagonin the bulls.

>>75311024
no reason for the bulce to win

they need a front office teardown and this bullshit playoff run only delays the fixes that need to be made

The last number of my post is how many Home Runs Eric Thames hits in this series

>that bunt

The cheekiest of bunts right there

>>75311024
Even if they beat Bwaston, the moment they run into Lebran the run ends. Fucker is like what Jordon was to the Bucks in the playoffs.

>>75311024
Maybe because the designated bandwagon team in the NBA is Golden State.

>3-2
>3rd batter
>8 pitches
>9 pitches total
Something ain't right with CSN facts.

the cubs have become fat schlubs running hard in HD

>>75311287
what's it like to have a meme opinion, amigo?

>>75311392
Imagine if you could sill barrel into the catcher, Schwarber would kill a at least one catcher a year.

>>75311086
I'm okay with this

What the ever living fuck is happening? Madden needs to hire another magician. And force Lester to be in one of the acts to make him face his fear.

The fuck happened with Cubs' pitching? And batting?

>>75311563
>>75311628
Lackey is no worse so far this year than he was last year.

The pen looks like shit however, and while it wasnt the biggest strength of the team last season, it wasnt a weakness either.

>>75311086
THAMES THAMES THAMES THAMES

Montero finally gets a hit

>fucking pussy

>>75311673
Did you watch last year? The bullpen was the Cubs biggest liability last year too. Sure bats had their highs and lows, but the bullpen was a dumpster fire. Chapman was a perfect pick up because Rondon shit himself badly soon afterwards.

>>75311747
Only because the Boors fielding was shit.

Montero is slower than Schwarber

by a lot

>>75311800
>Al Almora the 2nd.
Dexter who?

>Get into a duel
>Give up a home run
What the fuck Lackey

it just keeps happening

>>75311800
The Cubs pen ranked 8th of 30 MLB teams in ERA in 2016.

(17th so far in this young season)

>>75312268
ERA means shit if all you need to do is give up 1 or 2 runs in a tight game. Which is what happens.

Bullpen is just shitting itself in much more spectacular fashion this year.

>>75312310
Bullpen better than 70% of the other teams pens.

>its shit

The meme about cusb fans being retarded is actually true.

>>75312363
When you have one job and don't do it, you're shit at it, doesn't matter how many teams are more shit at it, you're still shit at it..

Nice brain problems you got their boor boy.

>>75312434
The 2016 Cubs pen was also 8th in MLB in save percentage

>shit

Stop being retarded.

>>75312481
for comparison's sake, the 2017 Cubs pen is 25th in MLB for save percentage

>>75312481
That's because the offense was monstrous to where they bullpen didn't have a chance to pitch saves because you need to be within a 3 run difference for it to be recorded as suck.

Nice try trying to lie with statistics fagget.

>>75312588
Ok, genius name one aspect of the game where the 2016 Cubs pen was objectively bad.

I'll wait.

>>75312619
Them losing games and needing to get Montgomery and Chapman.

Objective met. Eat it.

>>75312666
The 2016 Cubs pen had 19 losses

3rd fewest in MLB

You are even more retarded than I thought.

>>75312703
19 loses to many.

Stop trying to make people believe low expectations are acceptable.

>>75313112
By every measurable metric they were well above average.

You are a moron.

>>75313138
Only by YOUR metrics, which are clearly subjective.

Nice try faget.

>Can only resort to old and busted reaction images
You might as well post cockmongler if you're going that route.

>>75313265
There's no argument.

You say theyre bad, I ask why, you mention something you think they were bad at, I state the statistics showing they were not in fact bad at what you claim they were.

What more is there?

>The 2016 Cubs pen was pretty decent.

>>75313369
I point out how your statistics are flawed and your response is 'nope!' That's not how it works.

>>75313413
Which statistic was flawed?

Save percentage?
Number of losses?
Era?

Which statistics were you referencing again?

>>75313472
How you cited the Saves and ERA.

Look at the the run differential

>>75313521
how does a bullpen factor into run differential? they dont score runs

what you are interesting in is how many runs they give up? - that's ERA (8th out of 30)

>who panicking here?

>>75313562
Research how saves are done and you won't look like such an uneducated fag.

>>75313598
converted save percentage? also 8th out of 30

Which doesn't matter, you're just clinging at at straws.

Im pretty sure you are retarded, you dont even recognize what makes a bullpen good or bad.

Bullpen doesn't give up runs and wins games = good
Bullpen does give up runs and loses game = bad
HURRR

>>75314063
that's save percentage (8th of 30)

>>75314098
>Not the best

I am getting a bit nervous desu guys the Cubs look fairly shitty

The Cubs are losing because they don't have an elite closer anymore

>>75315493
except they do

Cubs just giving all their energy to the Hawks, who just scored their first goal of the series.

The real season begins after the NHL playoffs

Why did they put Wrigley in a gay neighborhood. What did they mean by this?

>>75315634
They did it because you mother is a whore.

>chubs

laughing SO HARD at the Cubes right now

Well at least your Golden State Warriors and Pittsburgh Penguins are doing well, Cubs fans. Your Patriots look ready to repeat too.

Fuck the cubs

What self-respecting Cubs fan would root for the Penguins?
Fuck Cindy Crosby that little bitch
