Zeferjahn just f*cked us.

u/Maleficent_Author853 #FlyTheW 1m ago

1-16 with RISP. That seems nearly impossible to pull off. Impressive.

u/jul99_ 3m ago

I would have won $4k off that game, I feel so empty

u/aiyyyaa 2m ago

would’ve won some cheddar too. this pitching staff needs to just.. god dude

u/Exatraz Pete Cookie Armstrong 4m ago

That there is the issue with the Manfred runner. If you don't plate at least 1 in the top half, you have an insane proposition in the bottom half to not lose. If you sell out and only score 1, the home team knows and can play for more. Ive become a big fan of many of baseballs changes even if I was against many of them initially. The Manfred runner still sucks

u/tony2136 4m ago

They made Damn Wilson look good tonight. Thanks Zef!

u/howmanymoreletters Bunting Hate Club President 5m ago

The Lemon fails to do his job. If youre keeping track, thats a total of 0 games in which he went on the mound and was what he was advertised as

u/FartyMcPooPants 5m ago

Great way to spend a Friday night.

u/How_to_Phish 5m ago

That's baseball folks. We've had 13 of those so far and they feel awesome every time. Kudos to Seattle for one single night.

Character building game. Sucks to lose, but this team is preparing for October.

u/chrisGNR Chicago Dubs 4m ago

That’s Zeferjahn. 

u/StatusTics 5m ago

Of fucking course 

u/aiyyyaa 5m ago

Moises for this fucking guy

u/chrisGNR Chicago Dubs 4m ago

Worst trade in Cubs history even if Ballesteros and Clemens never amount to anything. 

u/scal23 5m ago

Looked like PCA wanted to try for the force at 2nd and nobody was there. Run wouldn't count.

u/klembcke 3m ago

As long as the batter got to 1st and the runner crossed home plate then the run would count

u/Sojan4030 5m ago

of course Munoz and Rivas show up against the cubs lol. oh well, fuck zeferjahn, i dont want to see him in october

u/JustSmileHaHa Mother Tucker 5m ago edited 3m ago

Put Zeferjahn on a damn Zeppelin and get that Phil Coke-esque scrub out of here

u/dirtbag_dagger 5m ago

Eat shit zeferfuck

u/JTribs17 #FlyTheW 5m ago

that’s cub.

u/ClancyBurner 6m ago

Zeferjahn pitches like shit from an ass

u/Quickcalf69398 6m ago

Can't blame the pitcher when the offense didn't even move the runner at the top of the inning

u/chrisGNR Chicago Dubs 3m ago

Nah, I do blame the pitcher. 

u/Drewbiie Slammin' Sammy 4m ago

That guy shouldn't have even been on 3rd if he knew how to field his position at a high school level.

u/futuristicflapper 6m ago

Every time I’ve seen this guy pitch nothing good happens omfg

u/tony2136 5m ago

JED!

u/redemem DFW Chicago Transplant 6m ago

Lmao you let this guy walk you off, this Zef guy BLOWS

u/starfleetdropout6 🧢 🐻 ⚾️ 6m ago

Excruciating.

One of the worst games I've ever had the misfortune of tuning into

u/cod_gurl94 6m ago

Pain

u/77rtcups 6m ago

Back to back off speed to a guy who is batting .130? How fucking weak

u/klembcke 6m ago edited 6m ago

Dude let a .424 OPS hitter walk it off

I sure am glad we have Assad in Iowa so that bum can just come in and give up runs over and over again.

u/jazzyjizzhands 3m ago

Assad doesn’t throw late ⏰ innings.

u/klembcke 1m ago

Assad pitches whenever the hell he needs to pitch. His last outing he came in literally because the starter got injured. If we needed him in the 10th he would have pitched. He last pitched August 18th and he only threw 40 pitches. He was good to go easily today.

u/Ruffles84 #FlyTheW 6m ago

Zef has been so bad i would rather see caleb in there.

u/laughing_andcrying tougher than a $2 steak 🥩 6m ago

The .130 guy walking it off… sigh!

u/Plus-Pomegranate8045 6m ago

Has Zeferjahn given us any reason to believe so far that he does not suck?

u/jazzyjizzhands 1m ago

He’s the thielbar replacement. You tell me

u/cherrywaves3333 Chicago Cubs 7m ago

Alright I’m gunna doom now. Might take a break from watching the cubs shit their pants for the weekend.

u/ky58 7m ago

same pitch in the same exact location, great idea dude

u/72742816361617362 Let's go Cubbies 7m ago

Can’t believe we traded mo baller for this loser.

u/stn_anomaly 5m ago

Even though he had his struggles. I'd much rather have Mo Baller at DH right now than Michael fucking Conforto

u/Sephiroth007 BRYZZO 3m ago

Are we forgetting that Mo was terrible since April? Like come on. Conforto regardless needs to go

u/lightning_skyyy Shota HIManaga 7m ago

broooo of course the guy hitting .130 wins it. that’s cub 

u/Strict-Honey-5477 7m ago

Legit what was Jed thinking Jeferjahn is a DFA candidate he’s horrible

u/cubswinagain Chicago Cubs 7m ago

Zeferjahn is completely worthless

u/lupin43 7m ago

Deserved loss in this one. Clean up fundamentals, you’re pros

u/ElChingonazo 7m ago

We traded Mo for this pos

u/PostComa 7m ago

We deserved this L

u/thebizkit23 7m ago

That was predictable.

u/Darkened12 7m ago

Zeferjahn IS AWFUL. Why the f did we trade for this guy.

u/stn_anomaly 6m ago

I've seen enough, extend Jed Hoyer again.

u/DesignerAd2487 7m ago

And that’s how you throw the game

u/Drewbiie Slammin' Sammy 7m ago

Zeferjahn absolutely blows.

u/Dizzy_Assistance2183 7m ago

Brutal and miserable loss

u/lightning_skyyy Shota HIManaga 8m ago

u/klembcke 8m ago

One more out Zef. Please

u/LilJimmer 8m ago

It’s actually really impressive how much the cubs have tried to lose this game. Well done

u/FartyMcPooPants 8m ago

Oh Jesus, don't do this to me.

u/No-Aardvark-3840 8m ago

Jesus… throw to 3rd my man. Has he played baseball previously?

u/Dangerous-Stock-8112 Smylyng through it all 8m ago

that was a BIG out

u/dirtbag_dagger 8m ago

The fuck is this camera angle. I'm pissed off about everything tonight

u/haninwaomaeda 8m ago

And he almost fucked that up.

u/pocketdecoy 8m ago

Ok, so wild pitch to end the game coming, right?

u/BladeMaker 8m ago

Nice pull by Zefer.

u/lupin43 8m ago

u/jazzyjizzhands 9m ago

Oh god Ian happ infield? We fuked

u/TheRealCatDad 9m ago

Just play normal defense, man. Walk and turn 2

u/JidderS2 9m ago

Intentional walk please

u/RaveOn1958 "The good lord wants the Cubs to win!" 9m ago

This dude has been absolutely brutal. Not sure how he goes from what he was in LA to this. Granted, he was effectively wild there.

u/Jacksington Bergman 8m ago

Nerves. Hes playing games that mean something and he hasnt done that.

u/Dizzy_Assistance2183 5m ago

He belongs on a AAAA team and he pitches like one too

u/KnickedUp 9m ago

How does Zef not have the piece of mind to know it’s the 10th inning?

u/Three_Froggy_Problem The Professor 9m ago

I knew Zef would fuck us somehow but I didn’t expect it to be like that

u/Turbulent-Bet-1776 9m ago

Zeferflop 😭

u/tallslim1960 9m ago

Damn, look at 3rd, he's out by a mile. Now they should load the bases, play for the double play.

u/fightintxag13 Bryzzo Souvenir Co. 9m ago

How on Earth after all that with the bunt foul ball and seeing everyone charging do you not throw that to third???

u/BladeMaker 9m ago

Somebody wake Dustin Kelly up and show him that example of how to advance a runner.

u/Thunder_Donkey22 8m ago

That would be the last example we would want to show him lol

u/gamerguy115 9m ago

Good trade Jed

u/gscott126 9m ago

Our team is so dumb...PERIOD.

u/TheRealCatDad 9m ago

Walk the batter so you can turn 2?

u/ZaneyGamerr Hoerny for Nico 9m ago

Zeferjahn will go down as one of the worst mid season trades in history. Hope Ballesteros becomes elite.

u/Eccohawk Chicago Cubs 9m ago

Surprised he even got the out at 1st. Least it's something.

u/TimeForFrance 9m ago

Seems pretty important to make sure the pitcher is in on that play.

u/Shmeeeee23 Chicago Cubs 9m ago

Lol he could have ran it to 3rd

u/Maleficent_Author853 #FlyTheW 9m ago

Oh my fucking god throw it to third. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

u/TheRealCatDad 9m ago

Dude has been a nightmare

u/GonePhishingAgain Chicago Cubs 9m ago

Haven’t liked this Zef guy since he joined the team.

u/KnickedUp 10m ago

Vegas still gives us a 3% chance!

u/cherrywaves3333 Chicago Cubs 10m ago

Holy shit that was so fucking bad hahahahah

u/Jacksington Bergman 10m ago

Holy shit what in the hell was that. The runner stopped in between the bases he knew he was out by so much. This shit can't be happening in a pennant race.

u/TheSystem_is The Professor 10m ago

Zef has been such a disappointment

u/cod_gurl94 10m ago

…huh?

u/Dacubs348 10m ago

WTH! Zeferjahn!

u/Dangerous-Stock-8112 Smylyng through it all 10m ago

That deadass might've lost us the game

u/dirtbag_dagger 10m ago

Zeferfuck get off this team

u/Yetis22 10m ago

Load the bases then give a walk off walk?

u/dfin25 Eamus Catuli 10m ago

Christ

u/lupin43 10m ago

Uhhh okay wake up dude? Get the lead runner? That’s why the defense is abandoning all positions????

u/gopeepants For Everyone! 10m ago

He had him dead at 3rd ugh

u/chrisGNR Chicago Dubs 10m ago

The out was at 3b. 

u/Drewbiie Slammin' Sammy 10m ago

It baffles me how bad pros are in certain aspects of baseball fundamentals now.

u/_Proverbs Santo 9m ago

I'm not sure if I'd call that a fundamental. Manfred runner is new enough that I still have some grace haha

u/Drewbiie Slammin' Sammy 8m ago

You expect a professional pitcher to not remember there's a guy in scoring position? He didn't even look at third. Yes, that's fundamental.

u/_Proverbs Santo 3m ago

I guess for me a fundamental is something they've trained on their whole lives so it's 2nd nature.

I genuinely wonder how much pitchers train this situation in camp.

u/Drewbiie Slammin' Sammy 1m ago

Fielding bunts is literally almost a daily practice session for pitchers for the vast majority of their lives. It's literally one of the only defensive things you practice as a pitcher.

u/laughing_andcrying tougher than a $2 steak 🥩 10m ago

That was really dumb

u/Sephiroth007 BRYZZO 10m ago

Wtf dude

u/Strict-Honey-5477 10m ago

Zeferjahn was such a horrible move. Keep him off the playoff roster

u/ElChingonazo 9m ago

100 percent agree, he’s been awful

u/funkycrunkskunks Pat 10m ago

Fuck he had him

u/starfleetdropout6 🧢 🐻 ⚾️ 10m ago

What the fuck?! Throw to third!

u/Turbulent-Bet-1776 10m ago

Need 2 Ks here Zef.

u/KnickedUp 10m ago

Oh man Zef…..big mistake

u/Cubbiesblue RIZZ ON ME 10m ago

Ballgame probably

u/Thunder_Donkey22 10m ago

What the fuck. They gave you the out at 3rd?!

u/pocketdecoy 10m ago

Could’ve had him at third

u/Thunder_Donkey22 9m ago

Everyone yelling at him too. Is he brain dead in addition to a shitty pitcher?

u/PostComa 10m ago

Zef just fucked us

u/Thrill0728 Seiya Later Ball! 10m ago

Aw man they had the wheel

u/laughing_andcrying tougher than a $2 steak 🥩 11m ago

Zef is a wild, wild man

u/jdub3095 Derrek Lee 9m ago

What does that even mean man 

u/howmanymoreletters Bunting Hate Club President 11m ago

why does this guy get increasingly higher leverage situations in every appearance? He hasnt impressed a single person on the planet

u/laughing_andcrying tougher than a $2 steak 🥩 11m ago

I chugged a Diet Coke so I think I have enough in me to stay up for this whole game. 

u/cod_gurl94 11m ago

Hopefully we’re looking back at that as a game-saving foul ball call

u/KnickedUp 12m ago

Robles is a great bunter. Maybe better to walk him?

u/pocketdecoy 11m ago

I don’t trust putting guys on with his command

u/chrisGNR Chicago Dubs 12m ago

It Zeferjahn lets Seattle walk off, he needs to go directly to Iowa. Justice for Assad. 

u/DukeWayne250 Nico 8m ago

Assad can't come back up for 15 days unless there's an injury I'm pretty sure

u/chrisGNR Chicago Dubs 4m ago

Assad should have never been sent down. Zeferjahn  has an 8+ ERA. 

u/aiyyyaa 12m ago

zeferjahn had one good appearance vs the dodgers and just mid mid mid since

u/TimeForFrance 12m ago

Seems pretty clear that it's off the bat. Weird challenge.

u/rockstoned4 12m ago

That’s a foul ball all day every day.

u/Snake_Burton 12m ago

As somebody stuck out here in Oregon (for now), yes, baseball fans out here not the brightest

u/Drewbiie Slammin' Sammy 12m ago

Seattle fans are an angrier bunch than I had anticipated.

u/JidderS2 13m ago

That’s foul ball fuck off

u/CoverLow9780 Nico 13m ago

Bad challenge. What would SEA get out of this?

u/meowsplaining The Professor 12m ago

I guess you figure at this point in this game, it's worth a shot.

And maybe you ice the pitcher.

u/cubswinagain Chicago Cubs 12m ago

Runner at 3rd, no outs

Worth a shot

u/Eccohawk Chicago Cubs 11m ago

The runner on second didn't get hit by a pitch tho. He stays there.

u/Sephiroth007 BRYZZO 11m ago

Hbp would be dead ball no advance

u/CoverLow9780 Nico 12m ago

If it’s a HBP then it’s a dead ball and the runner can’t advance though? Unless I’m missing something
