GDT: 4/14/2018 Cubs

I'm not putting it on Newcomb, but there's momentum you can get from getting 1 run. He was done in the 5th. Pull him, and you might not be in trouble.

 

[thewupk]

Well that took a turn for the worse

 

[jsebe10]

And half this board was critical of Newcomb. Newcomb was outstanding in these garbage conditions. DFA Ramirez

But but but he thwos weawwy weawwy hawd

 

[sturg33]

Sorry y'all, but if you pull Newcomb this isn't an issue...

That cost us 1 run

What about the other 7?

 

[jpx7]

Ouch.

 

[TheBravos]

We have to have better bullpen options than Jackson and when you are in a bind don’t bring in Ramirez...he’s Viz 2.0

 

[msstate7]

Sorry y'all, but if you pull Newcomb this isn't an issue...

Huh? It was 10-3 after 6. Newcomb was out at 10-3

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Why was jo-ram still out there with tying runs on

 

[GeorgiaGirl]

That cost us 1 run

What about the other 7?

You can gain momentum from just 1 run.

 

[dak]

This obviously sucks, but with the absolute craziness of these conditions . . . makes it hard to feel like any of these guys is a huge goat for blowing this lead. Sure would be nice to get to the 9th tied.

 

[jsebe10]

And for the record...Baez can eat a black dick.

I was thinking the same thing. Awful bullpen management.

 

[jpx7]

Baseball is so cruel

Life is inherently cruel.

(Hawk: there’s your midcentury existentialism.)

 

[TheBravos]

We should be scoring at the same pace then...we aren’t.

 

[sturg33]

You can gain momentum from just 1 run.

lol ok

 

[USMA76]

Epic suckage.

 

[thethe]

This would be about as painful of a loss as you could possibly have.

 

[Managuarantano's Volunteers]

Maybe Newk should have pitched 9 innings

 

[jsebe10]

Lol walk scrub ass Heyward. Jesus.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Markakis’ inning-ending double play looks awful right now. It’s obviously not all on him, but awful.
