It’d be nice if TBS gave us an idea who was throwing in the pen

Jay @swenny916.bsky.social · 1d

He’s had several of those where he’s stunned it’s a strike. Maybe protect the zone?

Jay @swenny916.bsky.social · 7d

It doesn’t matter if he’s good or bad. At this point in his career he gets to start every game.

Jay @swenny916.bsky.social · 9d

Should have given him the Terrance Gore treatment.

Jay @swenny916.bsky.social · Sep 1

Can he A) not bunt? B) wanted to be the hero so didn’t want to give himself up or C) both?

Hah, I was being facetious if you couldn’t tell.

Productive out!

Personally don’t love the bunt here. Struggling with control and can’t be easy to bunt 100+

Really is feeling like the short 2020 season. Built a big enough lead to make the playoffs but have no shot.

Jay @swenny916.bsky.social · Aug 15

Crazy that now we need the Reds to lose this weekend. What was the latest date Cubs had the best record in baseball? Doesn’t feel THAT long ago.

Maybe Dusty was onto something talking about certain guys clogging the bases... I didn’t have much faith in him scoring on a double, either.

Jay @swenny916.bsky.social · Aug 15

Somehow feels good to get one there…definitely have shifted my expectation with this offense.

Jay @swenny916.bsky.social · Aug 14

It seemed like a fun story if the team was playing well. Let the kid open his career 30 minutes from home.

Jay @swenny916.bsky.social · Aug 14

It’s actually amazing how well this team hit early in the season. I’m sure the pressure is mounting, but I had zero faith in any of them getting a hit. Pop-up maybe.

Jay @swenny916.bsky.social · Aug 14

Is it sad that it really isn’t that unbelievable? It should be

His throw is built for the turf

It’s just such a bummer. Had optimism after the last game of the Brewers series heading into the all-star break. Then the lackluster all-star break and now this.

Jay @swenny916.bsky.social · Aug 5

Lead-off single and can’t even get it out of the infield the rest of the inning.

Who would have guessed a guy losing velocity the last few starts could get hurt…

Jay @swenny916.bsky.social · Jul 31

This would make a little more sense to me. If he’s starter depth but hopefully in the bullpen and they didn’t have to give up much, why not. If he’s “the guy” it’s disappointing. Hard to judge in a vacuum.

Pretty good leadership by Happ to take himself out today.

Jay @swenny916.bsky.social · Jul 26

Basically on cue, Happ ends the inning.

Jay @swenny916.bsky.social · Jul 18

I’ll admit to knowing nothing about the Red Sox outfield arms, but thought he was going to be out by a mile.

Jay @swenny916.bsky.social · Jul 10

I know it’s just July, but really needed that win to feel a little better about the week.
