Another spring commute
If the Cubs come back to win a bullpen game where they'll be holding back their best relievers for game 2 of a doubleheader and have already spotted Scherzer a three run lead in the first, the Nats are truly the kings of chocking and I will not make another pessimistic post about the Cubs on SA until next year. That includes any potential postseason games. :toxx:

Don't know why you give James the 8th if you're going to get the pen going after just one baserunner

This dude is surgical with 97-98, it's crazy

Dave Dombrowski is delusional if he actually thinks the Sox bullpen is somehow the best it can possibly be. Coming back from a 5-1 deficit might be possible when you're playing the Marlins or the Braves or whatever, but the Red Sox are totally hosed if they think they can casually allow opponents to run away with a lead and complete the comeback no problem in October.

I just want some postseason security, that's all. 100 wins doesn't really mean a whole lot to me if this is the way they plan on playing against the Astros.

This is some of the worst defense I've ever seen by the Cubs.

No one can throw or catch a ball.

If James can consistently produce like that, it's huge having a long guy at this point in the season

Thats a nice Game 7 you have there. Would be a shame if somebody nailed it down.
That was some super legit pitching by Josh James.

Osuna tho, he’s been good too even though I feel dirty for rooting for him
