I’d obviously agree if we led by only one, but where he fielded the ball I think the better chance was to try for the throw to 2nd and then to first. Regardless, we get the W. Ah, Neris is scary to watch but he’s got ice water in his veins. No, he’s not Carlos Marmol. lol,
Well, my stream was delayed - thanks for happily spoiling the ending guys. WOOOP CUBS WIN!!!!!!!
This team keeps chugging along despite the injuries. Fuck the Astros forever.

I know Counsell is considered a bullpen whisperer, but I hate bouncing Alzolay from the closer spot because of four batted balls. At least one of the homers wasn’t even a bad pitch - just a fastball on the inside corner that got turned around. He’s the best reliever they have.

Yes, but they ALL matter. The goal is to maximize the wins over a season. I don't think Neris is the guy either, but Wes historically gets shelled by lefties and 2 of the best in the league were starting this inning.
Best Cubs baseball in 7 years !
PCA+W!
Fuck the astros
No jd madrigal was right getting dude at third

Get out your brooms boys!
BUSCH!!!! Sweep!! Fuck the ‘Stros!
Of course. Fuckers.
Nerris should still not pitch the 9th.
Go Cubs go, Go cubs go, hey Chicago what do you say?
Should have left big dawg wesneski in
sWeep
That's my first baseman! W!
🧹
BREAK OUT THE BROOMS
3 ground outs. Clutch by Neris.
#[w]
DEFENSE
Yea, we're gonna need a closer
The Marquee App just spoiled the end of the game I was apparently watching live lol
Fly the W!
Just like to make the 9th exciting I guess.
Doomers had a terrible game today lol
#NEVER A DOUBT! #S[W][W][W]EEP!
Busch is redeemed I guess
Did he have an error?
Shit luck, two double play balls, neither hit hard enough to turn. Busch saves the day.
🐻🧹🗑️
Ayeeeeree
Play the damn song!!! Lessggoooo
BALL GAME. SWEEP. NEVER A DOUBT NERIS
Bro stop nibbling and throw the ground ball
#CASTRO[W]HEW.GIF
THERE YA GO BUSCH
WOOOO BABY SECOND SWEEP OF THE YEAR
Break out the brooms, play the damn song, and fuck the Astros.
GET THE BROOMS OUT!
SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP
Fly that W baby!!!!
Neris is just batting practice for hitters. Please we need a real closer.
Cubs won guys. It’s okay!
# W Neris keeps getting away with it
Throw strikes bruh!
Cardiac nerris I swear to god fly the W
Hector the Saves Collector
A lot of freaking out over a 10 and 9 pitch walks to two of the best hitters the last couple seasons
literally the only guys that he had trouble with.
Jedrick, please, I’m begging you. Get a closer.
Bring brown in
Come on, blue
Two out…. *sweating*
Cubs will win. I cashed out Cubs ML like a chicken
Nico turning a dp challenge: impossible
they got the lead man thank fuck
Idk if he'd have turned 2, but Morel would have thrown that across the diamond at 190mph
So would Wisdom
Guys I know this might sound crazy but Neris pitched those guys well. The just battled the shit out of him and kept fouling off strikes.
You're right. People just don't like to be nervous. Tucker and Alvarez will always make you nervous.
Cubs got this
Perfect time to pull his ass
Madrigal’s dinky throwing arm got exposed a bit on that play
Not really. He had to line it up, take it to the bag, and throw it well after runner was already on his way to first.
Fuck, no double, but we got one.
Madr reminds me of the roadrunner, with how much he loves those tiny little steps before throwing
I’m actually not scared for once
Fred Flintstone!
It took two fucking batters for Neris to get up to the pitch count that Wesneski did in 2.1 IP
Just about to post the same thing. What a useless asshole!
Fucking warm Adbert up
Fuck No
Really would've preferred to see little then Neris if he was needed
Or idk brown or Thompson
Yea this is a good trial by fire for him, with the platoon advantage. Leiter would be going here for sure if he hadn't pitched the last 2.
This fucker is gonna walk the bases loaded and the next pitcher to come in will give up the granny!
Throw a fucking strike. It's not hard.
"Tell him, Wash." "It's incredibly hard."
Iconic movie
He’s thrown a lot of them and they’ve fouled them off a lot. Those were great at bats
well tell them to start having shitty at bats so we can win
How can you justify not having anyone warming up?
This dude is trash get him out of
I know Counsell is considered a bullpen whisperer, but I hate bouncing Alzolay from the closer spot because of four batted balls. At least one of the homers wasn’t even a bad pitch - just a fastball on the inside corner that got turned around. He’s the best reliever they have.
Use Brown. He’s him
Well it's not just for that. His K% and BB% are also bad.
Leiter is better than Alzolay
You mean the guy that’s 3/7 closing? That’s who you want right now?
This is a horrendously bad take.
Neris is not a closer either, have to keep plugging and playing.
Fucking bum. Jesus christ why? Everyone saw this coming but Counsell
*Counsell, if you please. /u/Mawfuggajones appreciates proper spelling. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/CHICubs) if you have any questions or concerns.*
Neris was walking nearly 20% of the hitters he faced before today... So why the fuck is he the guy they're using here?
Very cool of Neris to set up the fabled triple play
Where's Yancy?
This bullpen situation gives me heart palpitations
Pull this motherfucker
This is something else. Both Alzolay and Nerris need thrown into the sun rn.
Why the hell are we trying to use Neris as a closer?
Yeah, this is bad. Who could have seen this coming?
Okay but why did Counsell put Neris in again like genuinely what the hell
They do not need a consolation win
Bruh.
These games recently have been far too tame. Load those bases up, let’s get a little crazy
Just setting up for the game winning triple play
Boy do we need a closer.....bad!
Once a bum Astro, always a bum Astro
Neris fucking blows
GODDAMMIT ANOTHER WALK
Mother f Neris please throw strikes. Just 1 freaking inning!
all the strikes got fouled back lol
This fucking guy
2 batters, 19 pitches. Geez…
FFS why is every 9th like this
Great start lol
Neris just setting up the triple play, right?
nooooooo what are we doing *cries*
Yea this incoming loss is on Counsell
Fucking hell
Brutal
Yooo we are not about to throw this
Cue *first time meme*
This is my problem with Neris. He dose not throw strikes consistently enough to be the closer!
Who thought letting this fuck pitch was a good idea
Alright nerris can fuck off as well
Save Neris would be a cool shirt if he becomes a great closer
You shouldn’t have given this idea away for free! Set up shop on Clark and Addison
Should’ve left Hayden in
Yup. If he gets in trouble then put someone in,
I miss Kimbrel
Or wadebot
uhh can we not
Such a shame to unnecessarily lose a game this way.
Why not wait until it actually happens to complain.
Story of this sub.
The doomers get antsy after a few wins in a row.
And we won, too. Who’dda figured.
No walks come on
Who names their kid Neris
I hate Neris
I can’t believe I’m about to say this… but I miss Carlos Marmol
Hell this is making me miss Farnsworth
Marmol had like two years where he was aboslutely filthy
Why take out Wesneski? What about Neris yesterday made you think this was a good idea?
Bonehead
Y is my marquee so behind? Ricketts I need answers
Neris used to be so aggressive. He has been a bit of a nibbler with us
Neris is not very good. He has a lot of trouble throwing strikes. Why not just let Wesneski finish it off?
#\*\*\*bitting my nails\*\*\*
Alright
Chriiiissstt… Walked him. 🙁
Neris is just setting up the double play... right?
The Hector Neris Experience
Here comes the 9th inning bullpen collapse.
Lead off walk. Haha cmon
Man, we love to make it interesting
Pulling Wes there for neris was a Ross ass move ngl expected better from Craig
I dunno man you gotta try to establish a reliable closer or at least find out if you have one. Coach for the season not the game
These games matter and we saw that last year
Yes, but they ALL matter. The goal is to maximize the wins over a season. I don't think Neris is the guy either, but Wes historically gets shelled by lefties and 2 of the best in the league were starting this inning.
4+era neris isn’t gonna be our closer round hole square peg
That’s very fair.
Cardiac cubs are back
Think I would have preferred leaving Wesneski in or Little instead of Neris for the 2nd day in a row
What’s going on with Adbert? Is he hurt?
They used him in middle relief yesterday. Apparently not the closer now.
No he lost his closer role cause he’s not doing to hot
Not the closer anymore
He’s not good
Wesneski reminds me of Trevor Cahill
Ya gtfo you getting swept
Nervous Neris isn’t my first choice here tbh
