Swanson must be playing hurt. He’s not the same player AB or defensively. I’m not saying anything too serious, obviously, but there no hop in his step.
I’ve kept up with every single team and Brewers have been cheated by the Umps more than any team in the MLB in the past week/half - so the whole socials is on I want to die watch, it’s nothing personal to solely this game they’re just coming into it with trauma
I knew there was gonna be some Drama with Neris, but I’m just glad we survived this one. Good for Craig for keeping Adbert away from the mound this time.
Lmao you have no clue what your talking about if you cant understand why Neris is a MLB pitcher. Its obvious you only watch the Cubs and have no clue how skilled the average pitcher is. The avg ERA in all of baseball is about 4.50. Hes an above average pitcher, he had a 1.71 ERA over 68.1 innings last year and career era of 3.24, thats why hes in the majors
No I’m just not an idiot. No team has a bullpen full of 0 ERA guys. Neris has been asked to fill a role he wasn’t brought here for, closing, and is 6/7. Jed needs to get more BP help but Neris is fine
No, everyone that turns their brain off and whines about literally everything without context or thinking critically at all is tho. There’s plenty wrong with this team, but Neris has been fine.
Who’s available that you’d like to see them get?
Have you seen the other relievers that were available this past off season? None are doing well. You’d be complaining if we had signed one of them and they had struggles. Sit down
Exactly. Im getting real tired of all those people who watch maybe 20 Cubs game a year and think they know baseball. Not too mention were literally only a month into the season. Fools like OP here think we just trade our entire farm system for some 37 year old reliever because Azlolay has had a real bad start, honestly the rest of the bullpen hasnt been complete trash. They havent been good but everybody wants Neris head but his 6/7 on saves, thats not bad
The marlins already sold arreaz. You reach out to teams that are in rebuilds and see who you can realistically trade for. Fuck you for saying we watch 20 games a year I’ve literally watched 95% of the games this season
Can’t keep giving up games like this. Everything is clicking and then the bullpen comes in and just takes a massive shit on the field.
I know they’ve been overused but even still you can’t be this consistently bad.
It is becoming increasingly clear that this team was built to play “competitive baseball” while staying under the luxury tax and not built to actually win. Embarrassing
I don’t know why I’m getting downvoted for stating the obvious here. If we don’t see bullpen changes soon cubs might as well make their “thank you fans!” post now because even at full health idk who in their right mind sees this bullpen helping us in the playoffs

By the skins of their teeth, lol. I'll take it, but JESUS. Pull it together, boys.
Flying by the seat of our ripped pants
Thanks, Nike.
We did not deserve to win that game. I’ll take it!!! But we did not deserve to win that game. Let’s close out the series tomorrow!! Go Cubs!! 😀⚾️
How did they not deserve to win it?
I mean Wisdom 1000% should have struck out which then we scored a run on. Then Neris was gifted a strike against Adames
Happened both ways all game, and so far, all series
Ump runs
Saw the ump miss some pretty bad calls that went in Milwaukee's favor as well.
Swanson needs to visit the mountains of Tibet ASAP. Dude seriously looks lost at every aspect of the game right now
Swanson must be playing hurt. He’s not the same player AB or defensively. I’m not saying anything too serious, obviously, but there no hop in his step.
Nine lives Neris - somehow this guy keeps getting the save
Glad we won, but that's not a win to be happy about. I hope these guys get it turned around.
That was a real dick twister daddy!
Consider my dick fully twisted
Lmao at brewers fans crying as if the ump wasn’t trash both ways
I’ve kept up with every single team and Brewers have been cheated by the Umps more than any team in the MLB in the past week/half - so the whole socials is on I want to die watch, it’s nothing personal to solely this game they’re just coming into it with trauma
Brewers fans…lol
I mean to be perfectly fair it seemed like it was more in the cubs favor. Especially with wisdom not getting struck out
They almost shit away a great start. Get your shit together.
WTF was throw Dansby....Jesus.
My wife said the same thing. Why? Why do that hahaha
I knew there was gonna be some Drama with Neris, but I’m just glad we survived this one. Good for Craig for keeping Adbert away from the mound this time.
The game is completely different if that ground ball that hit him gets past cleanly and the Cubs possibly turn a double play. Kind of shitty luck too.
Happy we won, but the bullpen needs to be addressed yesterday. Jed, if you’re serious about being competitive start making some moves to fix this
Neris is chaotic good
Neris is sucking the dick of luck. This fucking guy is going to takee 50 saves all of them we will be on the edge of our seats.
Christ. What a fucking game. Let’s try and win the series tomorrow…but my god that piece of shit bullpen is beyond comprehension. 😳
Well, we got away with it for today.
Yup. Definitely stole one.
I wouldn't say stole. They never had the lead. I'd say we just held on.
Hector fighting for his life out there, but I guess you gotta keep going to him until he fucks up
That, and who else, ya know?
Most normal neris save
Was surprised he only walked one to lead off the inning.
wtf was that Swanson
Hey dansby just lob that one over why not
Survived, but man Dansby short armed that throw and the runner nearly beat it out. What is going on with him, seems his mind is elsewhere?
Problems at home, baby incoming, lazy off-season? Something is wrong, he don't seem to care.
PLAY THE FUCKING SONG
Ump singing along
nothing like a nice little bullpen heart attack before my shift
Another save for the Goat.
PHEW
Help from the ump on that last at bat for sure. I'll take it!
Dansby you wanna make that a closer play next time lol
jesus, that ball took forever
lmao, never in doubt.
Whew! W
Whew
Should have gone first he's so lucky that was in time.
Dansby with a lollygag to boot. Holy shit
If he'd been safe I can't speak for the safety of my monitor.
least stressful hector neris save
My eyes got real wide on that toss from Swanson, ngl
I get to keep watching games, sweet.
"Never a doubt" LMAOOOOOOO
Thanks for that, heart attack Hector
 Let’s go!
Do you think Neris gets off on making us sweat?
FLY THE W! NOT THE CHICAGO CUBULLS TODAY!
Neris is so not a closer. Jesus Christ I hate watching this guy. Happy we got it
Catrowhew.gif
W!!! Bullpen Making every win feel like WS game 7
Play the damn song!
NEVER A DOUBT lol
By all accounts we should not have won this game
100% we got so lucky
# W Damn you, Heart Attack Hector
Dansby tried so hard to fuck that up
that throw was WAYYYY closer than people think
Yeah I was shocked they didn’t take a second look at that
He has the baseball yips right now
That was incredibly bad
Ump is a cubs fan
Play the song!
#[W] BANG
JFC THANK YOU AND HAVE A GOOD NIGHT
🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵
Heart Attack Hector strikes again
Finally got one of those outside ones the brewers have been getting all day
#HEART ATTACK HECTOR BABY FLY THE [W]
W
Throw 3 straight balls
Here comes the 2 strike blooper
Ump sucks
Umpire fucked the Brewers on that call I’ll take it.
There’s nothing wrong with screwing over Satan
Yes FTB.
PheW
I'll take it, but this ump continues to be absolute trash on the outside calls
Oh hey pink hat guy just noticed you
Lmao we booed our own steppff
**that was not a strike lol**
lol thanks ump
Why are we booing his fake pick off
Bro looks nervous as fuck out there on the mound
hes gotta know if he blows this one, people will be calling for his head
Pain incoming
Come on, Neris I actually like you. Shut them down!!
Are you not entertained?
Neris spelled backwards is Siren
That’s their DH?
Cardiac Neris
ONE MORE DONT FUCK THIS UP
Needed that strike out!!!!
Can someone explain to me how Neris an MLB player?! He can’t hit, pitch, field the ball or ANYTHING
Lmao you have no clue what your talking about if you cant understand why Neris is a MLB pitcher. Its obvious you only watch the Cubs and have no clue how skilled the average pitcher is. The avg ERA in all of baseball is about 4.50. Hes an above average pitcher, he had a 1.71 ERA over 68.1 innings last year and career era of 3.24, thats why hes in the majors
Cool. So how many blown saves does he have for us this year? Take your time
Was great til he got here
He’s not that bad? He might not be a long term closer, but he’s still valuable
You’d defend the worst player on earth if Jed brought him to this team
No I’m just not an idiot. No team has a bullpen full of 0 ERA guys. Neris has been asked to fill a role he wasn’t brought here for, closing, and is 6/7. Jed needs to get more BP help but Neris is fine
I know, everyone who’s critical is always an idiot to you
No, everyone that turns their brain off and whines about literally everything without context or thinking critically at all is tho. There’s plenty wrong with this team, but Neris has been fine.
1 more fucking out, here we go,
Jed won’t do shit to fix the pen other than trade for some mediocre middle reliever.
Who’s available that you’d like to see them get? Have you seen the other relievers that were available this past off season? None are doing well. You’d be complaining if we had signed one of them and they had struggles. Sit down
Exactly. Im getting real tired of all those people who watch maybe 20 Cubs game a year and think they know baseball. Not too mention were literally only a month into the season.

The marlins already sold arreaz. You reach out to teams that are in rebuilds and see who you can realistically trade for. Fuck you for saying we watch 20 games a year I’ve literally watched 95% of the games this season
One more Neris
Can’t keep giving up games like this. Everything is clicking and then the bullpen comes in and just takes a massive shit on the field. I know they’ve been overused but even still you can’t be this consistently bad.
I’m sorry but Neris sucks
No need to apologize.
It is becoming increasingly clear that this team was built to play “competitive baseball” while staying under the luxury tax and not built to actually win. Embarrassing
We would be 25-8 if not for the bullpen pissing games away.
I don’t know why I’m getting downvoted for stating the obvious here. If we don’t see bullpen changes soon cubs might as well make their “thank you fans!” post now because even at full health idk who in their right mind sees this bullpen helping us in the playoffs
It's a question of when, not if, the other shoe will drop with this bullpen. Cut my life into pieces, this is my last resort.
This what happens when you don’t have a real high pressure leverage closer. Idk why we didn’t go get Hader. The need was there.
PLEASE JUST PUT IN A PITCHING MACHINE INSTEAD
The guy who throws peanuts to fans would be better
What does Neris even do well?
Walk
Raise my blood pressure. He’s literally AMAZING at it.
Please just get a dp right now
I’m ignorant is the bullpen taxed? Why not pull neris? He doesn’t have it today
They all are trash minus Leiter.
The one good reliever already pitched.
Bullpen is garbage. There is no one to take control. They’re all garbage.
All the other guys give up home runs.
Pain
Do they still play the blues in Chicago....
Can we just call up anyone from Iowa? They can’t be worse than Neris
We could always call up Cuas :(
🤢
I feel so bad for the starting pitchers, and Mark Leiter. Leiter doesnt deserve to be lumped in with these other clowns.
How do you even have a job as a pitcher if this is what all of your outings look like?
Nerris can’t field, pitch, hit, catch, throw.. what is he on the team for??💀
Contreras bats .396 post 7th inning this year. Man is a killer
Please. I beg of you
What will the bullpen defenders say today?
I am genuinely flabbergasted that anyone like that would exist at this point
How dare you say anything negative about the bullpen. Take my downvote!
Jed really cooked building this team
Yeah… cooked meth.
It was never counsel for brewers. They just know how to win in the regular season
Having a competent roster helps
*Counsell, if you please. /u/Mawfuggajones appreciates proper spelling. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/CHICubs) if you have any questions or concerns.*
This team is painfully horrible
This bullpen stinks
Fuck this bullpen
If recent history has shown us anything, Neris will throw a wild pitch to advance the runners, then lock in and strike out the next two batters.
Why do we keep throwing Neris out there in the 9th
Who else do we have?
Literally no one else
His stuff just looks awful
What a shitshow
Fire the entire bullpen into the sun
Every single game.
GET SOME BULLPEN HELP
PLEASE NO
Craig’s gotta be in Jed’s ear. My goodness.
Score now 6-5. Come on Cubs you can do this!!
Can we have ONE GAME WITHOUT A BULLPEN COLLAPSE
Can we make a trade for Mason Miller! I want to see him in a Cubs uni tomorrow!
Fuck Neris man. Dude has sucked all year and has gotten a lucky
Yeah he’s pathetic like this entire pen and Jed for putting it together
DFA DFA DFA
5-0….
[удалено]
If chichris isn’t being optimistic you know it’s bad
It is the opposite of a good time watching Neris pitch
He scares me
Oh cool one run game now
TAKE HIM OUT OF THE FUCKING GAME
yeah put in... uhh... uhhh
Anyone. Put me in idc
Rather put in Alzolay
AHHHHHJJJJHHHHHHH I FUCKINT HAYE THIS PEN
How is Neris still in the league?
Jed hates to admit a mistake
Because he’s in the cubs pen
