Cubs can manage a 100-loss season. I believe in cub together.

Yeah, he was a Cubs scrap heap reliever in the 2015-2016 run, good velocity fastball and a curve but like nothing else, and from what I remember he couldn't command either of them.

I feel like there were a lot of cub relievers that fit this description from 2015-now. I do remember cubsposting "thing's about to get Grimm" though. That was fun.

Started in the majors a little over 3 years ago and has already been hit by pitches 22 times

For comparison's sake, Chipper Jones played 19 years and was only hit by nineteen; Hank Aaron had a few more than Acuna over 23 years; it took Craig Biggio (the second-alltime HBP leader https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Major_League_Baseball_career_hit_by_pitch_leaders) six years to be hit as much total. Dude's being targeted and it loving sucks

Eh I wouldn't go that far. Look at Rizzo's hbp stats and he's a swell lad. Glad x rays were clean.

I'm under no illusions that Lester is cooked, I'm just mad that he wasn't allowed to finish out his career as a Cub because Tom wanted to save like, relative pocket change.

Trading Darvish AND Carrot (who would be really helpful right about now given Romaine's injury!) for a bunch of A ball guys is just indefensible.

Instead of cooked Lester we get Zach Davies. Great fun!

this is not a rhetorical question, i am genuinely curious if anyone in here actually likes the ghostrunner?

It's pretty dumb in my opinion.

Unrelated, do the Cubs actually have a bullpen now?

Don't worry everybody the Cubs by the skin of their teeth managed to juuuuust hold off the unstoppable galestorm of baseball talent that is the 2021 Pittsburg Pirates. Only cost them their GG 2B who'd been hitting .324. No worries though, I'm sure their plethora of IF depth will be able to tide them ov-ahahahahahaha

Any Nico update besides his hamstring falling apart on tv?

I'm of the opinion just put a tube of approved sticky stuff on the mound next to the rosin bag. This unenforced rule isn't working and will lead to unequal punishment unless pitches get their hands checked for sticky literally every pitch.

The Cubs have gone 17-7 in May and every single one of those 7 losses was by 1 run. :monocle:

Damnit Kevlar why'd you ruin it?
