Baker really blew the game with these pitching changes. Broxton looks like **** though.

Smh.

Dusty has mismanaged this bullpen so bad this week. The Reds are terrible right now.There's so many holes in the lineup, not to mention all the injuries.

 

[rawex5]

Dusty is cursed.

 

[eracism]

Why don't the Cubs just buy a damn closer?

My bullpen is the opposite of good.

I know we don't expect to compete this season, but this is 3 games we've given away before we get our #1 starter back. Come on.

Votto has drawn 20 walks in 12 games.

On pace to break Bonds' record.

I knew it was bad but not that bad. Balked in the go ahead run

Yeah I think they're getting to the closer store right now. You know, because it's that easy to just "buy a closer".

I love watching them lose though.

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

The Cubs don't just lose, they implode


That curse is strong :x

 

[ii flash ii]

11-1 :

What a start... Im loving this

Observations 2 weeks in:

Astros won't lose 100+ games.
How bad BJ Upton is, is being overshadowed by how good little brother is playing.
Blue Jays are going to be the AL Marlins. Lots of hype, little results. Ironic enough because they practically assumed the Marlins sans Stanton.
Nationals vs Braves race will be fun to watch all year.

 

[mr marcus]

Idk why I assumed bj was the lil brother even tho physically he is

 

[checks grossman]

Anyone else catch the Gardner moonshot?

 

[champcruthik]

Can't even imagine or comprehend the amount of strip clubs the Upton Bros visit in the A.

 

[worldbeefreeg]

Is it too early to make my annual "Let me introduce you to the best pitcher in baseball thread" or should I wait until Harvey's next start?

 

[madj55]

Thank you, Jackie. #42

Something never really felt right with the Blue Jays.
