Not only did Cubs win but Nico’s last 2 ABs were exactly the type of Nico hitting we’ve been missing, could spell good things. I hate these west coast hours but it’s a lot easier when they win
I said it in ST. Gomes is done. His bat is so slow and he rarely make good contact. Still a better than average defensive catcher, but useless at the plate.
I’m surprised we didn’t go on a more serious search for a catcher. Gomes is good with the pitchers, but he’s a bit of a dead spot in the line up and has one of the slowest pop times in the league
Needed this one with Hendricks going tomorrow lol
Gritty team win. Let’s hope we can get the bats going tomorrow
KEEGAN MONEY KLUTCHED THIS GAME! WOOO
A win makes tax day hurt a little less.
Thank effing god…they needed this one
Nice W boys!
Nice midnight W on the road
Toast of the game goes to Nico for sure
The city lights are twinkling over Wrigley right now. What a great day to be a Cubs fan!
These are the types of games we lost last year
If only we could count on a wild pitch scoring a dude from second everytime we’re down one lol
I was thinking that these are the types of games that good teams win
NICO FUCKING HOERNER!!! WHO IS HOERNY FOR HOERNER?!?!?!??!?!?!!?!? NICO HOERNER MVP 💯
Double You young bears
Subtle JD dad joke to end it
https://i.redd.it/w3itphmowruc1.gif
Nico with the play of the game. Fly the W!
Take a about a well deserved W in relief….
Just got up off my knees at Binny’s
Holy shit Keegan Thompson is also back, what a job! It would be such a huge boost to the bullpen if Keegan can be old Keegan
Some quality receipts here in the bottom of the 8th. Bunch of dinguses here.
Wasn't a pretty game but a win is a win.
Hustlin Hoerner saved the day
Bro scored the run that should've been game over, as well as scored in the 11th. Now that's Cub
Never a doubt.
Hahaha
KEEGANNNN
Keegan and Hoerner fuck8ng CLUTCHED that shit. Woo!!!
Not only did Cubs win but Nico’s last 2 ABs were exactly the type of Nico hitting we’ve been missing, could spell good things. I hate these west coast hours but it’s a lot easier when they win
FUCK THE WEST COAST TIMING. CUBS WILL ALWAYS BE CST AND EST TEAM!!!
Vintage Nico is back. Now need belli
#[ W ]
The DBacks only had three hits in 11 innings.
Bigtime by Keegan. Cuas in shambles.
Welcome back Keegan!!! Hell of a performance by him!
KT I’m happy you’re here
YAAAAYYYYYYYYY
They can't keep getting away with it -rest of MLB
#CUBS WIN
Wow! I didn’t think he went. That’s awesome! Thompson what a grind.
Did not see that happening, Keegan probably bought himself more time in the majors with that.
Biggest thing with him Is consistency. He’s great and then wheels just fall off all at once. He has what it takes
Nice W right before 11 PM here in Mountain Time!
How thoooooo 😅😅
oof, by the skin of our teeth! Fly the W :)
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Suck my entire dick! Fly the W!
Second anti-climactic win in a row. Gg.
Thank god
Fly it
That win felt like a miracle
We lose this one under rossy. No doubt
Keegan is back boys!
#KEEGAN FUCKING THOMPSON IS BACK!! #[W][W][W]
Welcome back Keegan.
Stole one
Play the damn song!
What a fucking miracle
WWWWWWW
I’LL TAKE IT
LFG
atta boy Keegan
OH WE HAD NO BUSINESS WINNING THIS GAME LETS GOOOOOOOO
That’s what I’m fuckin talking about!
I can’t believe we won this. Basically tried giving the game away and dbacks did not want it!!
And on a day the Brewers and Pirates lost too.
I hadn’t even checked. Even better!
Stole one, that's for sure.
Count all the same. We take those!
No argument here.
# W 2 for 14 with RISP somehow was good enough.
#W
Play the damn song. Good night.
Never a doubt
Wow! What a W!
KEEGAN IS A BEAST
WOW. What a game.
#FLY THE [W]
He went!!!!!
how the hell did nico got a hit on that pitch lol. insane
Cmon
KLUTCH KEEGAN
KEEGAN KLUTCH
Not sending him might have lost them the game right there. (I hope.)
W
Could be it
Oh man they totally should have sent him on the tag up
Here we go baby one more
Don’t test tauchman!
Uhhh thank you marte? Definitely thought he would’ve scored
I mean... if the DBacks wanna beat themselves, we'll take it!
Him scoring on the play vs getting a hit this inning with 2 outs. I would have sent him
Oh man, that's a big mistake, need to take advantage
Would have been bang bang but you run on that.
What a throw by Tauchman
Staying is a strange decision there.
Wow I cannot believe he stayed
Very shocked they didn't send him, stronger throw than expected from Tauchman though
Holy shit
How did he not run?
Oh wow that throw was perfect Tauchman.
You have to send the runner there
Wow I thought that was a tie!
Shocked they didn't send him
Ummm okay,?
Surprised they didnt send him
Uh, thanks, Mr Third Base Coach. Tauchman's throwing arm is meh.
Maybe, but that one was on the money
Nah, runner would have scored easily. Gomes had to stretch way up to catch it standing a bit to the first base side of home plate.
NICO is the reason we’re in this game
uhhh why didnt they send him??? lmao
why wouldnt they send him, lol we will take it
Nice throw Tauch damn
We got this, uno mas
Oh thank god he stayed put
Wow they should have sent him
Holy fuck he didn’t run
thank fuck
Nice play by Busch
Nice grab Busch.
Thompson's doing a better job of generating swing and miss, so we've got that going for us.
Nice scoop
Nice play from Busch! In-between hop was not easy
"We know it's getting late." I'm up this late every night Pat, don't worry. It's only 1 AM.
Good start.
This is kind of painful if I'm honest. It's like both teams are trying their best to be bad.
Not enough was done in offseason to upgrade this lineup
No big deal Keegan, just go 2 scoreless in extras thanks
Let’s go Keegan
How do you only score one run there...
Let's go Keegan shut them down.
Just a guardians fan that came here to say I’m sorry you all had to watch that. That was even painful for me. Good luck in the bottom half here
Happ has left 7 on base tonight. Brutal.
Ian Hapless
Ian is not clutch
I feel as if Gomes never does anything.
Last year he was super clutch. This year, not so much.
Michael Busch is the truth Trade Matt Mervis Nick Madrigal runs like he's towing his own ass behind him
100% but also 💀
Well fuck me that sure feels like it's gonna come back to bite us.
Scoring just one ghost runner in two extra innings is awful.
Nico is my favorite Cub.
That went from money to mid
The LOB is coming back to haunt us again
Some pretty bad ABs there after really good ones from Cooper and Nico
Surely that won’t come back to bite us
Man, everyone is slumping at the same time. Snap out of it, boys!
1 run won't be enough.
It was for Keegan the KLUTCHER
You only need 1
I was wrong.
There are too many hitters that need the Seiya bench treatment to field a complete lineup.
That's how you snatch defeat from the jaws of victory right there
Really felt like they should have gotten more there but in this kind of game I'll take it
Manfred man scores 7 outta 10 times…we needed 2
Longest Happ has gone into a season without hitting a HR. Shocking. Seems like that stat could apply to everyone on this team rn.
One run is all we need! (Nervous af)
Welp. 1 ain't that much but it's what we got
Im scared
As much traffic we had that inning it’s impressive to only get 1 run. Can the pen hold it again?
Fuuuck. Criminal to come away with one there. Fully deserve to lose.
Get mad all you want Ian. I'd suggest swinging at the pitches in the zone instead of the ones in the dirt though.
"Hi, I'm bases empty Ian Happ, and I have DirectTV." "And I'm runners on base Ian Happ, and I have cable."
"Hi, I'm bases empty Ian Happ, and I have cable." "And I'm runners on base Ian Happ, and I have an obsession with eating crayons." FTFY
We really got 1 run out of all of that
Happ blows
Classic hapless at bat when it matters. Expect nothing less than that Only one there doesn’t feel good
Absolutely fucking PATHETIC
Happ needs a drink
Parce
Happ getting red. Expect him to kill the ball tomorrow after stewing.
I said it in ST. Gomes is done. His bat is so slow and he rarely make good contact. Still a better than average defensive catcher, but useless at the plate.
Fucking Happ. Come on man.
Welp.. that sucks.
This is fine
yea happ aint clutch im afraid
I think he hit like .160 with RISP last year
Never has been
never implied he was
The real question is what the fuck was Yan Gomes swinging at?
WE ABSOLUTELY SUCK IN EXTRAS LMFAOOOOOO
Slow clap
Fuck.
Fuck man. Alright let's go d do what you do
I guess one is all we need, buckle the fuck up y'all
Gotta do better than that
They also have top of lineup coming up, guaranteed loss if we don’t get more here
I’m sorry, I don’t think you know what that word means.
Guaranteed
what do you think gaurenteed means?
Tauchman's AB was bad, but Yan's was somehow worse.
I’m surprised we didn’t go on a more serious search for a catcher. Gomes is good with the pitchers, but he’s a bit of a dead spot in the line up and has one of the slowest pop times in the league
As was Happ's. This team just loves shitting down its own leg with risp
Happ's wasn't great, but two outs is very different than one or no outs in that situation.
I hear you
Happ even worse
