Overall solid road trip
With that, you can definitely call the road trip a success. If not for the blown game against the Padres it would’ve been a runaway success.
Wesneski MVP with 4 IP
4/6 series wins to start the year is solid
Wesneski believers eating good today. We needed that so bad. What a solid performance.
Wesnasty saved baseball, lessgoooo beat up the marlins.
much needed outing by Wesneski on so many levels
every game is gonna be an ass clencher with this pen lol
luckily we got wesnasty today
Loved watching Wes deal today. Really optimistic about him hopefully solving some of our bullpen woes.
So nice, I’m gonna cub twice!
Overall, a good road trip.
Shame we threw two games away against SD and AZ, but going into back to back series against the Marlins and Astros on 0.5 back, no complaints.
Down our best hitter and pitcher with 2 awful bullpen losses but somehow eked out 5 and 4 on a west coast road trip. This team is good man
#WE P2 IN THE CENTRAL
We won a game we totally should’ve lost and then lost a game we totally should’ve won before convincingly taking game 3 and winning a series on the road against the defending National League champs. Yeah, that’s a damn good result. Go Cubs Go!
Bullpen should be in great shape for the next series now…rest wise. Get our starters back, get Belli ripping and we will be just fine. Play the damn song
Joc had to give us one last jump scare, but that was good series. Tough but solid road trip to go 5-4 against good teams. Let’s not play down to the marlins now and snag first place
Another series won and above .500 on a tough road trip. Let’s see what ppl will complain about now….
I would’ve been at peace with 4-5 on this trip. Good job Cubs. Still not keen on the bullpen for obvious reason. Been a fun start to the season so far:)
Roadtrip overall W too!
Considering our performance against the D-backs last year i would say this is pretty big
This team might be damn good. A 5-4 west coast trip and I’m a little disappointed that it should have been better. If they can solidify this bullpen we will be cooking
There was a lot of justifiable frustration with Cubs’ pitching yesterday, but I think today’s game and the first game of the series highlight just how much pitching depth the Cubs actually have.
Brown, Thompson, Wicks, and Wesneski all played huge parts in this series victory. Even with 3 major pitching injuries already in the season, the Cubs are finding young guys that can contribute.
Great series win!
A [ W ] is a [ W ] no matter how butt-puckering or dirty! Let’s go home and catch us some fish!
Went 5-4 on west coast trip. You’d have no idea in the GDT
Smyly needs a therapist. Dude has the body language of a sad teenager.
A lot of y’all owe Belli an apology 😤
Holy shit Wesneski got the Call at 1 am
Flew to chicago at 5 am
Got to the game 1 hour before
and
SLAYED
Wesnasty said he had to pitch on a couple hours of sleep, maybe he should do that for every game he pitches!
Hayden didn’t sleep and got an hour before and shoved and rubbed his nuts all over dbags lineup. My man!!!
I’ll take a series win
Coming out ahead from a stretch playing the Dodgers, Padres, Mariners, and Diamondbacks?
Yessir that’s a dub
Watching the postgame shows this year…has Girardi EVER smiled?
Baseball is a very good game
I hope Wes can be a productive anchor in the pen. He was great today, and the pen could use some good mojo.
What a performance by Wesneski, I’ve given him heat in the past but he was great today
5-4 on a west coast road trip is AWESOME PLAY THE DAMMM SONG
