Wow the Padres fuckin suck
Well, Leiter shut me up.
Nice bounceback outing from Leiter, Alzolay is a beast, a solid start by Taillon.
Some good stuff in this one. Offense needs to turn a corner soon
Did anyone else hear a faint go cubs go on the broadcast
“Everyone knows the Cubs are losing this game right?”
-Some idiot during the 8th inning
I love one-run games now! Just don’t ask me how I felt about them for the first two months of the season…
Jameson Cy-on
And we finally win a Taillon start…
Cubs are 1-0 since my nephew was born
Leiter Jr. struck out Soto, Machado, and Cronenworth in the 9th. Not bad
The pitching in general came up clutch for the Cubs tonight. Great win!
Fathers deserved a loss with those uniforms. Holy piss.
ggs
let’s just have four Leiter’s and four Alzolay’s in the bullpen
Next time someone tells you the cubs pitching infrastructure isn’t working, just point them to Mark Leiter Jr, specifically this outting.
I’ll always take a win in a game we weren’t expected to win.
Wakka wakka!
Damn Leiter looked great
That was fucking awesome. I was talking shit at the Wednesday game to Leiter, but I take that back. I think he has it and that was a bad day. Great win tonight.
Leiter bouncing back from Wednesday by striking out Soto, Machado, and Cronenworth & Alzolay picking up Merryweather was awesome to see from the bullpen. Glad they could stick it out to get Taillon the W. Good team win.
It’s more fun when we win
Alzolay is a fucking legend. Kid is so good. Also maybe Leiter Jr should be the closer?
4th straight game where the bullpen has looked solid(that one game against the rays where our starter left early, we gave up 4 runs in 6 innings. Not bad). There is some signs of life. Hopefully the offense will find its groove
No run support? No problem
Pitching has been really impressive as of late, both the starters and the pen. I hope they can keep it up.
Just need to get back to the timely hitting of April. I’ve got a feeling Bellinger coming back will help. Wisdom and Mancini are both ghosts right now though.
