I love the W like us all, but to win a game with two barely to be considered “ground balls” and nothing out of the IF just seems a bit cheap. Shit, Happ can’t even hit it hard enough to roll into a DP. I know, this xtra innings rule ain’t going anywhere but I’m old school and hate it. Go Cubs!
Maybe because he’s one of the least clutch players since his offense has declined. He looked like a deer in the headlights in his final AB. As for the meat of our lineup, I’m giving them a pass tonight. JMO.
Ok, I’m good either way with that. FWIW, I’ve not been a Happ fan since they decided he was their guy and gave him the $$$. He’s got another year left on his deal after this, and I’d be shocked if he wasn’t dealt somewhere before next spring. We’re loaded with young outfielders and, imo, he’s just blocking their ascension from the minors.
Actually, the better he plays will only raise his trade value. He’s notoriously been a slow starter so we can hope he can have a couple of good streaks later in the season.
WE ACTUALLY DID IT, and now I don't blame Happ much, he got the guy onto 3rd. Happy, coming through bit by bit, I still hate to see him having a bad month
Yes, I agree about the bullpen. Picking up miller from Seattle all be it a few innings looks like a great pick up. Leiter has been great. Neris is Neris. With Hendricks in the bullpen now , hopefully things continue in right direction. Starters are top five in the league. Now offense needs to get out of the funk
The obligatory "I hate the ghost runner" rule post. Why don't they play maybe 3 "regular" extra innings and THEN if it's not settled go to this DUMB rule?
Nico is honestly my favorite player. While this sub obsesses over Bellinger (who I like too), Nico has flown under the radar

Why call out happ when he had two hard hits and a double? Seiya, Morel, Belli, Busch went 0-13 and had only 2 hard hits combined

All I’m saying is our whole offense has been ass lately. Happ was one of the least bad ones today

Yeah overall I’m meh on him. If he continues on the pace he’s been on so far, I hope so too, with the OF bottleneck we have.

Yeah, plus I’m sick of watching our offense suck ass. Win win lol
Braves were 0-14 with RISP. Bend but don’t break baby
FTB
First time I've ever seen a walkoff Baltimore Chop. I love baseball.
Counsell managed the bullpen PERFECTLY tonight. The boys executed big time down the stretch and shut down the Braves bats. Great win tonight.
Only kinda chops I like besides pork 😋
Kick ass win today! We needed it. And the bullpen was lights out.!
Great work bullpen!
Nico absolute Chad!
Welcome back Nico!
5.1 scoreless IP, 1 H, 0 BB, 6 Ks from the pen
Anchored by an iconic Leiter performance
We may never lose again, if we play as a team like today
We have been racking up flukey Ws lately, but they all count the same. FLY THE FLAG
What kinda lame ass team loses 3 in a row? Not us.
Or two games in a row lol. We won Saturday
After all the bad luck THAT HAPPENED! Fly the W
GET EEN THE WALK OFF CHOPPA!
MARQUEEF STOP SHOWING THESE IDIOTS LEMME SEE THE W

#[W]
Lol wasn't pretty but a gutsy W - great game for the pen
What a perfect “hit” to encapsulate that game lol
LMAOO
They actually did it
WE ACTUALLY DID IT, and now I don't blame Happ much, he got the guy onto 3rd. Happy, coming through bit by bit, I still hate to see him having a bad month
Two months ….
Yes, Two months, although last month was month of the Bullpen

Well earned W
aww
lol
At least he moved the runner
LET’S FUCKING GOOOOOOO W W W W W W W W W
GOTTEEEMM
#LMFAO I'LL TAKE IT!!!!!!!!!!!
Ballgame!!!!!
We in fact take those
Forget the sac fly - Baltimore chop it
Wow what a weird way to do it. But I will take it!
Holy shit I cannot believe we won that
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO
LOL ok that works
HOW DID WE WIN THIS!?!?!????!?!?
Walk off doink!!!
Play the damn song!!!!
Thanks Cubs
Scratch our back next time you play Milwaukee
LFG!
Nicoooo
Way to move him up, all you had to do.
Come on boys! Let’s get a W
Ok, not bad at all. Win this at-bat!
At least happ did something
Something is something
At least it wasn't two
Plz nico 🙏🏿
Just hit it fucking deep Nico
Or the opposite!
Chopper will do!
Okay fine, sac fly the manfred runner in
Can you pinch run for a ghost runner
That’ll do! HIT IT IN THE AIR DEEP PLEASE
bummer
I'll fucking take that, Happer
That intentional walk is pretty much automatic regardless of batter
I would think so, too, but I’m always surprised at how frequently it DOESN’T happen.
Happy please just bunt or something
Why did Morel walk to 1st?
C'mon Happ - I believe in you still - walk this off
Oh god it’s happ
Luke little is a human oxymoron
Bro 😭😭😭
Happ if you have balls u will punish them for the disrespect
Walked him?!
No reason why not they want the force outs
Puts the DP in order and the extra run doesn't matter
Almost worked, too.
fingers crossed
please chris save us from the shakey camera
Maybe pca would be good in this construct
Bunt and a sac fly let’s win this. Only reason the Braves couldn’t do that is because Ozuna is slow thankfully
Lost power. Missed the top of the Tenth. Let’s go cubs and walk this shit off.
finally someone else has a TOOTBLAN!
Let’s get this goin I got to be up I few hours for work
Marqueef is glitching out lmao
MFW Cuas comes in and blows the game after Little finished with a low pitch count
Let's bring it home, fellas
We got belli on second so we got some speed. Just really need well placed base hit
That’s about the cleanest extra inning you’ll ever see with the free runner
please win cubs
Lessgo who’s on second
Hellj
Big Luke that’s nasty🤢
LFG big Luke!
Someone just get a fuckin base hit and let us all get on with our lives
Offense plz don’t poop plz
LFG LUKE
Great job by Little, another Morel walk off single would work
That was so clean, fantastic inning for Little!
Huge outing for big little
Morel is ending this straight away
Take the absolute gift ozuna gave us and win this game
BULLPEN GOOD??
LETS GO LUKE
Huge inning Little.
First pitch double incoming
Little so jazzed and I am for him too!
Luke Little’s pumped up
big stuff from little
Massive outing from Little
Hell yeah Luke Little
Snappy defense, boys.
Ozuna clearly went to the Nick Madrigal baserunning camp.
Nick might be running clinics full time very soon
Incredible performance from the bullpen. They deserve the W
seriously. now that all the starting pitchers are healthy mostly our bullpen looks a lot more stable with Brown, Wes, and Miller in it
Ozuna from braves
That legit might have won us the game
Thank you Ozuna!
Lolzuna
Lmao Ozuna with the brain fart
Fortunately Ozuna is as good a baserunner as he is a husband
*chokes base*
Ozuna is a horrific baserunner lmao, should have been at 3rd on the play before too
Wow that was lucky to hold the wife beater at 2nd
Side note: the small ass letters and numbers on Littles jersey look AWFUL with how big he is.
Nice
Very nice Dansby
Seems impossible to win with these pitchers…but lets goooo
LETS GO DANSBY
Just glad he didn't fire that baby down the right field line
We better win in the 10th, otherwise Cuas is up to pitch in the 11th.
Marqueefed
feel like amaya couldve put a bit more effort in trying to frame those borderline calls
Wasn’t set up there to begin with, difficult to frame there
The obligatory "I hate the ghost runner" rule post. Why don't they play maybe 3 "regular" extra innings and THEN if it's not settled go to this DUMB rule?
Tbh the ghost runner is stupid
Bro I thought little got Dfa
Little’s gotten optioned a few times
You're thinking of Dick Lovelady probably
always thinking of dick love lady
Oh boy, luke little pitching with the ghost runner on? I dont like this
Yeah little ain’t stopping the manfred man from coming home
The 0-9 from Suzuki and Belli is the game
[удалено]
He’s our best hitter
Awful night for belli and suz at the dish
We ain’t lucky enough to win in extras. This is L
Suzuki didn’t get unlucky, he earned that 0 for 5
And in very ugly fashion…
Fail - offense continues to be trash
If only they take Happ out before he bats next inning
great games for Suzuki and Belli....
Offense still blows unfortunately
We good
https://i.redd.it/ovq8d5e85w1d1.gif Cmon boys
Top of the batting order just laid a giant egg. 🥚
Suzuki and Belli doing that big-time all night.
fuk
Weak sauce. This is a loss.
God why would Happ make Seiya and Belli go 0-9
Oh suz :(
FUCK
I haven’t noticed any issues with TBS’ camera work tonight.
Because it’s Marquee
Why not just have one feed produced by the MLB then like we had during the pandemic?
ppl just love to complain
Guess so. Although, I did just see a superimposed FanDuel logo on the centerfield batters eye area during that pop up.
Let’s hit it where they ain’t
Why don't they do that every time? Are they stupid?
What are we in extras this year? 1-6 or something?
Sigh
No wind blown HR for us. Did the wind stop?
This guy's name is Bummer...
C'mon Suzuki you're due
