Well that sucked.

One bullpen implosion a month isn't that bad.

I'll settle for one a week?  Holy shit this pen is trash right now.
Those Cardinals aren't red, they're yellow.  Like the Spanish!

Dillon Maples really needs to lean into this whole "blazing speed and no control" thing by either letting his hair grow or getting some goofy glasses or something - maybe firing his first warmup pitch into the backstop. If he can't throw strikes, he might as well be a character.

In the meantime, it's fung watching opposing batters bail out on strikes.

Fuck the Ricketts for putting together such a cheap-ass piece of shit excuse for a bullpen.  They're getting exactly what they deserve, this week especially.
You two wanna go stick your wangs in a hornet's nest, it's a free country.  But how come I always gotta get sloppy seconds, huh?

Is this where we talk about Pedro Strop being a fucking piece of shit? Or do I have the wrong thread?

Am I the only one?  It seems to me that the relief pitchers that the Cubs are acquiring have one thing in common.  They are all coming off injuries and have spent most of the previous season on the disabled list.   Cobble 4 or 5 of them together and you may get one whole pitcher.

That was the Hendry strategy. Roll the dice on cheap, damaged arms, with big upside. It occasionally worked, but mayyyybe not the hallmark of a winner?

The Cubs MUST sign Richard Hill. 
1.He is 39 years old. 
2. He is trying to get over a pitching arm injury. 
3. And he was just arrested for disorderly conduct.

perfect.
