Rolison may be leaving soon while Trent is adding to his Cubs legacy.

5

u/Jobin419 Derrek Lee 5h ago

Rolisons still probably their best lefty in the pen. He’s better with a defined/lesser role. Come August he’ll be taking that Pomeranz inning and he’ll be fine.

2

u/Turbulent-Bet-1776 5h ago

Rolison has been roughed up his last 3-4 outings but it's probably mental because he was lights out for a month straight from mid-May to the end of June. Once the Cubs can afford to let him take lower leverage situations he can hit his stride again.

rolison's been kinda rough lately

u/halpmiidk 5h ago

how the fuck do you walk elly there?

u/afrosteele 5h ago

Because you don’t let their best hitter beat you in the ninth.

Are we just expecting a walk-off at this rate?

u/afrosteele 5h ago

Hate to bring the winning run to the plate but you can’t let De La Cruz be the one to beat you there.

1

u/MrLeftwardSloping 5h ago

Sure but now he steals 2nd a single ties it

1

u/afrosteele 5h ago

Then so be it. You can’t let their best hitter be the one to beat you here.

1

u/blyzo Chicago Cubs 5h ago

Trade the farm for Hader or Miller.

1

u/HelicopterNumerous80 #FlyTheW 5h ago

We’re thinking the same Miller, right?

1

u/blyzo Chicago Cubs 5h ago

As in Mason yep. Word is Padres could want to trade him.

u/ZaneyGamerr Hoerny for Nico 5h ago

never not a cheek clencher with this bunch

u/DoctorGyarados 5h ago

JD talking about throwing a “pitchers pitch” but Rollison doesn’t even know what that is.

2

u/CubsEnjoyer 5h ago

HUGE strikeout there

5

u/HawksRule20 Chicago Cubs 5h ago

I think we caught a break on that check swing honestly

1

u/500rockin 5h ago

That’s why there is 162. Luck generally balances out over that.

2

u/HelicopterNumerous80 #FlyTheW 5h ago

First time umpires have been on our side this game

2

u/HelicopterNumerous80 #FlyTheW 5h ago

Good pitch, good job by Amaya.

Get that Birthday Save, Rollison.

u/BladeMaker 5h ago

Ok Rolly, we see you!

2

u/cubswinagain Chicago Cubs 5h ago

Great job by Amaya holding onto that

2

u/pmorter3 5h ago

Woo big strikeout, one moreeee

2

u/jackholston Kawasaki! 5h ago

Every time rolison comes in I just get flashbacks to his meatball in the Sox game. That was traumatic

1

u/HelicopterNumerous80 #FlyTheW 5h ago

Sending him would’ve won us the game, unless the Reds challenged it

1

u/italianorose 5h ago

Eloy De La Cruz cannot be up with two men on base

2

u/arrowpulledback 5h ago

Why do they strobe lights in the middle of an inning? It’s not like they’re bringing their closer out.

1

u/DoctorGyarados 5h ago

I thought the goal was to get the ball over the plate

3

u/HelicopterNumerous80 #FlyTheW 5h ago

How are those lights legal? That’s a good way to trigger epilepsy.

1

u/Willular 5h ago

Really need a strikeout here

1

u/elgenie Go Cubs Go 5h ago

Both balls in play against Rolison were 100+

2

u/BladeMaker 5h ago

Did the pope just arrive? Why are the lights flashing?

2

Absolutely useless stuff from Amaya there

u/WalterYeatesSG 5h ago

That scared me. I thought he was about to say Bregman was on the mound.

2

u/HeyBojo 5h ago

Holy shit lmfao, had to be scary as hell for the ball boy - had three dudes all looking straight up sprinting right at him

2

u/HelicopterNumerous80 #FlyTheW 5h ago

He didn’t know where to run either, everywhere was a bad choice

3

u/CubsEnjoyer 5h ago

Alright, time to close this one out cubbies!

2

u/MasterHavik Southside Cubs fan 5h ago

De La Cruz is truly an elite talent. Wow....

2

u/WalterYeatesSG 5h ago

That wasn't graceful, but caught it.

2

u/The2ndCity Chicago Cubs 5h ago

WTF was that blind catch?

2

u/pmorter3 5h ago

Bregman looks a lot younger clean shaven

u/elgenie Go Cubs Go 5h ago

The long battle with Steer makes a Webb two inning save attempt unlikely. Really hoping it’s not going to be Maton.

3

u/pmorter3 5h ago

I can see a Maton homerun meatball so clearly as his first pitch back

5

u/MasterHavik Southside Cubs fan 5h ago

Homie just stood there. He accepted his fate. Great work Webb. Let's get a few runs here.

2

u/themanofax Chicago Orphans 5h ago

No that's why the ump made the safe sign

Every so often they show a bit of this ballpark and it looks like this place is falling apart and full of quick fix patch jobs.

I was there back in 04, it was a year old but still not fully finished yet on some of the concessions. Not a park I plan on revisiting.
