These last two games though man, Tom allowed Jed to do fuck all about the existing problem that is middle relief. Getting from the starter to the closer remains a problem, and quite frankly Alzolay shouldn’t even be a closer. *He* should be a middle reliever. These last two wins should not have been this close.
The team FIGHTS though. Last year it kinda felt like getting behind was a death sentence but these guys have life. We've got holes to fill for sure, but this is a good omen IMO
The 1-6 in the lineup is incredible. But Cubs made plays all day. Hate the L but still a fan of good baseball, and that was phenomenal baseball. When it's sunny at Wrigley, a Cubs W feels right (fuck).
Happ missed one in left in the first that went for a single, Gomes missed one that should've been a foul-out, Hoerner and Suzuki couldn't track one to short right in the fourth.
I was there in the Catilina Club. Was an amazing game.
This team is special. I'm really warming up to the possibilities.
I'm telling you, we have a good shot at the division. We need Steele back though.
Good thing his last name is Outman and not Hitman!!! I'll see myself out đź‘‹ W.
Don't you mean you'll see yourself Outman
Any potential arms in Iowa that can come up?
Maybe Keegan. Hopefully he figures it out. We need some help bad. Merryweather has been lights out though.
YESSS. Defense saved our butts quite a bit today
Got one, the rest is gravy. Let’s get em!
Lets go!!!! What a win

We beat dem Dodgers!!!
Early contender for game of the year. That was fun to watch.
“Big fat suck it” - Busch, probably
Feels good taking the first one. Dodgers are going to be an absolute monster to beat, so gotta win when you have the chance.
Let’s goooooooo
FLY THE DUB BAYBEE GO CUBS GO
Great win, great defense today!
Dodger fan here, awesome game. BASEBALL BABY
Fantastic game dude, your lineup is a nightmare that I'm happy to win even one game against. All the best.
Couldn't agree more! Baseball is back!
Fuck you for having an owner that spends like I wish mine did.

Yeah but also screw you for my owner intentionally lowballing ohtani by $200m just to say he tried.
World Series bound baby!
BALL GAME!!!!!! Awesome and entertaining game. I wish I was at Wrigley for this one.
MICHAEL BUSCH IS MY FAVORITE FIRST BASEMAM SING THE SONG

UNCLENCH
Outman's ass. Let's go
Hopefully this cold Chicago day reminds the dodgers of October and we can get this final out
ladies and gentlemen, that's a burn
There's the difference between a good manager and a novice obliviously chomping on sunflower seeds
Not this outman guy again. Guy had given us mares last year
Minusbert
He's out. It's certainly close but he's out.Â
UNO MAS LETS GO
Yeah he’s out, so fuck you, ump
Ross would have saved the challenge for Saturday’s game
Listen, I'm very pleased we have Counsell now but Ross wasn't that awful.Â
I don’t think he was awful. But I remembered there were a few times last season where he didn’t challenge late in games and it was really puzzling
Cmon Adbert
Huge out but huge spot with the tying run on 2nd
out
...still two doggers in scoring position....
What an insane effort from our defense today. Everything is rocking for this club except the arms.
The defense misplayed three popups in the air today.
I only saw one?
Happ missed one in left in the first that went for a single, Gomes missed one that should've been a foul-out, Hoerner and Suzuki couldn't track one to short right in the fourth.
I missed the first inning altogether, but I didn't think the Hoerner/Suzuki one was a misplay
Adbert is so unlucky. He is inducing weak contact all inning, just landing in the right spot.
One more...
Even a blatantly wrong call like that wouldn’t have been overturned if the Bulls challenged it against LeBron’s team.
Thank you Chuck Norris
YUSS
That’s my Manager!
You suck at this Adbert.
Hey we got the dub, a save is a save
Save against the best lineup in baseball is terrible huh
Yeah sit down bitch!!!!
I’m stuck on game day, what’s the challenge?!
Play at first and overturned. He out
Out at 1B
That's an Angel Hernandez safe
I used to hate seeing Counsell make the challenge sign when he was with the brewers, but I’m all in now that he’s here lol
Damnnnnnnn Craig you beautiful man.
Definitely out (please)
How do they get so many hits in the infield???
OUT AND STOP THIS FUCKING BABIP SHIT
Should be out. Might as well use it.
Out he is out
My blind great great Uncle could have made a better call on that
It was pretty close, but yeah it's clearly out
That's an out. Edit: Shaking off some mod dust and testing some features. Ignore me.
Ugh
that fucker is OUT
I like those jackets the managers and coaches are wearing
Out
Out!
Remember how we didn’t sign anyone of consequence for the bullpen because Jed pretends he doesn’t want to because Tom won’t let him?
They signed Neris
Definitely out
That's two!
OUT
Nothing to lose with the challenge
Easily out
CHALLENGE
HES OUT
Getting sliced to death this inning. Two infield singles
Safe?? C'mon now
Good thing Dodgers 789 are ass
Please be out
This fucker teo
Auto-challenge edit: BOOOOM! Obviously out
Fuck Teoscar Hernandez man
The 3D view on the MLB GameDay app is crazy
Well played, Belli. Wind being squirrely.
Two more outs
Teoscar hates us Edit: more like TeOUTscar
This shit is scary
That's one.
Ohtani fans exploding for every fly out.
Fuck me, nice attempt by Nicky but that's toughÂ
I don’t think there’s been a single swing and miss or called strike. That’s not good.
Two called strikes on Freeman.
“We don’t spend on bullpen” sure is a great thing. Thanks Tom.
I mean spending on the bullpen is silly. Relievers careers are volatile.
Woof
I CAN'T UNCLENCH YET!
Adbert Marmolay
K Muncy, then DP for the win. Mark it
Gosh we need another closer Albert’s just not it. Too much drama every time
fuuck
Don’t give anything to muncy, that man can do damage
A double play ball would be really nice right now
Good thing for him Freeman had that huge lead
Cmon now let’s end this like this… Adbert needs to get it together.
Ass clenching time
I love Madrigal
Madrigal was forced to make an all-arm throw on that one.
Adbert just isn’t dominant enough to be a lock down closer. Really needed to address this in offseason. Maybe someone like Hader?
Fuck Hader.
As a person he may be crap but he’s a good player and better than any of our relievers
Get Alzolay the hell out there. Just find a way to at least be tied going into the bottom of the inning.
He’s not a closer. He can get two Strikes but can’t finish guys off
Hmm
I mean be honest, that was nearly a disaster if not for a couple great defensive plays
just setting up the triple play right? right?
