This is fine.

Someone switch his setting to minor league? Jon Lester could have hit those out.

Outfuckingstanding work for these guys today. Rondon, Strop, Edwards, and Davis combined: 3 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 4 SO, 3 holds, 1 save. That Strop error made things a little dicey and Davis had some issues in the ninth, but they shut the Cardinals down. Good signs.

And if saves were like tackles and more than one guy could get credit for it, Edwards definitely earned it choking the life out of that 8th inning mini-rally.

Oh, so now we're okay with Cubs relievers choking the life out of things?

If they're baseball things, yes. You're not in favor of relievers choking non-baseball-related things, are you?

How long until DFA-ing Stop is an option?  He's becoming a massive liability.  Also, whoever had the idea to throw Cutch 4 straight sliders when the guy can't hit a 95 mph fastball anymore needs to spend some more time with the opposing scouting reports.
Those Cardinals aren't red, they're yellow.  Like the Spanish!

It's more than four fucking innings, you dope.

Shit it's not even like his velocity is down. He looks like Strop, he's just in one of those funks where he has no command. I'd be worried if he hadn't done this for various stretches for his entire career.
