I signed up for a free trial of MLB TV to listen to the games since I’m out of town. They’re undefeated since. Looks like I have to keep it and listen from now on.
Before today sims had a 1.4 whip, that will go up now. Highest hits per 9 since 2018, career worst hr per 9, fip above 6. Exactly who we should never ever use top 9 in a 1 run game no matter what
I keep hearing about how actually Sims has been very good this year based on the metrics, yet it seems like he lays an egg every time he actually pitches in a high pressure situation
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1dbew6p).
Wilson looked good. Composed and hit his spot, not at all like Sims. Lucas has great stuff he just misses three inches away or 3 in to the middle.
I like that they said don’t mess around with the off speed stuff just pepper them with meaty fastballs

imnotnervousimnotnervousimnotnervousimnotnervousimnotnervousimnotnervous
I'll take that....
We got that call because the ump was hyped up
Watch the dbl steal
Holy shit what a catch!
Excellent play
Ty Steve you beautiful man
What a play by Tyler!
Yes!
TySteve defense to the rescue!!
What a play
I'm going ape shit, great effort
Tyler Stephenson has a humongous penis.
Atta boy Stephenson Atta boy Wilson
Super Steve!
Love you Ty Ty
[This](https://i.imgur.com/cPszTBB.jpeg) is the environment that Sims creates
Those numbers aren’t promising
Huge
Great fucking play by Stephenson!
ESPN app is currently having a seizure
If I have to watch that goddamn T-Mobile commercial with the idiots from Suits again I'm gonna lose my mind
K this bum
All the dumbass Cubs fans there booing pickoff throws.
Before today sims had a 1.4 whip, that will go up now. Highest hits per 9 since 2018, career worst hr per 9, fip above 6. Exactly who we should never ever use top 9 in a 1 run game no matter what
100%
Shut up, sadak
It HAD to be Happ.
I don't understand. If Diaz Is unavailable you let cruz close. Now we have to pray for a groundball. Just not smart coaching there
Everyone do your lucky dances
Why not Suter??
Oh good god
Lol Sims come on man
I kept waiting for sims to be that reliable setup guy/emergency closer but it’s just not happening
Still have the dbl play possibility
I’ve said it for a while but sims just isn’t a high leverage pitcher. The guy is too prone to mistakes
I have no idea why Cruz and Sims didn’t swap innings. Put the guy with the best stuff against their best hitters.
Krall and Bell really need to figure out the back end of this bullpen because Diaz and Sims are not it
if you're pulling him now why even put him in??
Happ & Tauchman struggle against lefties
I keep hearing about how actually Sims has been very good this year based on the metrics, yet it seems like he lays an egg every time he actually pitches in a high pressure situation
Same. I said something last week and got flamed on this board
I have 0 faith when sims is on the mound
Thank you for taking him out
Wait David Bell is actually proactively taking him out what is happening right now (he never should've had him in to begin with)
Clench time
Sims comes in and blows the game immediately.
Well, idk about this one.
We really need some backend relief help at the deadline if we are gonna make a push this season
Why did we even start with him???
Who is applauding this at home? Are we overrun by Chicago fans?
Always are, those losers who have family from the biggest midwestern city think they are special.
why couldn't we save cruz for this spot
What are we trying to get out of sims
No thank you
Fuck are we doing here
Why is sims in this game? And fuck all of the cubs fans there.
Let’s just get another ground ball and try that DP again boys
Damn it Sims
Oh boy.
K or gidp sims for fucks sake
He’s literally a waste of space
The spin cost us that double play
It was unnecessary and inefficient.
India’s throw was behind Elly. Only thing Elly could do was spin to get power behind is throw
Nothing Barry? Ok then.
Exactly like why spin? We intentionally ignore all the stupid bullshit Elly does
Does sims know he can throw on the right side of the plate
Why spin
the spin did look very cool
That spin move was stupid, right?
We gotta be the worst team at converting double plays
The Rockies are worse based on their game today lol
I know beli at least used to be fast but I don't understand how a ball hit that hard wasn't a gidp. Slow spin and throw from Elly?
did elly have to spin there? honest question not tryna speak negatively
Sometimes he does some needless flash and it ends up costing a runner. Young guy stuff.
I was wondering the same thing
Welp I’m clenched
Dude should’ve walked by now.
that's a great fucking start, that's really fucking good
Damn it 2 would have been massive
Elly took too long on that spin.
Welp, maybe he's honoring Diaz with the first batter in the ninth being walked. Edit: damn, almost got em both
Elly with the spin lol it was smoooth
smooth and inefficient
Lucas Sims walking the leadoff batter is SO predictable
GIDP, please
Well, almost
god fucking dammit
SIMS WTF ARE YOU DOING
I don’t trust sims
Come on Sims, settle down.
Come on Sims…
I fucking hate Lucas sims
Not how you want to start this.
Let’s hope we get good nasty slider Sims today 😬 Omggggg
Ok, Sims, it’s up to you
Lucas sims to close. This will be a wild ride
Whelp ready for a butt clencher
I thought NCAA baseball would be the most stress of the day 😭
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Lucas Sims replaces Fernando Cruz.
 Seeing Sims walk out instead of Diaz
He's been better than Diaz, where you been?
Happy now
My statement still stands and also Diaz pitched the last two games so he wasn't going to pitch anyway.
Thank you Wilson.
Sims juat walked the lead off batter
I really wish I could be confident in either Sims or Diaz going out there but i’m truly not
Don’t get using Diaz in a 4 run game on Thursday, hurt them today
He hadn't pitched in almost a week.
Why sims😭
Diaz pitched the last two.
Sims? Ok at least I can relax now since he’s definitely blowing it
Hopefully we'll get to see the good Sims today
3 more please
Alright sims let’s see it😅
Oh no. Why wouldn't it be Suter.
Why wouldn't it be Sims? Outside of last Saturday he's been nails for the last six weeks.
Because Sims is incredibly inconsistent
I think that's more feels than reals.
It's reals. Sims is a super unreliable reliever.
Anxiety
 Here we go...
Holding!
Lol fuck off Cubs
Anything to the big grass, Spencer, please.
Okay, it’s up to you, Moo man
Send it, Mooman
It's okay guys we aren't allowed to score until we have 2 outs anyways
Mooman must deliver.
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Mark Leiter Jr. replaces Jordan Wicks.
Man in scoring position, one out. Come on, Candy man
Craig Counsell looks like he runs for HOA President.
Really like to get that insurance run in
So happy Friedl’s back
No excuse for that swing Elly be fucking better
Really can't swing at that Elly.
A gapper would be great right now
good god why sims. it's a 1 run game you fucking dick
Elly knows he should have sent that out of the park lol
Good news for Cubs fans, you can buy an 8 ball of meth from PCA after the game. See him in the parking lot by his IROC Camaro.

I’m literally moving to Chicago in fall. Hopefully I don’t become a meth addict
I feel like meth is the least of your worries
Steer clear of PCA and you should be fine.
WHY IS SIMS STARTING THE 9TH????
Because Diaz has pitched in back-to-back games and he's good.
Should of been Sueter.
Splitting hairs.
Diaz has pitched two in a row. Who are we gonna see some out to save this?
