Jacob Webb

[laughs]

Uh, I mean, Jacob Webb's melted down.

Th- th- the guy that you went to, how many games did he close out that were big? He, he's blown three.

Like, that's three wins.

This is Locked On Cubs, part of the Locked On Podcast Network.

Your daily-

There's no answers in Triple A, but we're gonna keep running out Jacob Webb, and there's another walk-off

... for your second listen, check out Locked On MLB Game Night.

Now, Daniel Palencia has been awful since coming off the injured list with regards to this bullpen, but you've had some of these guys be able to step up like, hey, Gavin Hallwell has been pretty solid for this team.

You've been able to get good innings out of Ryan Rolison, Jacob Webb.

These are guys give you a sub 350 ERA.

Trent Thornton has been shaky, but he still has not been too bad for this team.

And Edward Cabrera can't stay healthy.

And, and Jacob Webb, excuse me, Jacob Webb has just fallen apart this month.

He's blown.

I mean, I don't, he's given up two runs in, in three of his last five appearances.

What's

up with Jacob Webb, dude? He's kind

of tired.

Jacob Webb stinks right now.

He's even flat-out said it in the press.

I'll give him credit.

I believe there is a philosophical decision the Cubs make that does not prioritize velocity, especially in the ninth inning.

And so when you... go to a ninth inning and you have Jacob Webb pitching and he throws a freaking change up right there, dead red.

And Jackson Churio basically breaks the facade of the upper deck with how hard he hit the ball.

That's a problem.

Yeah, it's like...

Until Jacob Webb came in.

Yeah.

And, you know, I would give the MVP of this series to Jackson Churio.

So never turn the

channel.

If Jacob Webb comes in, do not turn it.

It's must-see TV unless you're a Cubs fan.

Their bullpen sucks.

Jacob Webb had that two-month stretch.

It was a June 20th to August 22nd.

He was lights out.

Like, because you have a regression to the mean, like kind of joking, like just give up all the runs in one situation.

Like, and as opposed to like spreading them out, like obviously you can't do that, but like the joke was like, you're going to regress, like just regress it all at once.

Um, and, and with, with Jacob Webb, like it's literally happening every outing ever since.

Right.

I'm going to guess that the tweet you're talking about is the one that I said, I can't believe I let myself become a baseball fan when I was a kid.

And that was probably tweeted the moment Jacob Webb gave up that game-tying homer to Jackson Churrio the other night.

Guess what? It wasn't even that.

And that's perfect.

Why did I become a baseball

fan? Becoming a baseball fan was the worst idea I had as a kid.

As Jacob Webb gives up the game tying home.

You became a baseball fan because...
